What exactly is very firm? Is it like sleeping on a carpeted floor?

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.

It is quite firm. Once you lay on it for a bit, it molds to your body from your body heat and is very comfortable, though still firm.

For me it has good firm but i don't think it is super firm. I am not sure about the density. For me it is give good comfort and i use it in my car and it really helps.

It is very firm. You may want to use a pillow top mattress cover or egg-crate type topper.

Fairly firm but amazingly comfortable! It does say plush but I don't find it soft.

I would describe it as firm, but not hard as rocks. I love mine and it really helps with tailbone pain, which is why I got it. I move it about the house with me, wherever I plan to sit for awhile.

It's quite firm - as firm as any 'firm' mattress I have ever had and a very good alternative if you are not ready to replace your mattress, but need support, as we did, for a bad back.

It is not firm. As you lay down it starts to conform to your body. It is the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on but it is not firm.

I'd agree that it is quite firm. It's not exactly soft. It is soft enough to be comfortable, but firm enough to support the body weight.

It's fairly firm, yes. I'm also a side sleeper and it works very well for me.

It is firm but not hard. It's memory foam - so it keeps its shape well but it's squishy and comfortable.

I can best describe it as a dense, hard foam rubber. I've had mine for over 5 years and it is just as firm as when I got it.

Yes. It is quite firm. You don't feel like you're sinking into middle of bed. It's very comfortable.

It's very firm. I sleep on it ok though. My 280 lb husband husband loves it. I may try getting a mattress topper soon though.

That's difficult to answer, since that's a everyone's anatomy responds differently. That said, I think it's quite firm. Not hard, but I never sink down into it. I don't sleep on my stomach due to neck and back issues, so I can't say with any confidence when it would be like. But soft is not the way I would describe this bad.

the pillow top gives it an initial plush feel, but then once you put all your weight into it it's more of a firm mattress. So overall I would say firm.

I would say its a little bit firmer than a crib mattress however it's not uncomfortable. It reminded me of a softer gym mat. Like the ones we used in gym class as kids. It's actually quite perfect for a bed away from home... In my opinion. :-)
