Initially thought that this mattress would be too soft, but quickly discovered that it was just the right amount of firmness. On my previous traditional mattress, was unable to lay on my back for any extended period. But with the douglas, I now find that I fall asleep in that position. Also, pressure points are no longer an issue. As to whether it is any better than competitors, I cant answer that. What I can say however, is that after extensive research, the Douglas is a much better value proposition, in that it sells for between $300-400 less than comparable memory foam mattresses. Getting good value is always my goal, and the Douglas has so far delivered that.
