It's a very nice mattress, good support too , it took me about 2 weeks to get used to as I have spinal arthritis other issues with my whole spine ( neck included ) but I think I,m pretty much used to it now, if you have back problems, a firm mattress is the way to go this one,for me anyway is lovely, pocket sprung mattresses also seem to have better support because each spring is in its own pocket will move independently, so will move with you when you roll over etc . Love the little crowns on the handles too, nice touch . I would give this mattress a rating of 8.5 to 9 out of 10.
