Id say the firmness of this bed is about medium to medium-soft. It came in great condition and did all the things beds are supposed to do. I do notice temporary depressions if I stay in one spot too long.
Good:
- Bed was clean, sealed well in the plastic within the box
- Despite having to wait two weeks to unbox it, it still expanded to the full size (or very close) within 24-36 hours
- Bed feels like a sturdy cloud (this is also, apparently, a Bad for me)
-I typically fall asleep on my side and I do not feel any pressure points on my hips. Bed conforms to body but you dont get eaten alive by the memory foam.
Bad:
- Ow, ow, ow.
To add some context, I spent the month prior to getting my bed sleeping on an air mattress for two weeks and then sleeping on a very old couch (whose cushions would slide off and Id be against wooden slats at weird angles) for two weeks. I think I got a more restful sleep on those. Ive only been using the bed for about two weeks now, so maybe my body will adjust and it wont hurt as much. Ive always boasted that I can sleep comfortably anywhere; I could sleep on a rock...but for whatever reason, this hurts my back majorly.
The best conclusion that I can come to, is that I sink into the memory foam too much and my back muscles clench through the night, causing me to be stiff and sore.
Neutral:
- Get help for moving. I managed to wobble and carry this around and unpack it by myself, but like any other mattress -- its easier with someone to help you.
- There is quite a bit of give if you sit on the edge of the bed. More so than youd experience in a spring mattress. You will slowly sink into a spot the longer you stay in it. Not in a oh-no-I-cant-get-up way, though.
- Did not notice any smell that is sometimes associated with bed-in-a-box memory foam beds
Medium-Soft, Good Quality, but Causing Back Pain
