Response from the owner We actually have had many compliments on the comfort of the bed. It is a high end Tempurpedic mattress. But of course everyone has a different idea of what constitutes comfort for them. As with any complaints for all hosts, if the guests could discuss any issues at the beginning of their stay, then considerate hosts like ourselves can do whatever they can to make their guests enjoy their stay to the fullest. Case in point, we have a pillow top that would have made the bed a little firmer.
