I consider myself a back sleeper, although sometimes I wake up on my stomach. This mattress is firm. This mattress also has what I would call a plush layer on the top. I have had some really good sleeps since trading up from my old memory foam mattress. This one has support. When I lay down on my back I do not just sink in. I feel more cradled. The dark blue color of the mattress is also nice. I a month later and I do not regret making the change to hybrid.
