Oh my gosh, this mattress is truly the perfect firmness. I like them firm, he likes them soft, we are both happy. This is truly a lifesaver, and a relationship saver. Best investment we have ever made. Definitely better than we could have ever expected.

Not at all I have this bed bought it because my Dr. Recommended it for the pressure relief. you can check the firmness of the memory foam by the density listed in the description. it ranges from 3lbs to 9 lbs..3 is softest 9 is the firmest. I still recommend the mattress because the 3 inches of support mem foam under the first 3in of mem foam

The mattress is definitely not too firm. We find it supportive without feeling rigid. It is a much more inviting sleep surface than the older tempurpedic mattresses. It welcomes your body shape and supports areas that need to be supported without being hard.

Yes. Very firm until you break it in. Takes about a week. Sleeps very well. Medium firmness

I'd say medium firmness to firm. Not super firm though. This is my first foam mattress. I LOVE it. It has give, along with support, that I have never gotten from a coil spring mattress. I had back surgery over 20 years ago and have ongoing chronic back and shoulder pain. For the first time in as long as I can remember, I can sleep through the night without pain and wake up feeling refreshed. Particularly when you compare the cost of this mattress to a Tempurpedic, I don't see how you can go wrong.

I would definitely say it's a medium in firmness. When you sit on it or lay on it it's a bit firm but then you immediately feel it forming to your body

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.

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 purchased this matress for use in my RV. I had previously purchased a 3" foam mattress for the RV and I felt like I was bottoming out so a thicker one was definitely the answer. I have a tempurpedic foam mattress in my bedroom. I would say that this matress is more firm then the tempurpedic but not enough that it effects my sleep.

I wouldn't say its overly firm or overly soft. It molds around the pressure spots just right. Very comfortable. Made a cheap mattress feel almost as good as my sleep number bed.

This is not a soft cushy memory foam mattress. At best it is medium firm and o love it. My wife is arthritic and prefers one a little softer. This is a wonderful mattress.

Go around to some mattress shops in your town and try them out. Especially the memory foam and latex ones, and make notes of the ones you like. If you have the names of the models of national brands that you like, you'll be able to give Chuck a better idea of what you like. I personally said pretty much the same as you and probably would have picked an 8 going in cold. I went to a Tempurpedic shop and tried out the mattresses and realized I wanted one just a little bit firmer, so when I corresponded with Chuck I picked a 7, and I'm very happy with it. But you're the only who can decide.

I'm sorry, but it is a kinda firm mattress. Its a good one but Yea a Lil hard. I did hear it gets a Lil softer if its in a warmer climate but I'm in Fl and I keep it in the 70's in the house and its still a link firm. I would say if its not working for u then do like I did, I gave mine to my daughter and bought a pillow top mattress that was much softer which I did on Amazon. It was The 12' Pillow top Signature Sleep Mattress and I now Love. A huge difference. I hope this helps

I tried a Rhapsody in a store that sold Tempurpedic and then bought a queen size memory foam bed from Atlantic Bed that they claimed was medium firm and compared to the rhapsody. Very good bed and we think very similar. Then we bought the king from foammattressdiscounts and think it is more of a medium than medium firm. You sink in deeper before it firms up. Do I like this King? For the money hard to beat and very comfortable. Only thing I don't like about it is it develops an aggravating wrinkle in the cover where your body sinks in the most after sleeping on it a week or so. The wrinkle can be pulled out, but comes right back.

very firm , I like plush / medium soft My wife like hard , and this was even slightly firm for her for the 1rst week , it does break in and even I can sleep on it . I use a 1, maybe 2" gel topper for more comfort/ softness (I like my ribs and hips to sink in so my spine is strait since I am a side sleeper I weigh 165 my wife 160 so if your heavier it may be just right if your lighter then 165lbs then this will be to firm unless you like a firm almost very firm mattress . It is zero gravity when just laying on your back it does give you a floating sensation and is very relaxing ...

have only had the the mattress a week. i was expecting firm and i find it to be more a medium. this was the reason i purchased the cool gel mattress and yes, it is too hot.

Gel foam is more firm (less sinky) and supposedly cooler sleeping. I dont think you want this mattress less sinky, because it already does not sink link a tempurpedic. I never noticed any heat build up in the foam, but i have a mattress pad on it. So that is about it, except the obvious answer, which is....$100.00

We love ours, which is queen size. Not at all hot to sleep on in summer - and this from a menopausal woman. It has given new life to our mattress and made us happy campers. Previously, my husband liked our mattress but it seemed too hard to me. This gives a "firm softness" to it which pleases both of us.

Definitely firmer than a memory foam mattress. I am not a fan of memory foam as I constantly feel like I am sinking into the mattress. The tuft and needle 10 that we bought is definitely more firm. We prefer firmer mattresses and have been very happy with our purchase. I'd give it a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 of firmness.

well, when my husband and i first laid down, it was awesome! and it was great when lying on my back and watching tv....but i think it was just too soft, BUT - that being said, we have a tempurpedic mattress already. so i think if it was on a regular mattress, it would have been perfect - but the mushy top with the mushy tempurpedic just didn't work.

It is very comfortable however it may not be firm enough for your liking. I would agree with the others who say it is "medium to soft." If you can check one out in a store first, you could "con-firm" if it is firm enough for your liking:-)

I had this mattress for 2yrs & it worked great until I became pregnant. Then the mattress felt too soft & not enough support. My body changed permanently after birth so I had to buy the tempurpedic (the firmest model) which is much more comfortable & therefore worth the price. Guess it just depends on how much support you need.
