Well, our choice was Firm, and it is. It feels like a bench when you first sit on it, but in a few seconds you sink in just enough to be cradled. A perfect balance of 'no saggy spots' and 'no pressure on shoulders, hips, or knees. The other treat is that when either I or my wife get up (in the night) or first out of bed, the mattress does not move/jiggle. You don't know the other has gone - and you just keep sleeping. Our previous mattresses were top quality, but with springs. This one doesn't flex like that - which is great.

I have only had the mattress just under a month, but I am enjoying it greatly. At first, it took some time to get use to the firmness and how it molded around my body as I slept. After a few nights I really appreciate the comfort it provides and how it has helped with my back issues. The product is of the highest quality and sometimes you have to realize that you have to pay a little more for something that will help you as it has myself. It is worth the money to be able to sleep and not wake up stiff and sore. I would highly recommend this mattress to anyone with back problems.

So far my initial thoughts on this mattress is it's just OK nothing special. Maybe my expectations were set to high based on the price and commercials? I'm assuming I'm still getting use to it and hopefully I will grow to love it like a lot of reviewers have. I can attest to the quality though no issues at all with that!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been a fan of Tempurpedic for over a decade now. They still haven't failed to impress me. Best money I've ever spent was on a good sleep from these fellas. My back doesn't hurt, my hips don't hurt, my shoulders don't fall asleep, and my wife is happy. Happy wife, happy life!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We ordered the split king with two extra long singles and it has been wonderful! I now do not feel my wiggle worm husband move around all night or getting in and out of bed. The edges are firm so you don't feel like you're sliding out the edge of the bed when getting out. The two mattresses stay in place with no problems. There is a split between the mattresses but barely noticeable. It is a little more effort to make but only because we have separate twin sheets so wiggle worm doesn't pull mine off all night. Be are both stomach sleepers so the firm mattress supports us in that position. Best night sleep I've gotten in years other than moving to another room when he kept waking me up! Make sure you try out firmness levels at a local store if you're ordering online.

Bed is pretty hard and then it sinks in at all pressure points and it's hard to crawl out of the holes. The sheets always pull off during the night. I always wake up with a back that is hurting and this is why I bought it to start with. I am hoping it gets better with age? Can't sit on the edge of the mattress without sliding off of it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the right kind of mattress for individuals with chronic back pain. The mattress provides great support to your back as it does not sink even when you're laying on the same spot for a long time. This is the kind of firm mattress that I've been looking for.

I was experiencing sciatica pain so severe that I couldn't get comfortable when I laid down to sleep at night. I tossed and turned trying to find a comfortable position, disturbing my husband's rest as well. My old Tempur-pedic needed to be replaced, I thought. The first night on the new mattress proved me right, I went right to sleep with no problems finding that a comfortable position. While I still have some sciatica issues during the day, I know when I lay down I will be comfortable. We chose this mattress over the cooling versions because what I loved about the old one was the way it kept me warm. This one is just the same, warm and supportive. It certainly changed my life for the better!

After 20+ years on a Sealy Perfect Sleeper bed set, my first Tempur-Pedic has performed beyond expectation! Initially thought to be "too firm" the mattress has adjusted my posture alignment and I have longer rest periods as I also tend to awaken less during sleep periods. I am an avid marathoner and I notice aches and tender spots I might go to bed with appear to be gone when I awaken. I am so glad I finally purchased this bed set and look forward to comfortable blissful rests on it.

I had a 22 year old Tempur pedic mattress and for about a year I was waking up with a back ache. It goes away after I start moving around. I thought I should get a new mattress. It is a very hard decision to make when you pick out a mattress. I'm still not convinced that I have made the right choice and I still don't know if I should return it. I still wake up with pain, but it's not as bad. I have no pain while I sleep and no pain during the day after the pain goes away in the morning.
