This is best mattress I have ever owned! I bought it for my bedroom and it is amazing, it feels like I am sleeping on a huge cloud. This is my third memory foam mattress. I previously had a medium firmness one before purchasing the soft firmness one... and I was a little concerned that it would be too soft, but it isn't, its just perfect. Its extremely thick and I use the deep pocketed sheets for mattresses up to 18" with it. It does not need a boxspring, and I bought a platform bed to go with it from Baxton studios. Highly recommend!!
