At first my fiancée and I picked out this mattress because of how soft it was. At first we weren’t sure how we felt about it because when you lay on it it’s not super soft. But after sleeping on it we both loved it. It helped my back not feel as bad when I wake up. My fiancée is a side sleeper and she said it feels great for her hips. Only real complaint is how tall the mattress is but we can manage.
