As this is my first foam mattress, I am still getting used to the way it forms around me. It returns to its original shape quickly when I get up. The bed is very soft to lay on and I have a hard time keeping the kids from trying to take it over. My one issue has been that a few nights I have still woken up overheating. To be fair, on nights like that I could see myself overheating on top of a slab of ice.
I am a hot sleeper, always on my side and usually tossing and turning. This mattress has helped me to get deeper sleep. So much so, most nights I wake up in the same position I fell asleep in! I'm a heavier person and was honestly nervous that the plus yet supportive top layer would get permanently 'dented' when I slept but I'm fairly certain I won't have to worry about that. You can feel the mattress cradle and support you. My achy hips and back are a thing of the past. Definitely recommend this, and wish I would've done it sooner!
