The mattress seems to have the perfect firmness. I can't even feel that the mattress is there, which is a good sign. I am perfectly happy that I went with the Mint mattress!
So far I've been very satisfied with the mint mattress. With some mattresses I've slept on, I wake up with my hips or my back hurting, so I'm sure they weren't giving me the support I was needing. I'm a big girl and having the extra support while not being too firm is important for me. I definitely didn't want memory foam and so many mattresses out there have memory foam. Not to mention that I always sleep hot, so I wanted to try a mattress with the cooling technology. At first, I wasn't sure I wanted to spend the extra money on the mint, because the original is already a great price. But I decided that, for what I was looking for, it was well worth the little extra investment. I would've paid about the same, if not more, for any of the other top rated mattresses.
Ease of delivery and getting it to my bedroom. Also so very comfortable. Best night sleep ever. I actually just recommended this to my mom and dad for their guest room.
It is too hard. I have made it much better by taking the egg crate from my memory number bed and putting it under the mattress cover. Good if you like a firm bed. Hard on older pressure points.
