Still trying to like it

I thought I was going to love it. Turns out, I only like it (I think). I still have significant back aches while sleeping, which is why we bought a new mattress. I'm reconsidering if this was really the best choice. Jury still out for now.
Mattress shopping sucks. I live in a rural location, so I can't go to a shop and sample mattresses. Even if I lived in my old cities of DC and/or Austin I'd avoid the mattress store solely so I wouldn't have to deal with aggressive sales people. That said, this was a blind purchase.
After a few days of reviewing, I took the dive and bought our queen size ghost bed.
So far, so great. It was easy to unpack. It expanded immediately without any odor/off-gassing. It was a touch soft the first night, but after a full 24 hours it struck the sweet balance of being the firm mattress my body needs and the plush side that feels oh-so-sweet when you crawl into bed. As a side sleeper, I love it. I used to wake up 4 or 5 times a night and turn from one side to the next. Not any more!
We purchased this as a guest bed. We have several family members with back problems and requested a much firmer bed. These are people who prefer the floor to most mattress. After research, I chose this bed due to it's reviews from those with back pain and its great return policy. This bed is a little too firm for my liking but our relatives do find it to be much better that the firm traditional mattress it replaced. No complaints about overheating even in our hot summers.
I have only slept on my new mattress for 5 nights. I purchased the bed based on a recommendation from a friend who had lower back pain before sleeping on their ghostbed. My lower back is still sore, but I am sure I just need to adjust. I purchased a queen, but it does feel small than a queen. Overall, all is good thus far.
This is a great value. I've purchased more expensive mattresses in the past, but this maybe the best mattress I have ever owned. It gives me great support, yet it's not too firm. I highly recommend the ghostbed!
