I have been waking up with aches and pains the last ten years and after one night on my Tuft & Needle mattress 95% of my body pain was gone! Praise God and thank you to the guys who made this amazing, affordably priced mattress!
It would depend on how much give they'd like in a mattress. Overall I would definitely suggest the mattress but if they like it rock hard or super soft, I'd let them know it's a great balance of both.
