I've had this bed in a king for about two years now. Previously had a queen size TN original (still have it in spare bedroom). The mint is a really nice quality bed. Two years of two adults sleeping on it nightly, and I'd say zero impact to the firmness or shape. I was really hoping it would "break in" and soften up a bit; it didn't. I much prefer the TN original, and still sleep on it if I wake up and can't sleep on the mint. Unless you want a pretty firm bed, I'd recommend the original mattress- cheaper and more comfortable. For reference, I'm about 6'0" and 190 lbs, my partner is about 5'5" and 130 lbs. We are both side sleepers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was expecting the bed to be softer. I have spinal issues that result in pain when sleeping on a firm mattress. I've slept on the T&N Mint mattress for 45 days, so I am still hopeful that my body will adjust to this mattress and enable me to sleep without pain.

It is 2 am and no sleeping on this mattress. We have had it for a year -- I was hoping - perhaps - it would break in. It is way, way too firm. I might as well be sleeping on a sack.

I thought I had a great bed but this one is wonderful! For me it is a combination of firm and soft, I sink right in, but my back and shoulders are supported. Wish I would have purchased it sooner.
With an injured back, you will love this mattress.

This is my second king mattress from here. My wife and i love it. So much that i moved my old mattress to a family vacation home rather than to get rid of it. As someone who has a injured back and went through surgery for it, this mattress has been a God send.
