I was SUPER hesitant to buy a mattress online. However, I moved out of my ex boyfriends house and I took zero furniture with me so I was sleeping on an air mattress for a few weeks and was sooo over it. After researching a bunch of different mattresses online for about a week, I decided to purchase this one and I’m so happy I did. This mattress is not too soft and not too firm. I could quite literally spend all day in bed. I plan on buying a mattress pad to put over it just to make it a bit thicker (the current thickness isn’t bad at all—just personal preference!) If you’re hesitant like I was, just buy it and you’ll be so happy you did )
