My fiancé likes firm mattresses and I’m on the softer side. He favors support and I favor comfort. I’m a side sleeper so the softer the mattress I seem to sink and it supports my side better and he’s a back/side sleeper and he favors firmness. We both love the bed. It is just enough support for him while still being soft and comfortable for me as a side sleeper. This was the best compromise we could have made. I was super skeptical about buying a mattress online but I’m stoked we did!
