[TMI]  
It is a little bit more difficult, especially when changing positions. You don’t get the same leverage or momentum when rolling about. And, if you’re giving off a lot of body heat, it makes it a little extra squishy.

The best bed is mine. 😃 Lady Dopers should feel free to come and verify this. 😃

I have a Select Comfort mattress (sleep number) and I love it. Actually, I’m on my second one - the old one is now in the guest bedroom.

I tried a Temperpedic and hated it. It was like a marble slab.
