The mattress is very supportive, yet giving so it doesn't hurt my hips and shoulders. I have had a lot of back pain recently and this mattress has helped reduce that tremendously. It's very comfortable. I am very thankful and very pleased. Only thing is that it's a lot warmer than I thought it would be. I tend to sleep with a lot of flannel to stay warm. I was sweating in the middle of the night. I adjusted my sheets so now I sleep very comfortably. And this mattress is saving me a little bit of money on the heating bill (lol). Excellent product. I am grateful it's so affordable.
