We ordered this mattress after doing a ton of research on every mattress available. My husband is 510 and about 320 lbs. Im 54 and about 220 lbs 4 months post partum. I started having a lot of pain on our old mattress before I got pregnant at 190 lbs. After having our baby, it didnt get better and my husband was also in pain from sciatica and having issues with shoulder pain as well. Our old mattress was a Sealy Posturepedic and was used for about 8 years. The mattress came a lot faster than expected. We opened it and laid it out and left for the weekend. When we came home, we were surprised at how big it was. We tested out both the medium-firm and firm sides and chose the medium-firm for the time being. I will say the first week was an adjustment period, with lots of new pains as our bodies adjusted to a better, more supportive mattress. After that, no complaints really! My low back does bother me some days, but I also firmly believe thats due to my pregnancy and epidural during delivery. My husbands back pain and sciatica are MUCH better and I havent heard him complain about shoulder pain at all since we switched to this mattress. Prior, he was complaining all day every day. Weve been sleeping on this mattress for about 2 months and it has held up well this far. I take comfort knowing that if the medium-firm side gets too soft, we can always flip the mattress to get more support. If this mattress holds up for a couple of years, Id buy it again.
A sincere review from people on the heavier side
