Does the firmness die down? I'm so sad, after all these amazing reviews I got the bed, and have been sleeping on it for 4 days and its so hard!? HELP!

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 have two of these mattresses, liked the first one so much I ordered a second for our guest bedroom. Have slept on my first purchase since July (4 months) and it is still firm, though I do not find it uncomfortably so; it does take some getting used to...

It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain. I used to get a platform made of several pieces of hard wood and put a comforter (made of cotton) on it. That was very firm and sometimes can be a little bit uncomfortable. This one is thick with good balance between softness and firmness. When it came, it was a little bit too puffy that I thought. But it gets better after some days. It is stuffed with cottons and very heavy. I'm satisfied with the quality of this mattress and would recommend to anyone who is looking for a mattress that is good to your back. So far, this is my favorite mattress. It's not soft as normal mattress. That's the reason I got this one. I had been searching for a mattress that is firm enough to relieve my back pain.

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 only slept on it a couple of times, but it's definitely more firm than soft. Hope that helps.

I think the shock of first laying on it is that it is very firm, but your body just slowly nestles into it. We have had ours a couple of months and it is still very firm when first sitting or laying down, but it has settled a bit after the first few weeks. Give it some more time, both for the mattress and your body to adjust to the difference. We are very happy with ours, but it did take some adjustment time, after being used to an old spring/coil mattress.

It's fairly firm, I would recommend you go down to a mattress store and lay down on one of their memory foam mattresses. That is the firmness of that type of mattress.

For me, the mattress is firm. It is the most comfortable I have ever had. I feel that I can really stretch out and give my spine a chance to stretch out. In the short time I have had it, I feel as if my posture is improving. Descriptions have different meanings for all people, but in my book it is firm, not extra firm. I don't think I could sleep on an extra firm mattress. Hope this helps.

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.

my pillow was firm not hard. It was much firmer that a regular pillow. I have been sleeping on it for abouta month and with the exception of me wanting it to be longer I don't have any other problems

Im 235 and its too soft for me. I just sold mine for $100 because my back started to hurt. I tried to contact customer service first, but they won't do anything for you until the mattress starts to sag over 1". I did purchase a great mattress from Costco thought, being Costco, I can return/exchange it at any time for any reason. Its a firm luxury and I am sleeping well now. My wife is 125, she was fine with the Lucid.

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've used it for 2 weeks so far and it took a little getting used to. I like a very firm bed and it can do this if you blow it up enough. I also used a high quality mattress protector to add comfort.

I've had mine for only a couple of months now but it's very firm which I figured a low end mattress would lose the firmness faster so ill deal with it until then. Its comfy but stiff. And it is not foamy has a little spring bounce. For the price I'm happy. Back has started to feel better since I got it. My okd one was a soft thin cheap pillow top that sunk in two years

I've only had mine for about two months and I haven't noticed it getting any softer. I knew it was a 'medium' soft when I bought it but it is a little more firm than I had anticipated.

We thought the same thing. I could not possibly sleep on it! This foam is so very, very hard. I advise against it for a bed.

I guess I'd say "firm"; the coils cannot be felt at all. That being said, we have found that the bed has "center-sagged" after less than three months. To be fair, both my wife and I are large people, with a combined weight of close to 700#. For the money we spent, the mattress was a decent purchase, but we would definitely spend much more in order to get a bed that can stand up to the extra weight load over a long period of time.

We haven't actually used this yet. I bought it to replace one (not same brand) that I disposed of. The other one I had "looked" just like this. I blew it up after I rec'd it and it seemed pretty firm. My husband and I slept on the other one I had (combined weight 345 or so) & slept very comfortably. I know this probably wasn't much help & maybe you can get better answers from someone else. I do love the pump, just plug it in & airs up pretty quickly & same with deflating. I actually got it back in the bag it came in. Good luck!!
