Some reviews say this mattress is too soft...do you find that to be the case?

I am very pleased with the mattress. My granddaughter is now 9 months old and I am still using the firmer side. Comfy mattress. It is softer than the rigid waterproof mattresses, but the feel is good. I do not feel it is too soft.

It's not too soft for safety but maybe for long lasting purposes. Our son doesn't like to sleep in the pack n play any more. I think it's bc it's too hard in comparison to the mattress.

no, this is a great mattress. We first put our baby on it a 6 months (now 8) he loved it from the start, has a nice "spring" to it, really happy with the quality and price also. We rotate it every couple of weeks, over all couldn't be happier!

Not at all... I found the infant side very firm and the toddler side just a tad sifter

All of my guests say it's a great mattress, I've had both male and female guests of different ages and sizes- consensus is it's really a good mattress, but because of the low price people don't want to believe it. No one said it was hot, I think that's mainly a memory foam problem.

The mattress is definitely not too firm. We find it supportive without feeling rigid. It is a much more inviting sleep surface than the older tempurpedic mattresses. It welcomes your body shape and supports areas that need to be supported without being hard.

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.

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.

It is very comfortable however it may not be firm enough for your liking. I would agree with the others who say it is "medium to soft." If you can check one out in a store first, you could "con-firm" if it is firm enough for your liking:-)

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

I suffer from arthritis of the hip, some people like the mattresses a little bit softer, I'd say this one is between soft and firm, but to my peace of mind, all the pain I used to sleep and wake up with has gone away since I started sleeping on it. I really hope you can find it as relieving as I have. Good luck!

I'm sorry, but it is a kinda firm mattress. Its a good one but Yea a Lil hard. I did hear it gets a Lil softer if its in a warmer climate but I'm in Fl and I keep it in the 70's in the house and its still a link firm. I would say if its not working for u then do like I did, I gave mine to my daughter and bought a pillow top mattress that was much softer which I did on Amazon. It was The 12' Pillow top Signature Sleep Mattress and I now Love. A huge difference. I hope this helps

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.

I'd agree that it is quite firm. It's not exactly soft. It is soft enough to be comfortable, but firm enough to support the body weight.

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.

It's soft you would need to have a real hard mattress so it would soften it up to your liking.

We bought a mattress similar to what you describe and it had several layers of memory foam on the top. It was not firm enough for us, We turned it over and it is much better. We also bought the foam you mention. I already answered that it wasn't as firm as we were led to believe. Our piece had no cover,cracked easily when rolled up. Both our purchases were from Amazon but to send these products back just is not worth the effort. They are not typical of the many things we have bought from Amazon. My conclusion to answer your question is " it wouldn't be firm enough for us".

My wife and I have had our mattresses for over a year and are well satisfied. I have to sleep with my head elevated and the constant up and down action hasn't caused any deformation. I find mine to be very comfortable, but my wife would like to have hers a bit harder.

I wouldn't say its overly firm or overly soft. It molds around the pressure spots just right. Very comfortable. Made a cheap mattress feel almost as good as my sleep number bed.

No, my daughter's mattress is soft and this makes it even better, i like that its gel too, she has night sweats sometimes and this mattress helps with it. We are very pleased with this memory foam that i bought another one. 5 stars!
