Is it a soft mattress or firm mattress? I prefer a soft mattress. Also, I am 5 11 &amp; over 200 pounds. Why wouldn't be comfortable for me as my only bed

It is a firmer mattress and because it is a cheaper model of bed, I don't feel it offers the needed support for someone that size. Over time it will lead to a sore back. For a vacation bed, fine, but I don't know if a $99 "everyday" bed exists.

i would say its more in the middle between firm and soft. i personally do not like a very firm mattress so its perfect for me

I see you got some mixed results! The top of the mattress is quite soft, giving it an initial cushy feel, but the mattress is quit firm. I would agree with the "supportive" answer. Beware, the first week I got this mattress it was difficult to get out of bed, that's how awesome it is.

If you need something firm I would not recommend any memory foam. Memory foam it is by nature not firm, but the opposite, it molds to your shape. Sounds like a spring-based mattress would be more appropriate for you.

Not here I weigh 205 lbs I'm a body builder I tend to sleep about a foot from the edge of the bed because my 2 labs sleep on my bed with me.I've began to notice that the spot I'm sleeping in is much softer than the rest of the mattress.If I move over to the middle of the mattress it's like being on a new mattressI still wake up feeling great better than some $900 plus mattresses i've recently had

I only weigh 170 lbs so I don't know if my comments apply for 200 lbs. The mattress is surprisingly firm; it feels as if it should be adequate for 200 lbs. After I first get into bed it takes a minute or two for the mattress to conform and reach maximum comfort. Unfortunately, if I change position, it also takes a minute or two for the mattress to reform. This is my only complaint. As a result, I don't change position very often and have learned to sleep mostly on my back. Fortunately I now sleep better than I did with my previous mattress. My mattress is now 4 years old and has not developed any lumps or suffered any degradation. The mattress may not be perfect, but it is easy to live with.

Without adding to the answers already given, we have the mattress on a firm bed and find it is just right (Guest bedroom). We have had several positive comments on it from guests.

I think it is pretty firm - but I like softer mattresses. My wife thinks it is more on the soft side - but she like her mattress more firm. So this is a pretty subjective matter. I can say, thought, that I've slept on hotel mattresses that were WAY more firm, if that helps. We both sleep pretty well on this mattress, so I guess it's a good compromise.

On my Signature Sleep mattress, you would need to be about 300 lbs. to approach HALF that experience. I'm 170 and I find the mattress quite firm, but amazingly comfortable at the same time. You see the "tilt" in the reviews there. That purchase is easy!

I would agree with the medium-soft to soft. My 11 year old daughter loves it (and I was concerned from going to pillow top mattress to this, she might think it was too hard). SHE LOVES IT!!!!! It is quite comfortable. Good luck!

I like this bed. After a year I have had no problems. But I have a foam mattress and am considering a getting a new mattress which may be heavier. I'd like to know if anyone has had problem with a heavier mattress.

It's not nearly as firm as I thought it was going to be. I also have a King and Queen from another company on Amazon which were advertised as firm and definitely lived up to that description. Anyways, my point is, if firm is what you're looking for then you won't find it with this mattress. You'll "sink" into this one and that's probably not what you want.

I don't know how to provide a judgement on "how soft is this mattress", since "soft" is a subjective evaluation based on personal taste. I can tell you that we're happy with it, we find it both comfortable and supportive without creating any pressure spots. We're happy with it.

It's a great bed and excellent for my bad back I got a 4 and it's firm enough for me...my boyfriend weighs about 200lbs and he loves it too ...if you really want firm maybe go lower...3 or even 2...hope I helped

it's pretty firm - but it's memory foam - so you sink in a little. i really like mine, and i generally like a firmer mattress.

I suffer from arthritis of the hip, some people like the mattresses a little bit softer, I'd say this one is between soft and firm, but to my peace of mind, all the pain I used to sleep and wake up with has gone away since I started sleeping on it. I really hope you can find it as relieving as I have. Good luck!
