Perfect amount of soft and firmness for sleeping. Great size for couples or just yourself. Works great with or without box springs.
We had planned to put this on a platform bed, but it turned out to be too low for my taste. Either way this mattress is perfect to use with or without box springs. There are TONS of mattresses to choose from online but I like the fact that it was a hybrid, as we will be moving soon and plan to take it with us. This mattress has some form to it as it’s a hybrid so should be much easier to move. Once you open it it will quickly expand, super easy to do just open the box and cut the plastic. This mattress is quiet and very comfy (havent slept on it yet but I did lay down on it for a few hours after it expanded). Yes, there is a correct side that needs to be facing up. There is a darker seem that goes around the bottom perimeter of the bed, so that goes facing down. Very comfortable and reasonably priced, definitely recommend it.
