We shopped for MONTHS! We had always had spring mattresses and had always wanted to try a foam mattress. So...we went to every box store around to try EVERY mattress available in the Tempurpedic line several times, along with other name brands, to find the PERFECT mattress we could AGREE to purchase. And of course, the first mattress - Luxe Adapt Soft - was so comfortable in the store but way too soft after a night's sleep. Hubby is 300# and I'm 135# and we BOTH sunk into holes making it tough to move around = not comfortable. We then went with the Luxe Adapt Firm - just amazing! It is NOT too hard, it is PERFECT! The Luxe part is sort of like a Pillowtop on top of a firm but comfortable, supportive mattress. There's a little indent in the mattress that gives you that comfortable feeling and still allows you to adjust position easily. So happy with our final purchase! Thanks!!
