Great for side sleeper! It’s not too soft or hard just right for you, not to have that drowning feeling while sleeping or laying down. It takes 72 hours for this to fully fluff to its original form and notice the height when it reaches to 8” that’s when you can tell it’s good to start using this mattress. I like this mattress because it’s not only gel memory foam it has no chemical smell at all!  Overall, this is a great quality mattress at a cheaper price!
