The 17-inch Firm Euro Pillow Top felt good initially, but grew uncomfortable and stayed too firm over time even after modifying the top layers and adding toppers.
The Reserve pillow top firm is a tiny bit too firm for this side sleeper but slowly breaking in and very substantial
Even after a 30-day break-in, the Pillowtop Soft still felt firm rather than plush and the tufted buttons poked through a mattress pad, leading to a return.
The firm pillow top was sold as a medium but gives hip, shoulder and knee pain, so it is being returned
