This was the most firm of all the foam mattresses I laid on. I am pleased with my choice so far and recommend you go lay on this mattress if you prefer a firm one. The salesman was telling me that several of these companies have bought out each other, so they are all about the same manufacturer now. Who is commenting? The company that makes the mattress? The competing company? Disgruntled employees? I am just an ordinary consumer that needed to replace his 25 year old box spring mattress. These reviews of all kinds of mattresses are so frustrating. I did not buy this mattress from Amazon, but decided I would comment on it here after I did buy it. They smelled a bit for a few days, but it gradually went away. I didn't have any odor at all, so I'm not sure where that is coming from? I bought 2 of the Optimum pillows which I slept on before my mattress was delivered. The mattress and the box spring were both in plastic when the delivery people unpacked them and installed them in my bed frame. I have also read comments about this mattress having a odor when delivered. Will have to come back on in a few months or a year and comment on how well the mattress is wearing. I have slept just fine for the past week and no complaints of back pain or any pain in the AM. When I laid on any box spring, I would immediately notice a pressure point on my hip and my shoulder. The biggest thing you will notice with a foam mattress is you won't feel any pressure points like a box spring. I haven't noticed any problem with sleeping hot. The salesmen explained to me that the initial Optimum mattresses didn't have enough cooling gel and they have added more and it has resolved that complaint. This mattress does not sleep hot in any way shape or form. I was concerned about comments about them sleeping hot. I had no intentions of getting a foam mattress when I went shopping. I've only had this mattress for a week, so my review is an early one. They got softer and more expensive as I went up the line. I laid on all 4 of them as they were side-by-side. It is the most firm of the 3 Optimum model mattresses. Both times I gravitated to this mattress. I went to 2 separate mattress retailers and laid on every mattress on their showroom floor. I prefer a firm mattress and have only slept on box springs my whole life. Wasn't intending to get a foam matress, but. Overall construction was good but felt like this was for a lighter, cooler person. The bed felt as warm or a bit warmer as a spring mattress with a topper on it but a lot less hotter than a memory foam without gel. My fiance is a belly sleeper and the softening would cause her minor back aches but she had liked the softness and comfort too. I noticed though before my back would be unsupported I would sleep deeper and easier. Around 3-4hrs in I would feel my back slowly be unsupported and I would bottom out to the foam base layer due to my weight and the heat I put off would cause it to soften. It was soft enough to be comfortable and fall asleep in easily. I spent a month in the bed to give it a chance but ultimately had to take it back. First off I'm a bigger guy who is a furnace in bed with lower back probIems. I bought this bed from another place and thought I would give it another review to help others out. Soft bed, very comfortable but not for me I get a good night's sleep and wake with no stiffness or aches. after putting a good quilted mattress cover on, it added just the amount of plush and squish I love. It's not hard by any means, in fact it's quite comfortable and very good for my husband's back, he likes it a little firmer than I. It's a little firmer than I would like it to be. Very comfortable, everything Consumer Reports said it would be. I returned to the website and their were no reviews but I searched some other mattresses with the same features and price points and discovered that it would, when unfolded, rise to it's full 12 inches and it did indeed have cloth covered coils (innersprings). I attempted to return it before opening it, but realized how expensive shipping would be. When I first received this mattress, in a square box, I was soooo disappointed and upset. The deciding factor was the recommendation of Consumer Reports. I did a lot of research before buying this mattress. It really is a top quality innerspring mattress.
