How long did it take for your mattress to get firm? I've had mine just under 24 hours and it feels VERY soft so far...not like my old mattress.

Mine was extremely firm for about the first 3-4 days, but I keep my house at about 62 degrees and it was about 15 degrees out when it was delivered (sat on the porch for 4 hours). From my understanding the colder it is the more firm it will be. I also weigh 225lb so firmness is probably relative to weight as well.

The mattress isn't firm. It is on the softer. My mattress filled up pretty quickly, but didn't completely fill out the sheet for a day or so. When it was fully set, it was much thicker than expected.

I only weigh 170 lbs so I don't know if my comments apply for 200 lbs. The mattress is surprisingly firm; it feels as if it should be adequate for 200 lbs. After I first get into bed it takes a minute or two for the mattress to conform and reach maximum comfort. Unfortunately, if I change position, it also takes a minute or two for the mattress to reform. This is my only complaint. As a result, I don't change position very often and have learned to sleep mostly on my back. Fortunately I now sleep better than I did with my previous mattress. My mattress is now 4 years old and has not developed any lumps or suffered any degradation. The mattress may not be perfect, but it is easy to live with.

I feel like mine has become a fair bit softer in certain spots that are more laid in. The foot end is still pretty stiff but the upper end where we normally sleep sinks in deeper than I like. We've had ours for 2 years now and flipped it once. Not over though just around so the foot end becomes the head end. I actually came to the page today to see if the warranty covers this... sadly it doesn't look like it does.

We have had our mattress for a little over 6 months and it feels great still. No noticeable sagging or anything like that. It still feels the same as the day we got it!

Mine was ok after about 8 hours. It looked to be fully decompressed by then but I also just purchased mine as a guest bed so it wasn't slept on for a few days anyway.

Hi, I have had the mattress for about a month in a guest room. I've slept on it a few nights too. It's like a marshmallow and not in a good way. I regret the purchase and find it far too soft and squishy. I wish I had purchased in-store at a local furniture shop. It was cheap and convenient, though, and I suppose for a hardly used guest room it's OK. But VERY very soft.

We haven't tested it out yet. It did come nicely packaged. It went from flat to full in 15 minutes. It didn't have an overly strong smell. First impression it felt firm and supportive. We've got a week of camping planned for the 4th of July. I'll be sure to update your question when I have a better answer. After sleeping on this mattress for 7 nights I have no regrets with our purchase. It's firm enough that you don't feel like you're sinking, and soft enough that I didn't wake up with tingling legs, sore hips, or a stiff neck, which was the norm on our old innerspring camper mattress.

It is the height/thickness of the mattress, not the firmness. Firmness depends on the layers in between, read the label carefully.

It depends upon the air pressure. The mattress can feel quite firm when fully inflated. Need a little less firm mattress...let out some air. We use it fully inflated for the best back support.

The mattress never inflated. I sent it back and ordered another from a different co. The new mattress which happened to be the same brand inflated perfect. It was a firmer mattress but like it so far

I have had mine since Halloween of 2013 and today is May 31, 2014, and it is still like I got it just yesterday. I crawl in, it feels firm, then it contours to my body. Since I bought it, I have slept so well. I rarely wake up in the middle of the night. Recommended!

It's fairly firm, I would recommend you go down to a mattress store and lay down on one of their memory foam mattresses. That is the firmness of that type of mattress.

Mine was also very firm at first. It is much softer now but firm. So yes it does get a little softer

It took few minutes to expand but it took a good 48 hours for it to feel complete and firm. My husband has a bad back so he likes firm mattresses so this has been great for him. Personally for me, I had to put my mattress topper for it to be comfy for my preference.

God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam. Only one person mentioned that the mattress was very firm and that was unfortunately after I purchased it. Damn thing kept getting harder, and I kept buying more foam toppers for comfort. Fortunately, my mom needed a new mattress and she has to have very firm. I gave her the hard 11" and ordered an 8" pressure relief memory foam and I love it. Feels so good to sleep on my side and not wake up hurting! So forget trying to "fix" that hard mattress and just get another one. You will quickly forget about the money you threw away! God love you. Same thing happened to me. I bought the 11" memory foam.

I also purchased this bed for company. We used it daily for over a week and had no problems. If it seemed low after a few days of use, we just turned the air pump on for a minute to make it firm again.

I can only tell you that my granddaughter didn't sink down into the mattress. It feels firm...maybe you got a defective mattress. I would look into that.
