I had never bought a new mattress before; I'd always had them secondhand. So I had no idea what kind of firmness I'd need and picked Medium. I chose this brand because the warranty goes up to 350lb unlike other brands. I have gotten as big as 345. After a year the mattress itself is still in great shape.
Unfortunately I still wake up daily with crippling back pain. Exercise helps, and my obesity is not the mattress company's fault, but I can tell you one thing: at 6'2, 345, Medium is NOT the right choice.

Thomas, you chose medium but we make firmer, why knock us with a one star review when you have a lifetime comfort guarantee? We would simply swap it out for a firmer model. Give us a call, let's see what we can do for you.
After doing hours and HOURS of research on mattresses, the Alexander Hybrid felt like a solid choice. I went with a Medium because I have typically done well with a middle stiffness mattress. But sleeping on my back has proven to be a bit unsustainable. I'm a guy with a butt, not a big butt, but I have a butt (5'10" 180, fairly lean). The medium mattress doesn't let my butt sink in enough and the mattress does not come up to support my lower back. I specifically was mattress shopping because of my lower back and my chiropractor said sleeping on my back will be better for my neck alignment issues. But alas, it's not comfy enough to stay put on my back all night. I always wake up on my side or stomach.
Other than that issue, the mattress is very nice and I really appreciate the quality and design.

I have slept in this bed a few times and got a good night sleep. Your company graciously gave me the mattress for my Airbnb and my guests love it. Thanks so much!

I want to love this bed wholeheartedly, but I'm not quite there. 2 people over 200lbs and there are ruts where we sleep. We turn the mattress every direction and rotate it, but it's worn in where we lay regardless. We've only had the mattress a year and a half and I know my husband wants to look for a new one.

When we first got the bed, we were a little nervous because our backs were very sore. But the ladies at the store told us we might feel some discomfort for the first week or two while our bodies adjusted to the mattress. They were right. We're both sleeping so much better than we did with our previous mattress. It provides really good support and makes it easy to fall asleep.

"Nest-ie Is My New Best-ie" Nest Alexander Hybrid Mattress
I never ever “dreamed” I would buy a mattress-in-a-box. And now, “Nest-ie is my new Best-ie”!
Thirty something years ago when I bought my first, and only, mattress, I never researched, much less tested anything. And never ever had a moments problem with it. This time, I researched and tested so many different mattresses I got mattress paralysis!
And then I discovered the Holy Mattress Grail – GoodBed. GoodBed educated me in all-things-mattress; and most importantly led me to Nest, who introduced me to the next (Nest) level in a good night’s sleep.
And, it was pretty much love at first sight!
The Alexander Firm Hybrid mattress had/has everything I was looking for - perfect firmness (and I am a tiny side sleeper - go figure), perfect height, perfectly beautiful quality/materials, and like everyone says, outstanding customer service.
I truly love all things Nest - their impeccable vision, philosophy, and top of the line beautiful sleep products. Their cooling mattress protector didn’t work for me and they immediately swapped it for the Sleep & Beyond wool protector which has really made a difference.
So thank you thank you thank you GoodBed and Nest for giving me the-best-sleep-ever!
Sweet Dreams xoxoxo

We have 3 Nest mattresses in our home...my husband and my bed, our guest room and our son's crib mattress. We absolutely love our Nest mattresses, and if ever we need another mattress, Nest is where we'll go. (Bonus that the people are also awesome, and a pleasure to deal with!)
