How firm is it? I have back problem and want to buy an extra firm mattress and also want the trifold one so considering this option.

I weigh 188 and can do pushups on this mattress and feeling no floor yet fairly supported. Little give and no piling up of contents. Hasn't lost firmness over the year either. That said, three inches can't provide same feeling of solidity as 8+. I also am lucky enough to be without joint pain, so would not know what to recommend in your case. Notwithstanding, this is a dense and comfortable mattress.

It's very firm, hardly any give (of course, the greater the weight, the more give there will be). I like this a lot - it's great for a quick bed for unexpected company.

Have not slept on the mattress myself, but it is not very firm. Might not be suitable for someone with a back issue in my opinion.

I think it more towards the firm side. I did a review on YTube for this great mattress. Just search for "Review and unboxing of Night Therapy Elite" and it should appear

It's held up quite well. I've actually been sleeping on it the last few nights. It gets a lot of use and the mattress has held up very well. It is more of a medium firm - not soft and squishy.

The more plush the mattress, the softer it should be. I bought this mattress almost a year ago and I don't regret it. I love this matress. I am a side sleeper too and I sleep very well. I am even so comfortable that I find myself sleeping on my back a little more.

Compared to what i owed previously, this has the right firmness for me. My back no longer aches. If yoy need something more firm, this may not be for you. I will say that it doesn't spring back like it did when i first purchased it, but still no more back pain. You may have to look at another product. This may not work for you.

Yes, I have the shikibuton trifold and it is a high density foam, not memory foam so it is much firmer. I think that is the main difference. The other differences you can observe for yourself

I found mine to have the same firmness. The best advice I can give is to force yourself to try it for about 3 nights. You will either love it or hate it. Just take comfort in the return policy!

I have not used the extra firm, however, the original is quite firm. It is way firmer than anything I've used at a gym or PT.

I believe this mattress to be medium in firmness. I weigh around 320lbs and it works well enough... could be a little more firm, but is much better than my old coil-spring mattress (no more stiff joints and back pain). If I had to do it again, I would probably purchase an 8-10 inch foam mattress... less material to compress (sink into) for someone my size. I also purchased a proper base for this mattress as well. It could be a little more firm for my preference, but I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. Other than that, it's great.

I bought one a few years ago, I would buy another in a heartbeat. Best mattress I've ever slept on. I see it's selling for the same price I paid for it, $699. I had to sell mine due to a move. I miss it every night. However, I would not consider it "firm." It is soft. I used to think firm was the way to go, but this mattress soft yet supportive. I hope this helps.

This is a great FIRM back rest. I have had it for several years, use it daily, push it around, pull it and it is still firm. I have back problems and I am so grateful that I purchased it. Get it, you'll enjoy it. MMC

I only slept on it a couple of times, but it's definitely more firm than soft. Hope that helps.

Its a bit more firm than a pillow top mattress, but I did put on a padded mattress cover and it softened it up a bit. Very supportive mattress, I have a bad back and this is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on.

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 very soft on the surface, but firmer as you settle in. It has all the qualities of a firm mattress, with the comfort of a soft one. The three layers offer fuller support the deeper you go, soft on top and for light weight, medium firmness for overall support, and a harder layer on the bottom so your hips and shoulders get all the support they need without making your spine sag. Overall, this mattress is nicer and more comfortable than the insanely expensive independent coil spring mattress pillow-top mattress we have at home! I say buy it.
