I have already recommended the mattress to two friends, and I'm not done yet. After I unwrapped the mattress and it attained its shape, I sat on it and was initially disappointed. There didn't seem to be any firmness to it at all. Then I laid down fully on it and immediately fell in love with it. I was literally floating. Before getting this mattress I was having trouble getting more than five or six hours of sleep each night because of aching hips. The very first night on the mattress I got a solid ten-and-a-half hours, with no aches or pains. This experience has continued for over two weeks now with no middle of the night interruptions. We have had our first heat wave of the (not quite yet) summer and I stayed comfortably cool while sleeping on this cloud of foam. Needless to say, I will be recommending the Tuft & Needle mattress to more people.
