What bristle type is it? Hard, soft......?

I found it to have slightly firmer bristles than the genuine heads, but not much firmer. It also appears to have fewer bristles. These head's bristles do not seem to soften with use.

These are terrible for Oral B replacement heads. I just threw them away because they won't rotate and plan to buy Oral B brand.

Bristles are extremely stiff. I would have preferred a softer brush for indoor work, but will be ideal for cleaning the pool deck.

Great question. For now Sonicare only manufactures one type of brsuh head and they do not specify the firmness. As a dentist I would say the that the bristles most closely resemble "soft" manual toothbrushes. The cool thing is that the toothbrush handle has five different settings with the lowest setting being "Sensative". Even patients with sensative gums should be able to tolerate this setting well.

I am not sure of the composition, they look to be a hard black plastic bristle.

It is coarse. I use it for exfoliation and dry brushing. The bristles are so tiny but stiff.

Yes, the brush is very soft. I bought it specifically for hardwood floors as we have them throughout our house. This brush does a great job and since the bristles are so soft, it's very easy to vacuum them clean. You won't be disappointed.

Hello! The bristles appear to be made of Nylon and are long, soft and flexible, not overly stiff and firm. The product takes some time getting use to. I believe soft or stiff may be a matter of perception, however, they are flexible.

I've been using them so long It's hard to remember back to when I used regular tooth brushes that were classified as soft and medium. However, assuming my memory is correct, I'd actually call these somewhere in the medium/hard catagory. Probably in my opinion half way between medium and hard.

I would consider them medium. My wife & I both love this toothbrush. I use it more gingerly than she. It would seem the pressure used to actually brush is more of a factor than the soft, medium or hard bristle type, in my humble opinion anyway. There seem to be three different types of bristles on the brush head itself. Hope this helps !

bristles are harder than most brushes I have seen or used, but not so hard to be hurtful. I actually would love to find a stiffer solid piece bath brush, but in 20 years or so, this is the best I have found.

I use it for dry brushing too. I find it to have hard bristles. The first few times you use it, it isn't too pleasant. But I really enjoy it now!

Yes, it is soft. The brush is designed to be finishing, with use of a comb or styling brush in the other hand.

Yes... It is a bristle. It is probably about middle of the road or slightly less overall. You won't be disappointed, but likely will not write poetry about it either. I upgraded mine to a blade 4... Which I stinking love!!!

I don't think they are I think they are all soft bristle. When I ordered them they were the same as I received from my oral surgeon. Best advice I can give is to check with Amazon or on the inner net.

The brush head bristles would be closer in firmness to being hard rather than soft to be sure.

Bristles are metal and hard, but flexible. The one I have would be very large for that size dog, in my opinion.

I think they should be called soft. That's what they are labeled and what I always use. Don't detect that they are any different than what I always use. Had a little problem with the first one I used. Some bristles came loose after a few brushings but, so far, that hasn't continued as a problem.
