Here we have a futon hybrid in a world of its own. You've got 5" of Reflex foam on the bottom as a support base to always provide solid support consistently through out the core of the mattress. Reflex foam is firm to sleep on yet has a medium firm sitting surface. But now we top the core of that foam once again with 3" of visco-elastic memory foam. No more pressure points while sleeping and no more body displacement with the hip and shoulders. Nice and even support and with the memory foam you've got state of the art contouring to your bodies natural curves. This works together to keep the head, torso, hips, and heels in line no matter what your preferred sleeping position. Good night and sweet dreams on this one.
