I had purchased a mattress before this, also well rated, that just wasn't comfortable. This, however, ended up being exactly what I was looking for. It isn't too soft or too hard, is easy to get in and out of, there's no sliding off of the edge. I actually look forward to going to bed again, after years of struggling with a mattress that was sagging. Although it was above the price-point I set for myself, it's been worth every penny. I'm more than satisfied.
