A really great mattress, after some getting used to
My husband and I are in our mid-60's and are very active so we notice more aches and pains when we get up in the morning. We decided to try an Awara mattress. We were very pleased with how quickly it came and had no problem setting it up ourselves. Our previous mattress was a 13 year old natural latex mattress. My husband liked the softness, which had gotten pretty squishy over the years, I thought it was a little too soft. We both found it to be hot in the summer, even with a "cooling" mattress pad. I liked the Awara mattress right from the beginning. To me, it's the perfect combination of springiness, firmness and softness. My husband missed the squishiness of our old latex mattress and thought the Awara mattress was too firm. However, now, after 2 months, he notices he sleeps better on the Awara mattress and is very happy with it. We still can't comment on how hot the mattress is in the summer since we purchased it in late fall; however, we notice we don't heat up under a down quilt like we did with our latex mattress. We both would recommend this mattress; actually we did recommend it to our daughter and her husband and they purchased one!
