For the most part, it is a solid bed. However, one thing I noticed right from the beginning was how misshapen the mattress was even after letting it decompress for 48 hours. The pillow top has area where there just seems to be excess material and therefore forms a bubble on the top of the mattress, and if you happen to lay on it you definitely feel the excess material. I guess for the price I was expecting a mattress that was going to look and feel extremely luxurious. The feel of the mattress is pretty nice for the most part, I think it is definitely firmer than what is claimed but still a very plush feel. As far as quality goes, this is about on par with the Dreamcloud mattresses for about double the price. I believe Helix also produces Dreamcloud mattresses so if you're on a budget or just really unsure of what mattress you'd like I'd recommend going with Dreamcloud.
