are most buying the firm or the plush? My tempurpedic cloud is like a rock because I keep the house 60 at night.

We keep our home at 60 at night too. I bought the 5 inch plush (I think) and love it. I turn it over before going to bed (not sure why, just a habit).

This pillow does not get harder as the temperature gets colder. If you like a firm pillow then buy the firm for it will not get firmer with colder weather.

It is pretty firm. Costco carries quality pads. I would look for a pad with cooling gel otherwise it will get a little hot.

I believe you would still find the bed very firm. It is on my son"s bed and he described it like this yesterday, "if I lay there long enough, it will mould to my body but if I roll over, I feel like I am on a table.". I believe we will be removing the topper this weekend. He finds the mattress softer without it. spend a little bit more money and get a better quality one

Funny, one person says this topper is firm, but we put it over a normal mattress, and I think it's pretty soft! Almost too soft for my taste, but it's definitely better than the old mattress was, in my opinion.

I purchased this matress for use in my RV. I had previously purchased a 3" foam mattress for the RV and I felt like I was bottoming out so a thicker one was definitely the answer. I have a tempurpedic foam mattress in my bedroom. I would say that this matress is more firm then the tempurpedic but not enough that it effects my sleep.

I actually purchased mine because of the reviews relating to the softness. Mine; however is incredibly firm. We cannot sleep on it. Moved it to the guest room and the guests complain that it is too firm. Our personal experience is that it caused more pain, mostly in the hips.

I am actually disappointed in the softness of this topper because it forms to you body and smushes down after a few nights and winds up hard. You have to shake it out and knead it to get it fluffy again. It does solve our specific problem of our tempurpedic mattress being too hot, but I would suggest you try a natural foam topper for some softness.

there is both a plush and a firm version of the 14" mattress if I recall correctly.Initially it was extremely firm but it has softened somewhat with time. Even if it softened further, it would not be anywhere near a plush/soft mattress.if you're really looking for a plush mattress the 12" gel foam mattress will probably help keep you from sweating yourself out of bedLUCID 12 Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress - Triple-Layer - 4 Pound Density Ventilated Gel Foam - CertiPUR-US Certified - 25-Year Warranty - Fullor if you're dead set on a 14" mattress Lucid sells them in plush as wellLUCID 14 Inch Plush Memory Foam Mattress - Four-Layer - Infused with Bamboo Charcoal - CertiPUR-US Certified - 25-Year Warranty - Twin there is both a plush and a firm version of the 14" mattress if I recall correctly.Initially it was extremely firm but it has softened somewhat with time.

Go around to some mattress shops in your town and try them out. Especially the memory foam and latex ones, and make notes of the ones you like. If you have the names of the models of national brands that you like, you'll be able to give Chuck a better idea of what you like. I personally said pretty much the same as you and probably would have picked an 8 going in cold. I went to a Tempurpedic shop and tried out the mattresses and realized I wanted one just a little bit firmer, so when I corresponded with Chuck I picked a 7, and I'm very happy with it. But you're the only who can decide.

I believe my Hubs described this bed to be like soft floor...he meant it in a good way. It's a fairly happy medium between firm and plush.

It is softer than I expected not firm at all. We have a Temperapedic and this much softer than that. I rounded the corners (electric meat knife works great) to maintain the shape of the mattress below it and bought the 10" deep fitted sheets to capture the topper and the mattress. Overall I really like this for the money. FYI The foam smell goes away in a day or so.

I love latex pillows. I feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud. That being said, I have the high loft plush pillow and I think it's pretty high, and maybe alittle firm. I wish I had gone with the low loft. I think it will soften up some as time goes on as is the case with my last latex pillow. I am still using that one and really dont sleep much on this high loft pillow...I will eventually tho! When the old one wears out =-)

Please read my review from Sept 5 2012. I love this mattress. It is firm but yet conforms to your shape. I find it cold when I first get into bed. I have slept multiple times on the Serta cooling mattress mentioned in my review and I find it too firm. I am a side sleeper and my arms go numb. We had to add a mattress topper and that helped. I think the cooling layer is a sales gimmic I have not noticed a difference between this matteress and the one with the cooling layer.

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 thought it was hot. I tend to run warm anyway, with night sweats (TMI?) and it seemed the extra padding got extra hot and retained the heat. This is not a complaint about the product - it is well made, extremely plush and cushy. It's just a note that if you're hot and sweaty at night, this isn't one of those magic breathing, wicking matress covers that's going to alleviate any problems and could make it slightly worse. If I weren't a middle aged-woman, I'd give it 5 stars. :)

i wouldn't say "firm". My wife loves soft top mattresses. I love firm. It features a pillow top that is just right for the two of us. Really great deal for the price too. Don't be alarmed when you see the box it ships in though- ours was folded and rolled into a 1'x1'x4 ft box and vacuum sealed. it turned out to be our favourite mattress so far. We've had it for about two months now and its held up so far, no change since the day we unboxed it.

My mattress is very firm, but it is now beginning to sink where my touchy is and I 've had it for about five months now. Also, I spoke with a someone who has been selling mattresses for years and she stated, "People either love Tempurpedic or they hate it." I will personally not buy any memory foam (mattress, pillows) anymore. DONE!
