I don't know how long you've had it. Mine was delivered at the end of November so it was pretty cold. It was really hard and I was kind of worried but it softened up in about 4 hours. I think it softened up a little more as it became room temperature. I really like it now but I was like you and was worried when it first came. Hope this helps.

It softens up where you lay, stays firm where you don't. Resulting in mountains and valleys. I hate this mattress.

I've only owned it for about 9 months now, so I don't have a ton of experience with it yet, but the top lair as I'm sure you're aware is that tempature gel so it takes awhile before it contours to your body.My short answer is no, it doesn't soften. If you set your fingers on the side you can feel that its really soft below the temperature lair. I haven't tried but maybe you could take the cover off switch which side of the mattress you're sleeping on. Hope that helps.

It is very soft. Has to be fluffed often. After one night it makes the mattress look like it is sagging. Really like it though.

Its definitely a firm mattress! A bit too much got my liking and I usually prefer firm.

Have had the Mattress since december 2013 and there has been no need to do anything to it except launder the sheets! I love this mattress it took about a month to get used to feeling like I was laying on a rock (because it is so supportive) but now it just feels good to crawl in! I suspect once a year or maybe twice I may vacuum it and rotate it but as of right now there is no need to do that but old habits do die hard!

We've left ours inflated since we got it in early April - 2 months ago. It became a little softer, but I think that's because it's new and hasn't been inflated before, all the little wrinkles are smoothed out by the air now. It seems just fine, but we use it only once in a while maybe once a week, not every night. I don't think it is meant to be used daily like a regular mattress.

That's what we did when the MF mattress we bought turned out to be much more firm that we expected.If you're looking for a super soft mattress topper, keep looking. This one gave only a slight improvement but,it is quite comfortable now that we're used to it.

It is not firm. As you lay down it starts to conform to your body. It is the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on but it is not firm.

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'm not sure what you mean "sleep hot", but yes it does make mattress feel softer.

I think the shock of first laying on it is that it is very firm, but your body just slowly nestles into it. We have had ours a couple of months and it is still very firm when first sitting or laying down, but it has settled a bit after the first few weeks. Give it some more time, both for the mattress and your body to adjust to the difference. We are very happy with ours, but it did take some adjustment time, after being used to an old spring/coil mattress.

Pretty firm, but I notice the cushion I sit on most is now slightly softer than the others. I've had this couch for 8 months now and still love it.

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 think it is rather firm. I also noticed that after sitting on it, it would spring back up like a tempurpedic mattress

They seem firm to me, though I am not sure I understand your concern. I wouldn't say they were any softer than the rest of the mattress, which is firm in my opinion.

I noticed that it does indeed seem softer. I wouldn't say it a huge difference, but it is noticeable

I see you got some mixed results! The top of the mattress is quite soft, giving it an initial cushy feel, but the mattress is quit firm. I would agree with the "supportive" answer. Beware, the first week I got this mattress it was difficult to get out of bed, that's how awesome it is.

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.
