The bed is hard. Not extremely firm, there is some give. I think you can only use one side.

The bed is firm; yet the top temperpedic layer gives a nice little cushion; not super soft where you fall in, just a tiny bit of "give". You cannot use both sides of the mattress; it is only padded on the usable side & the "fabric" on the bottom side is not suitable for sleeping.

Best bed I've ever owned!!! Firm, but not too firm. Just get a bed cover & it is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! Best nights sleep ever. Have had it for about 5 months & it is very comfy, can't wait to go home & sleep on it tonight:-) you will not regret your purchase!

This bed is firm, but has give because it is foam. If you sit on the edge, it will give a bit. The bed forms to your body and supports all over. No you cannot use the bottom side.

I agree with the answers below. It is firm and is only one sided. We love it.

If you like a softer pillow it may not be for you. It is fairly firm, especially at first. When I first got it I only slept on it half the night for about a week until I broke it in. I would call it medium firm but not so much soft. My dad who LOVES a softer pillow hates this pillow so if you want soft this may not be the one for you. If you want firm it may not be the one for you. Like Goldie Locks found out...It was just right for me (I like medium in the middle of soft and firm)

I weigh 275lbs. I would describe it as a soft brick. You sink into it very little. This mattress is ultra firm. My wife hates it but I can sleep on it . And after a year of use I am starting to agree with my wife. It almost seems firmer than a year ago, but may just be me. I paid $400 for this but it may be time for another or a mattress topper. If you like firm, give this a try.

Mine was not firm. I bought it because my mattress was too firm and needed something soft.

The mattress isn't firm. It is on the softer. My mattress filled up pretty quickly, but didn't completely fill out the sheet for a day or so. When it was fully set, it was much thicker than expected.

It is absolutely not a firm mattress. It's medium to soft, I would say. Don't think this mattress is for you!

The pillow definitely leans more toward firm than soft. I would even call it "supportive" versus "firm." It sort of flexes with your neck/head after a few uses. My husband prefers a softer pillow and he does not like this pillow.

This mattress is quilted on both sides, one side is a tack and jump quilting which gives a little softer feel and the other side is a continuous quilt which is a firmer feel. This is how you get the 12 different levels of firmness. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you

Mine was also very firm at first. It is much softer now but firm. So yes it does get a little softer

This is not the most greatest couch to sleep on. My husband is 180 & has slept on it one night. He said "that couch is terrible!" I have since moved it in my bedroom to throw clothes on in the morning. It's super stiff & it looks like a midget couch. Everyone used to come in & ask me if the couch was super small. The picture shown makes it look way more plush than it really is. Just my thoughts... Hope it helps.

I think this would make a great bed for cuddling because of the sides. If you will put it on s hard surface though, you should replace the loose stuffing in the bottom or put the bed on something with cush. It is an attractive bed, made well. They could have done better with the bottom stuffing though.

No it can not the bottom is basically a springboard so its more of a hard wood bottom. So I wouldn't recommend sleeping on that side, but the bed is incredibly soft and supportive with the compact springs. So if you looking to save room on a bed, this is the right bed. Hopefully that helps you.

I bought one a few years ago, I would buy another in a heartbeat. Best mattress I've ever slept on. I see it's selling for the same price I paid for it, $699. I had to sell mine due to a move. I miss it every night. However, I would not consider it "firm." It is soft. I used to think firm was the way to go, but this mattress soft yet supportive. I hope this helps.

I sleep on my side and my stomach. It is firm enough but not hard for stomach sleeping. I find it comfortable. You want to make sure you let it air out before sleeping on it. We let it air out for 4 days before putting it in the bedroom, otherwise there is an odor from the mattress.

It is softer than I expected not firm at all. We have a Temperapedic and this much softer than that. I rounded the corners (electric meat knife works great) to maintain the shape of the mattress below it and bought the 10" deep fitted sheets to capture the topper and the mattress. Overall I really like this for the money. FYI The foam smell goes away in a day or so.

I took the reviews seriously and got a tall twin mattress for the top bed and a regular twin for the bottom. Since I have older teens and adults sleeping on the beds, I got regular inner spring mattresses. The top bed is very firm and the bottom bed is medium. Everyone loves the beds and the comfort. One note, with the regular mattress on the bottom, I did have to raise the height of the top bed by putting something (I used cans) under the legs. A foam mattress would probably eliminate that problem.

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.
