I'm a side sleeper and this matress feels wonderful. It's firm, yet soft and plush enough that it doesn't hurt my body and I can sleep comfortably. Upon ordering I don't think I realized how tall the mattress actually is,  it's not a bad thing, but if you had or wanted to add an additional topper onto it you might have a hard time trying to find sheets that will fit over both. It does come with a built in pillow top, so I have not had a need for additional topper but just a mention.
