I have the 10" queen mattress. It is quite firm but comfortable. The issue I have with it is that it makes me lean/gravitate towards the middle because my husband is heavier than I am so his side of the bed sinks down more and I fall towards that side. If you sleep alone, shouldn't be an issue.

I believe this mattress to be medium in firmness. I weigh around 320lbs and it works well enough... could be a little more firm, but is much better than my old coil-spring mattress (no more stiff joints and back pain). If I had to do it again, I would probably purchase an 8-10 inch foam mattress... less material to compress (sink into) for someone my size. I also purchased a proper base for this mattress as well. It could be a little more firm for my preference, but I'd give it an 8.5 out of 10. Other than that, it's great.

I am a side sleeper. I use this mattress in our RV and we stay out 2 months at a time. It's been fine with me and I'm a buff.... Big Ugly Fat Fellow! I was worried when I bought it that I really should have gotten a 10" mattress, but the 8" is just fine.

I think it more towards the firm side. I did a review on YTube for this great mattress. Just search for "Review and unboxing of Night Therapy Elite" and it should appear

I am using a memory foam mattress. I have a 6 inch which is definitely not enough,the foam squishes down and I keep hitting my tailbone or shoulders on the slats. I think you would need a 12 or 14 inch mattress for this. My boxspring was thrown out (by mistake) so i now have my old mattress underneath the memory foam.It helped quite a bit but in all honesty the next time I'm going with a regular setup with a memory foam top (mattress). Good luck William!

I recently purchased an 11" Brentwood mattress for school. Now, I have only owned the mattress for a few weeks, and have slept on it a total of about 5 times, so I am by no means as experienced with this mattress as others. With that being said, I spent some time in the local mattress stores exploring options because I was also on the fence about the 9" vs 11". What I tended to notice in the store was that the thinner mattresses were slightly firmer than their thicker counterparts. The 11" Brentwood is a medium firm, but a very comfortable sort of firm (i.e. you don't sink into the mattress more than a few inches, but it is really supportive). I imagine that the 9" would be just the slightest bit more firm, which could be great if you like a firmer bed. As for the gel keeping you cool, again I can't speak to much of the 9", but the 11" keeps me cool, which is great because I usually wake up hot in my tempur-pedic at home. Last I looked there was about a $40 difference between the 9" and 11" which is a significant difference for a mattress under $400. Really the decision for me was do I want to pay an extra $40 for 2 inches of foam and a maybe slightly more supportive mattress. I ultimately decided yes, but you (more that likely) will be happy with either.

According to the manufacturer's web site this mattress has a medium-plush feel. That means it's not too firm or plush, but is leaning more towards the plush side.I ended up buying one that was more firm for that reason.

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.

It is the height/thickness of the mattress, not the firmness. Firmness depends on the layers in between, read the label carefully.

It was too plush for me. I traded with a friend who purchased a different brand that was too firm for her. Great question and extremely important. The sellers should provide more info...even have a firmness scale that provides this key measurement. Who cares about 13 or 15 inches if its too plush or firm?

Yes, the 10 inch is actually softer, we have both 8 and 10 inch. I personally prefer the firmer 8 inch, though

I chose the 13" gel because I like a softer mattress & the rating was softer than the thinner mattresses. It has worked out excellent. I am a big guy (6'2' & 345 lbs) & it feels like I'm suspended in a cloud. I don't ever feel like I'm bottoming out, even when I'm sitting. My wife is small (5'7" & about 125 lbs) & she loves it too. It's a perfect fit for us, as we both like softer mattresses. If you also prefer softer ones, I'd recommend the 13", especially if you have a larger family member. If you prefer a firmer mattress, you might want to consider one of the thinner ones. The gel foam is cool, by the way. I tend to get hot at night & this mattress is at least as cool as, if not cooler, than my previous air-adjustable mattress. Much more comfortable too. Wish I'd gotten this years ago. Hope this helps!! Goodnight!!!

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.

At closd to 250 the mattress is a dream for me. Very comfy. No aches, no difficulty getting on or off. Never tried the 10 inch tho so cant compare

Im perfectly content with the 6" mattress myself. Many a nights it is slept on actually. So I guess if you want it extra chushy then maybe get the pad too, but I think the mattress is very comfortable.
