“It doesn’t work for side sleeping for me. I wake up in the middle of the night with low back soreness and hip pain.”— absentas on Reddit
“It’s been about 2 months now. We are mainly side sleepers, both average height and weight. She’s really enjoys the mattress, but I’m waking up in pain, tossing and turning from pressure point aches. I wanted to enjoy this mattress, but so far not a big fan.”— Mullins2 on r/Mattress
“that was one of the biggest disappointments to me about the aurora, the lack of change in temperature.”— koopa00 on r/Mattress
“I returned the mattress after having the same experience as you.”— OiWithThePoodlesOk on r/Mattress
“I ended up getting a firm Aurora and it’s dreadful.”— tianabella7 on Reddit
“Received the bed and I really dislike it. My husband can sleep on anything so he is totally fine but I feel like it has no support. The top layer is squishy, which I like (though I kind of prefer a quilted feeling) but then it feels like there is no support below it. Like I feel like we are hammocking in the bed, like it's sucking me in.”— Liv on Mattress Underground
“I (140 lb side sleeper) was not impressed in the least. I tried really hard to like it, but it felt no different than my generic pillow top and spring mattress I'm looking to replace. Actually, my 10 year old mattress felt better. I didn't feel "held," it was soft in the sense that it sank, but it felt cheap and a bit bouncy if that makes sense.”— Next-Age-9925 on r/Mattress

“I've been sleeping on this mattress now for about 2 days and so far I've been waking up with shoulder pain and I have no idea if it's the way I've been sleeping or if it's just the mattress.”— sproutin- on r/Mattress
“YES, I had this early on. It's not uncommon with this bed. I had to use my own topper for a month and walk on the top of the mattress until I could comfortably take the topper off. Now, it's a lot better.”— waroranges on r/Mattress
“Pillow top makes it softer but you still get the firm base for back sleepers”— optimuspoopprime on Reddit
“It's softer than I expected.”— absentas on Reddit
“it is pretty plush/loose”— bo-ba-fett on Reddit
