I grew up with a family full of back sleepers so we always had firm mattresses and as the only side sleeper I would wake up with aching shoulders. I finally had a chance to choose a bed for myself so I went with the softest option. It is like sleeping in a cloud and my shoulders and hips hurt less that usual. It might be too soft as low bed because you will literally sink right in, but after I buy a very tall box spring I think I should be fine. I’ve been having to roll out and onto the floor to get up. Maybe I should’ve gone with a medium with a plush top, but it’s too late and I’m okay with this mattress as it is for our guest bedroom and only I use it on occasion. All in all, if you’re a back or stomach sleeper this is definitely not the mattress for you. The coils sink all the way down and the mattress swallows you in like a hug. I only recommend this for true side sleepers with tall box springs and bed frames.
