Under 30 days in, no more than three to five hours of sleep a night; it feels comfortable but almost pushes back, and most pillows go flat on top of it, including cervical and luxury ones.

Combination sleeper who found the Helix Midnight Luxe still too firm for side sleeping after 40+ nights, with shoulder and hip pressure, and is starting a return.

Bought the queen Original about two and a half years ago. I'm 6'1, around 200 lb, and I switch between my back and my side all night. The first year I honestly had no complaints. Medium feel, and the top layer pushes back a little so you don't sink and get stuck. It sits on a slatted frame and we rotate it every few months like they say. Still, there's now a dip where my hips go, and I wake up with a stiff lower back unless I roll over onto my wife's half. Mornings I perch on the side of the bed to get dressed and the foam just collapses there. In summer it holds heat too, the covers are off by 2am.

We got the Casper Original a little over two years ago to replace an old innerspring that was wrecking my lower back. I flip between back and stomach most nights and I run warm. The first year was really good. It feels medium, a bit plush on top but you don't sink in like an all memory foam bed, and my husband rolling over doesn't wake me. Year two is where it went so-so. There's a softer patch where my hips go now, and on stomach nights I wake up with my lower back arched. It also holds heat in summer more than I'd like, we ended up adding a cooling pad. The edge is fine for sitting to put socks on but I wouldn't sleep right on it. For a lighter side sleeper I think it's a nice bed. For me it was fine, not more.

They swapped to this mattress, which was good until about 90 days, then became too soft, and they returned it.

Me 250 lb, wife about 140, queen. First couple months it was great, the quilted top is soft and the coils kept my back straight. By the end of year one there was a dip on my side you can see with the sheets off. I sleep hot anyway and this doesn't help, the top layers hold heat. Sit on the edge to put socks on and it squashes way down. When my wife rolls over I feel it. Lifetime warranty sounds nice but I've had to measure the dip and send pics and we're still going back and forth. If you're a big guy look at something firmer.

Got the Classic in the luxury firm and I'm a side sleeper, which was probably my mistake. Shoulders and hips just had nowhere to sink, and I woke up with a sore lower back most mornings for about 2 months. It does sleep cooler than my old foam bed, and the build feels solid. Ended up using the return window. Would try the plush if I ever gave it another go

Retired last year and finally replaced the 15 year old spring mattress that had a permanent dip on my side. Bought the Casper Original about 8 months ago. I'm a side sleeper, around 180 lb, and my shoulder and hip stopped aching in the mornings, which was the whole reason I bought it. It is not too soft and not too firm, just right for me, and I haven't noticed it sleeping warm at all. My wife and I both sleep on it with no complaints so far, and I don't feel her moving around. No sagging yet, but it's only been 8 months so I can't speak for year 4 like some folks on the forums. Delivery in a box was easier than I feared, it did smell a little for the first day. Very happy overall.

Overall liked, but it is like sleeping in a furnace; even with the mattress protector removed, CoolShift sheets and no covers in a tank top, they are still sweating.

They use a Tempur-pedic Pro Adapt Medium Hybrid with an adjustable base and have had no back issues, calling it a good blend of coil and foam support.

Two weeks in the Latex Hybrid doesn't sink and is not too soft or firm, though some middle back stiffness remains while it breaks in

Replaced within 1.5 years because the foam broke down and the zones gave no hip or shoulder support despite a good foundation and protector

A regular Estate slept on for six years is amazing.

On an adjustable frame there is a lot to like and they love the mattress otherwise, but their back hurts at times and their girlfriend complains too; chosen as the firmest option after spinal fusion surgery, it still seems a bit too soft.

Owns the Classic Luxury Firm and finds it too firm at about 8 of 10, though well constructed with strong edge support, but lacking cushioning.

Loving the queen firm model since buying it in August as a first-time buyer; it supports the back and neck of a 290-pound back sleeper, with some concern about long-term support at that weight.

Bought a queen Medium LuxeAdapt Hybrid and after almost two months still wakes up tossing and turning, wondering about the long break-in.

Two weeks at home on the latex hybrid have been good after the Classic firm felt too firm and the Classic soft lacked hip support. Low-back support was perfect from day one, the shoulders are softening during the 14 to 21 day break-in, and a partner's movement isn't felt.

Classic firm with an organic cotton pad was the first bed in a decade that did not feel like a heating pad at night after trying Casper, Helix, Purple, Beautyrest, Tempur, Layla and Nectar.

Feels like a 9.5 out of 10 in firmness versus about a 5 for the store model, like sleeping on a rock; a side sleeper could not sleep at all the first night because of hip and shoulder pain.

Arrived way more aggressively firm than the showroom floor model, though customer service quickly sent out a free plush topper after week one that made it feel great.
