I need a firm mattress. Can anyone tell me how firm this mattress is? Too-soft mattresses give me a backache.

After I filled it the first time it was still a bit soft, so I put more air in it. It was fine. I have a lower back issue, and It felt fine in the morning.

Both mattress' I tried started firm, but lost air and were very soft after 4-6hrs. They both needed additional inflation during the night.

I've never personally slept on the Intex mattress but I have laid on it. Our guests have found it comfortable and they're older. I believe that it's firm enough to be supportive for one's back. You do have a fair amount of wiggle room with how much you inflate the mattress--the more inflated, the firmer it will be. If it's too firm, you can always let some air out of it.

It is kinda firm but a waste if you are planning to use it for more than a week continuously cause one side will pop up and then you can't do anything to fix it.

when aired up fully its nice and tight, fairly firm. As it looses air its not as firm. 2 large people sleep well

I do not like firm mattresses myself ..I have a beauty rest mattress..but my back was bothering me. .I added this topper & was surprisingly pleased..It is about 3 inches thick..but it works great for me..it is hard to find a product that actually works..I love it

Can't say much about soft as this one is pretty firm. Want site is like it but now i can't sleep on anything but firm. Supposedly better on your back as well

I would agree with the others, it's medium firm to firm. A lot of local mattress stores have them on the floor to try out. I would recommend lying down on various different beds before deciding to purchase on Amazon for the extreme savings.

it's pretty firm - but it's memory foam - so you sink in a little. i really like mine, and i generally like a firmer mattress.

I am extremely happy with my purchase. I was worried at first but so far I am glad I took the chance. This is by far the best mattress I have owned. I have tried Ikea, Simmons, Beautyrest, etc. I did build my own box spring and put in extra support. I believe that helps also. I cant speak for the bed you are talking about but I have purchased a few Ikea beds and all have been slated bed base which didnt provide enough support for my back. All I can do is vouch for the mattress. It is excellent but I suppose that if it doesnt have a good platform to be on it will probably give.

I've had mine for only a couple of months now but it's very firm which I figured a low end mattress would lose the firmness faster so ill deal with it until then. Its comfy but stiff. And it is not foamy has a little spring bounce. For the price I'm happy. Back has started to feel better since I got it. My okd one was a soft thin cheap pillow top that sunk in two years

The mattress isn't firm. It is on the softer. My mattress filled up pretty quickly, but didn't completely fill out the sheet for a day or so. When it was fully set, it was much thicker than expected.

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

I wanted to add that you should base your purchase on the firmness you desire...it is VERY firm for a foam mattress. We returned ours.

This mattress is very comfortable, it's firm with just the right amount of softness. I love mine!

I think it is pretty firm - but I like softer mattresses. My wife thinks it is more on the soft side - but she like her mattress more firm. So this is a pretty subjective matter. I can say, thought, that I've slept on hotel mattresses that were WAY more firm, if that helps. We both sleep pretty well on this mattress, so I guess it's a good compromise.

It is firm. I'd say yes it is from enough to sleep on. It's not a soft mushy mattress like you see in stores sometimes.

The mattress is a soft medium...very comfortable, but I haven't slept an entire night on it yet, so I'm not sure how my back will hold up. You might want to look at some other options, because it is definitely not firm.

It is absolutely not a firm mattress. It's medium to soft, I would say. Don't think this mattress is for you!

I have had it for 3 months and it's firm but not too firm that it's uncomfortable. So far it's been a good mattress, I am quite happy with it. I took a chance after reading many reviews on it.

I'd say this is medium-firm. my husband has back problems and he LOVES this mattress. Very good quality in my opinion. and the customer service is amazing. they will go above & beyond to help if there are any issues at all.
