The mattress was very comfortable however, it was too firm for me. I had originally bought the firm pillow top.  I could not lie on my side comfortably to read. So I traded it in for the medium firm pillow top and I am loving it. I actually love being in my bed. I have a sleeping illness and the old mattress would cause me pain if I was asleep too long. I find this one does not and if there is any pain from lying so long it goes away rather quickly. I did buy the mattress with all the extra features. It is wonderful.
