Firmness info	While we designed the Bear Mattress to have a solid core support with a nice touch of softness on top for comfort, we would categorize the mattress as a medium-firm. Certain independent reviews for comparison on mattress firmness rate the Bear Mattress a 7.1 on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most firm.	Targeted, edge-to-edge support for all sleeping styles and body types. It's slightly softer than Leesa's other mattresses but will appeal to most sleepers. Still backed by Leesa's 100-night trial.
