Firmness of the 10 versus 12...SI rep said 10 is a bit softer. Anyone with experience on this topic?

10 is firm, yet giving....not a hard feel. I do not have experience with the 12.

I could be way off here, but all I can go on is my own experience. The firmness seems to be a function much more of the mattress than of the box spring. My own experience was that the only difference I noticed was a decided change in stability that no doubt came from the fact that the old box spring was pretty run down. But I did not change the mattress and thus did not notice any great difference in the feel of the bed while I slept. I'd strongly suggest waiting for more responses, though, to see whether mine was representative.

I would go with the 12 - 15. My husband wallows the sheets off the bed and the full coverage helps to prevent this. Also, you may want to add a memory foam pad at some point depending on each of your firmness preferences.

I did a little research, Libby, and it seems to me the pink one is softer. It is plenty hard for me, however. i would not be able to tolerate one that was any harder. I am a woman 62 years old medium built is plenty hard enough for me

We have a pillow top queen and the regular bunkbed mattress. They are both very comfortable, but I wouldn't consider either of them firm. The 7 inch crazy quilt is more firm than the 10 inch pillow top, in my opinion.

Unfortunately I didn't think it was as firm as the earlier ones. I believe it is as thick, but without the firmness it doesn't seem to be as thick. One thing that concerned me that was in some comments was that it smells like chemicals, mine definitely did not smell.

I'm not sure of the difference in the weight, if you have storage under the bed, then the 10 inch might be better. Consider how difficult it is to raise the bed platform and then think about keeping it raised while you remove items. When we purchased our mattress, we did not have storage under the bed so the weight was not a major issue but when we purchased our new Class A, we knew we could not use a 90 lb mattress.

I have the 10". I am a side sleeper & find this mattress very comfortable. I was never comfortable sleeping on my back before this mattress but now that is also comfortable. This mattress doesn't leave gaps under your body so it feels really good. I don't think I'll ever go back to a pillowtop/spring mattress.

This mattress is the firmest of any memory foam mattress I have tried. For me unfortunately "too firm". I have to say I am really surprised after reading the reviews first how hard this mattress is. I was originally looking at the 12" Sleep Innovations and the reviews indicated that the 10" actually had more memory foam and was not as stiff and hard. I also tried this with a very good memory foam topper that I had used on a firm latex mattress, but it was not comfortable either and that topper can make almost anything feel good. Buying a memory foam mattress is so individual I think- very hard to do without trying it first. I wanted to love it and it seems to be very high quality, but I would only suggest it to someone who wants an extra firm bed with very minimal cushioning/sinking in from the memory foam.

I would rate it an 7/10 for firmness. I was thinking it would be softer, but probably any softer and you would feel the bars.

I've had both. Gentle is softer, as stated. I prefer the standard because it doesn't flatten out as much over time. However, it is hard and if you like a softer (ie, feather pillow), then go with the gentle. I feel like these pillows only last 6-12mos anyway, so try one hardness, and if you don't like it, buy the other and try it next time. There's not enough difference between the two to make you really not like either one.

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 is more firm. It does take a little while to break it in. Then it does become softer.

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.
