Great for my back, a little firm for my pregnant hips
We went with the firmest mattress for my husbands sake, and I do best on a firm mattress too. However, I’m now pregnant and have to sleep on my sides. The mattress is a little too firm for larger hipped people who prefer to sleep on their sides. Overall still very happy with it though. We both experienced back pain from our old mattress but this mattress has eliminated that problem for both of us. We are definitely happy with it. But if you’re a side sleeper, probably best to choose one slightly less firm.

Thank you so much for sharing this. That totally makes sense, firmness can feel very different once you switch to side sleeping, especially during pregnancy. We’re really glad to hear it’s helped with your back pain overall. If you ever want a little more pressure relief at the shoulders and hips, a slightly softer option or even a topper can make a big difference without needing to replace the whole mattress.
