I love these shipped-to-order mattresses. So much more convenient than the traditional way of buying mattresses. But I understand it is is hard to take the leap and  buy a mattress without testing it out beforehand. if you like a firm mattress with a soft overlap, this is the one for you. It isn't too squishy but yet doesn't make your bones hurt when lying on your side for some time. But I like a firm mattress. Would highly recommend. One of the best mattresses-in-a-box I've purchased.  Slight smell upon opening. But dissipated after 48 hours.
