Good quality but not comfortable for us

I give the iComfort CF 1000 Medium mattress a "3" because it is well-made and sturdy and will probably last for years. I have no problem with the quality of the product. But my husband and I are basically using this mattress as a glorified boxspring now because to our bodies it is as hard as a brick! I have learned that bedding is an incredibly individualized experience, so I'm not suggesting our story will be true for everyone. But I am sharing this in case some other people like us can be better informed.
I am 5' 3" and 125 lbs. and my husband is 6' and 220 lbs. This Medium mattress was recommended as something that would be soft enough for me but firm enough for him. WRONG. We have had it for nearly 4 months, and it has been a painful 4 months. Initially, we tried to give it time, to let the memory foam adjust to our bodies, and my husband thought it would work OK for him. But over time he developed extreme hip and lower leg pain -- to the point that he went to the doctor, fearing he had circulatory problems. From day one, the mattress felt like sleeping on a board for me. I had so much hip pain that I added a 2" memory foam topper to my side of the bed to make it minimally workable, though I still got up every morning with general aches and pains, particularly in my hips. My husband eventually added the 2" topper to his side, too, making it a little better for him. But we were NOT feeling good. We felt like we were aging fast. And we were NOT happy with the memory foam feel.
We were about to give up entirely, donate the mattress, and start from scratch, but we decided to try one more thing after reading about latex mattress toppers to soften and transform the feel of a mattress. We ordered a 3" soft natural latex topper and put it on top of the 2" memory foam topper we already had on the bed. EUREKA! We slept like babies. The latex has the soft give along with just the right amount of support on pressure points. For the first time in four months, we woke up without pain. So, as I said earlier, the iComfort mattress in now our hard-as-a-brick boxspring, with the memory foam and latex toppers being our mattress.
Bottom line: As far as we're concerned, natural latex is the way to go. The next time we purchase a mattress, it will be latex. Period. Lesson learned.
