How do I know which side is the firm side?? I can't figure it out by just feeling it...

It's the same on both sides. Naturepedic makes another mattress that has a plush side and a water resistant side, but this one is the same on both...water resistant covering.

Yes, I agree that it feels firm, but not in a rock-hard way. You can feel it begin to conform to you. If you don't like firmness, try softening with a mattress pad that is lofty, or a pillow top, or a feather bed.

It is only on the one side as shown. You are smart to ask as I did not realize it and it is on the wrong side for me!!!!

Its on the firm side but once you sleep on it for a week or so it just seems to fit your body. This is a total different sleeping experience which takes a little adjustment...I had a sleep number bed for years and I must say this bed is awesome back pain reduced dramatically

It's flat on one side and slightly rounded on the other. I sleep in mine and can sometimes feel it if I'm on my side, but I can just adjust the alignment.

I realize this is a very late reply to your query, but I thought I'd answer anyway. I sometimes take several months to make a decision about a major purchase. This is super sturdy and doesn't feel bouncy or like you are leaning forward. It feels really good, very solid. it is very comfortable. I am out of shape and needed to start exercising, and my use of this is increasing over time -- I am up to 3x a week.

This mattress is too firm for me! I have tried and I toss and turn in the night. My shoulders ache in the morning! Can't feel the gel either!

Both sides are firm, I couldn't tell the difference until I looked at the label

Kind of. When you push in on it with your hand you can feel clumps of memory foam. It is kind of hard to describe the feeling but it is a pleasent feeling. It is very suddle and when laying on it you don't feel it at all.

Not that I noticed, but it was easy for me to tell by just feeling it - the infant side is very firm

Boy, do I have the same problem. Did you ever figure this out? I'm afraid to push too hard. Do you go right to left?

Yeah I have noticed that, because I sleep alone on my queen size one and I have to switch sides every couple of months. Other wise once side would be deeper than the other :/ also its becoming a bit too soft for me.

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.

Firm as in doesn't budge under your weight? No. If you press your hand in hard, you can see the imprint. It's comfortable to sleep on tho.

Firm is not a word that describes this mattress. The word that comes to mind, is 'enveloping'. When I lie down, I sink in - and honestly have trouble rolling over. I am sad to say my back feels worse now than before I bought it. Good luck in your search for a good night's sleep.

In my terms I would not call it firm. It gives when you lay in it. At the same time, I wouldn't call it soft either; it's right in between. It reminds me of a temperpedic type mattress although not that high end. Not sure if that helps. When I lay on beds in furniture stores that are really firm I do not like them. This is not that type of firm for me. It's light weight but still a good amount of support.

My experience tells me that it is a soft initial firmness with a deeper firmness under the top layer. So, firm with a soft pillow feel.
