Is this mattress good for side sleepers?

Usually not. It is very firm with little cushioning, so side sleepers often feel pressure at the shoulder and hip. A softer topper helps.

Does it need a box spring?

It works on a box spring, a slatted frame or a platform bed. Use a sturdy foundation with slats no more than a few inches apart to protect the coils.

It sleeps cooler and feels more supportive and bouncy. Foam conforms more and relieves pressure better, but can feel hot and sink in.

The top layer softens slightly in the first weeks, but the firm core stays firm. Do not expect it to become a medium mattress.

Use deep-pocket sheets made for mattresses 14 to 16 inches thick. Standard sheets may pull off the corners.

Yes. A 14-inch full innerspring is heavy and floppy, so two people should rotate or move it.
