This mattress is the firmest of any memory foam mattress I have tried. For me unfortunately "too firm". I have to say I am really surprised after reading the reviews first how hard this mattress is. I was originally looking at the 12" Sleep Innovations and the reviews indicated that the 10" actually had more memory foam and was not as stiff and hard. I also tried this with a very good memory foam topper that I had used on a firm latex mattress, but it was not comfortable either and that topper can make almost anything feel good. Buying a memory foam mattress is so individual I think- very hard to do without trying it first. I wanted to love it and it seems to be very high quality, but I would only suggest it to someone who wants an extra firm bed with very minimal cushioning/sinking in from the memory foam.

bedding is firm,but has a softness to it, i am 64 yrs. old and i sleep very well in it.another thing , there is no way you can jump on it, you may prefer to buy a thicker mattress.

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.

I prefer a firm mattress and as long as this is used on a floor either carpeted or not; I personally find it very comfortable and wake up every single time thinking I am in my bed. When first squeezed with your hands you would not think it is firm however the floor and weight distribution surprisingly ends up very stable and comfortable. Hope that helps!

Separately - we already had a box spring. Our mattress is not firm at all, very comfortable if you prefer a soft, pillow top mattress. It comes unbelievably compressed and inflates quickly. We are very happy with this mattress.

The mattress is firm, but has a soft top that conforms to your body. I purchased a mattress pad and microfiber sheets and couldn't be happier. I would definitely purchase this mattress again.

I think it's really close to the Rhapsody. When I touch the mattress, I think "dang, that's hard", but once you lay on it and it conforms to you, it doesn't seem hard at all. I would call it Med/Firm. I have it on a platform, no box springs. I also haven't noticed it being too warm, which was something I had read about the foam before buying mine. I was also lucky enough to not have any issues with outgassing of chemical odors. I LOVE this bed.

Hi, I have had the mattress for about a month in a guest room. I've slept on it a few nights too. It's like a marshmallow and not in a good way. I regret the purchase and find it far too soft and squishy. I wish I had purchased in-store at a local furniture shop. It was cheap and convenient, though, and I suppose for a hardly used guest room it's OK. But VERY very soft.

I would say firm. However, with plenty of use, it becomes softer. I sleep on it every night and own two of them. My older one is noticeably softer from much use.

Mine was not firm. I bought it because my mattress was too firm and needed something soft.

Certainly I would NOT describe it as firm, but soft isn't right either. So I'll go with medium - I'm near 70, and have only used 5 or 6 mattresses in my life - this is the least firm, but I would say the most comfortable in memory. I've grown to really like it.

Hello,No. this mattress does not include a box spring. It is the one that goes on top of a box spring. If you want to know about the quality I can say that I thought that this one was firm memory foam, but when I tried it, I woke up with back pain, restless. I think that the quality is not bad for the price, but it depends on what you are looking for.

It depends on your definition of firmness, I always slept on a foam mattress all my life, this one is perfect for me. The memory foam on top is amazing and we only had for a few months. No problem so far under very humid and hot condition in DC

It has a medium firmness. I bought it for my 12 y/o daughter and she loves it. She has a platform bed and uses it with no box spring, so I say it's just firm enough to support her but not too much that she feels as though she's sleeping on a board.

Not firm at all, I had a water bed, which the bed is a lot firmer than and warmer. But not waking up with lower back problems. It's definitely not a firm mattress, I cannot sleep on a firm mattress. To me, its closer to a pillow top and with the 2" highloft gel matress topper ordered from overstock. It sleeps well!

It's fairly soft, if you prefer a firm mattress you may want to upgrade to one with springs

For me, i just put it on the floor and sleep from there. Box springs is up to u as a preference. Honestly, i wish i bought a firmer mattress. This is a bit soft for my taste.
