I prefer a very firm bed. Does this mattress sag after a year or two of use? I'm looking at a king size mattress on a platform bed.

We have only had our king for a couple of month, so can't speak to how it will be in a year or two, but I consider it a very firm mattress and at 240 pounds, if I put my knee and weight on it, there is very little compression. I can turn over on it and my wife will not even know I moved. Overall, we love it. Also bought a sleep-tite cover for it which is required by the warranty.

I am on it for about six months, now, and I don't see any evidence of sagging. I am Queen, on a platform bed.

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 doesn't "sag" but there are probably indents where the bars go under the mattress. I've laid on my daughter's bed and you can't feel anything different.

I bought mine in august. So far it is holding up great. Extremely firm at first, but softened up a bit after a month or so. Still firm though and that is how we like it. At this point it bounces right back to normal and no indents.

Mine fully recovered from plastic wrap in less than 24 hours so I think it depends on temperature and humidity how long it needs. I have only had mine a couple of months now but definitely no sagging so far, and I am pleasantly surprised with how comfortable this mattress is. I was convinced by reading other buyers reviews, and I completely agree with them.

I also purchased this bed for company. We used it daily for over a week and had no problems. If it seemed low after a few days of use, we just turned the air pump on for a minute to make it firm again.

I've had mine for four years, and it hasn't sagged, at least not when there's no pressure on it. However it has gotten so soft and soggy to the point that sleeping on it feels like torture. Their warranty is entirely useless. The ONLY thing they cover is over 1.5" of visible sagging with no pressure. Nothing else!!

I've used it for 2 weeks so far and it took a little getting used to. I like a very firm bed and it can do this if you blow it up enough. I also used a high quality mattress protector to add comfort.

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.

Nope, no lip. I have the 2 twin xl for a king and it never moves. Once you sleep on it the mattress kinda sags into the openings a lil so it never moves. Not sure if that makes sense but you get out of bed the part under sags into opening so it won't move. I am not saying you mattress sags at all when using it. But your weight starts forcing a bit through a opening. Understand?

It is firm but resilient - unlike a futon mattress - so where the prominent parts of your body press on it, it gives slightly. Note that this is not the same as sagging, which it does not do at all. We have the 10" one (sold directly by the company), and it is amazingly comfortable.

Maybe if you had two. I prefer having two. But my husband is ok with one. I've had mine for a year and my high plush since February and they're both holding up perfectly. Although I do wish I'd gotten another firm because I don't like sinking into my pillow. :)

I have one and I would equate it to a having a moving blanket on top of the foam that lines "Otter boxes", (which it is essentially made from). It does depress when you kneel on or sit on it, but it retains its shape firmly when you lay on it. There is just enough softness so it doesn't feel like you are rolling around the ground. It's similar to sand after it rains with about an inch of cotton padding on it. So you don't noticeably sink in. By the way I am 6'1" and 255 pounds. If I had it over to do I may go one step softer than this, since I am most comfortable on a moderately padded couch. Though I do say this is a fine mattress, since there is no sagging anywhere after a year.

We have used ours every night for a year and no noticeable sagging has occurred. It's the same size and texture as the day we got it.

you need either slats or box spring. Also,1 year later and I hate this mattress so I don't thinkI would recommend it. Where as I would wake up rested, now I wake up with my back sore.I think its the support diminishing overtime but you would expect a mattress to be good for a few years no?

I have been sleeping on an air mattress for years (I will never go back to a regular mattress). Some of them get holes (I have a cat), some have lasted only a month or two, I even got one that leaked when I got it. On average I have to replace a good mattress about once a year. This is one of the best I've seen, but I've only had it a couple of months, we'll see.

I weigh 275lbs. I would describe it as a soft brick. You sink into it very little. This mattress is ultra firm. My wife hates it but I can sleep on it . And after a year of use I am starting to agree with my wife. It almost seems firmer than a year ago, but may just be me. I paid $400 for this but it may be time for another or a mattress topper. If you like firm, give this a try.

The mattress performs great for me on a platform made of bowed oak boards, spaced every 8 inches. For a firmer bed, a simple flat platform would also work. The key is support across the entire bottom surface of the mattress. The foam is sturdy but needs continuous support from below to perform at it's best.
