After a few seconds the memory foam materials fully responded and contoured to my body, bringing me to a total of 1.75″ of sinkage while lying normally on my back. When I first lay down on this mattress, I experienced minimal sinkage. The sinkage is somewhat delayed, due to the dense layers of memory foam used in this mattress and their relatively slow responsiveness. Initially, there is not a large amount of sinkage however, after a few seconds, the sinkage increases. The hug and contour of this Tempurpedic mattress was quite nice. Most side sleepers will be better off with Tempurpedic’s Cloud Supreme or other side sleeper mattresses. On the other hand, heavier sleepers are going to be able to compress the top layers more than I did, placing them in contact with the more supportive base layers. The Tempurpedic Rhapsody Luxe will do a good job of providing deep compression support for heavier sleepers as well due to the overall thickness and thickness of the comfort layers.Ī 7-7.5 firmness is more ideal for back and stomach sleepers, and less ideal for side sleepers. Lighter weight sleepers may experience additional firmness, which could mean too much push back in certain positions, leading to an uncomfortable degree of support and potential pressure points. As a lighter to average weight sleeper (140 pounds), I was able to compress the top layer just enough so that the second layer of memory foam was able to push back against me and fully support my body weight. That said, the firmer feel may create support issues for some sleepers. While I do tend to favor my stomach, I was able to sleep on my back and sides due to the contouring support of the memory foam. During my sleeping test, I never once felt as if the mattress was creating an off-balance level of spinal alignment. This mattress did a nice job of supporting me in every position.
