Awesome mattress! I was skeptical about buying this mattress becausr of the mixed reviews of it not being soft enough or not firm enough. It IS soft but supportive at the same time. You sink into it but it conforms to your body and supports it so it isn't too soft. I am 48 & already had a hip replacement 3 yrs ago & am having the other hip replaced next year. I also have bad back problems. I am a side sleeper and its super comfy but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night on my back and that makes my back hurt on this mattress. But because I have degenerative disc disease and bulging discs, sleeping on any mattress hurts my back when I lay on it. So if you are someone who tends to sleep on their back I would say this mattress is not for you. But if you are a side sleeper I highly recommend it. I love it!
