Is it really firm? I find that most vegetable brushes are far too soft...

I would say so. It does a great job! I can definitely tell the difference between using this brush and my old one.

Yes, it is very firm and the bristles are tightly packed so they show no sign of separating/bending with regular usage

Yes, it is very firm. I've found this brush sometimes takes some of the skin off my red potatoes.

It is really firm...firm enough to take those tiny eyes out of your potatoes. I like the way it fits in my hand, too. I highly recommend this product.

Yes, the bristles are nice and firm and I'm thoroughly thrilled that I found such a great vegetable brush. The top of the brush fits perfectly in the palm of my hand the bristles stand up wonderfully to scrubbing everything from potatoes to carrots. I know what you mean about some vegetable brushes being very soft, this is most definitely not the case with this vegetable brush.

It's definitely soft enough. If you're working on a smooth surface, like wood or something, it might skid along the floor. Hope this helps!

Yes the bristles are soft. I was afraid they would be rock solid like most curling irons. My hair is short and the barrel looks large but it works just great.

I would call it firm, but not super firm. I call it just right! We tried medium and soft and found them to be to soft

I think they are soft but that is just my opinion. They are soft to touch as well soft on my face as I don't have sensitive skin. However, for $3 is a pretty good deal. And they are about 9 - 11 in brushes. I hope this helps.

No it is way too stiff for mushrooms. I have a very soft brush made specifically for mushrooms that is what you need for them. I think it came from Williams-Sonoma. This OXO is a general purpose brush for things like root vegetables.

Mine feels quite soft. I find it very comfortable. Firmness is relative and subjective though and I don't know what your original feels like.

Unfortunately I didn't think it was as firm as the earlier ones. I believe it is as thick, but without the firmness it doesn't seem to be as thick. One thing that concerned me that was in some comments was that it smells like chemicals, mine definitely did not smell.

Mine was not firm. I bought it because my mattress was too firm and needed something soft.

The packaging indicates "P.BT. Bristles." You can find information about this material on line. Some opinions seem to be that they are too stiff, but I don't find that true. They seem very gentle to me.

I have never seen the brush in a store. I only discovered it on a construction site, when I asked to feel it I found the bristles very stiff. This bristles will not flatten under pressure like some typical store varieties. I bought several here, very pleased.

It's pretty firm, but I'm sure it would soften up with use.....but maybe not to the squishy point.

It's a firm brush, I have no problems and it has a hard brushing sensor on it

Yes the bristles are nice and soft. Im very happy with this brush and I do recommend it. I am a makeup artist and my clients like how soft it feels when I'm applying their foundation.

In my opinion, yes, it is soft. It is not as cushy (or thick) as those cushioned mats made to stand on for long hours; but it does have a minor give. I have some doormats that have stiff bristle-like "fibers". My cat avoids them. I consider them as not being "easy on paws". This mat is not like that at all and he has no problem with it.
