What I like about this mattress is the fact that it is firm, yet the foam on top allows a softness. It feels absolutely perfect. For 2 years I have been unable to sleep comfortably. Waking up every morning with everything hurting, and always taking OTC meds to get through the day. My first night on this new mattress was so comfortable. I slept all through the night, and woke up with no pain. I couldn't be happier.
