Review by MattinKC : It's become a favorite

Got this for my youngest son (11) and it's his favorite bed ever, he explains. His sister (19) steals it whenever possible, convinced it's a much nicer mattress than hers. good value, good mattress. Didn't experience the airing out stench, but did air it out in the garage for several days before putting it on the bed.

Review by Action Alex 23 : Best foam mattress for the price

Ill be honest. I never do surveys or reviews, but this mattress is worth five minutes of my time. Three nights after sleeping in this beauty, my back pain is aaaaaall gone. I feel like a brand new person! And for 200 bucks?!? Best deal online.

Review by Julian A. Schulz "Julian" : High quality for the price!

Recently, my faithful Simmons spring mattress started poking me with
metal springs, as the bed began to collapse into itself (from years of use).
I went shopping for a replacement, never realizing just how ridiculously expensive
almost any mattress is.I began to search online, not completely convinced it would be wise to purchase
one without laying on it first, but the deals were too hard to resist.
I had heard good things regarding 'memory foam,' and thought it might be a better
option than the typical spring-equipped style.I ordered this one in a full-size, 8" thick edition, which would fit my wood, platform
bed frame.The bed arrived rolled up, vacuum packed in layers of plastic.
It was pretty heavy, but i managed to get it up the stairs, to my apartment.
After cutting through all the wrapping, the mattress expands quickly (within two hours),
to it's full size.
The mattress was exactly 8", as advertised, and incredibly well made & solid.
I expected it to be less firm & more airy, but it was a bit heavier than my old spring
mattress.When i laid on top of it, the bed felt amazing: Firm, but still cloud-like.
However, there was a slight chemical smell that bothered me.
I opened all my windows & let the mattress air out, while i went to work.
When i arrived back home, i could still sense that lingering smell (it wasn't ever
really strong, but it was there).The next night, i was pleased to notice the smell was completely gone.
My first night on the mattress, initially, it felt great (just lying flat on my back).
I'm a side sleeper, so as i changed position, it sort of felt difficult to move onto
my side, as the memory foam forms a slight crater & cradles your body to the exact specifications
of your shape.
When you move to another position, it disrupts the original shape you created, so it felt
sort of odd.
This bed felt cooler than my spring mattress, and higher (maybe because my old mattress was
slowly collapsing).When i got up the next morning, the bed instantly went back into it's original shape,
as i pulled my weight off the mattress.
It's amazing, as you sort of expect to see a slight indentation from your body.I do like this bed, i just might need a few nights to adjust to "memory foam."
It's comfortable, yet it feels so much different than your standard mattress.
The quality is top notch, and my tag said my bed was manufactured 9/22/11!
My mattress was only a month old, when it arrived.You cannot beat Amazon's 209.00 price, and the free shipping makes it a HUGE bargain!
I was set to purchase another mattress from a retailer, until i saw my shipping charges
would be 80.00.
It's astounding they can offer free shipping, as this mattress is not small or light to lift.

Review by Wendy : After sleeping on this for awhile now....

I LOVE IT! This is such an upgrade from a regular bed. Originally I switched to foam due to allergies from our old mattress, but find that this is soooo much more comfortable! I'm waking up less from pressure points, and sneezing.Both my husband and I are tall and slim. We don't normally get over heated at night, and that hasn't changed on this mattress. In fact, I'm still dressing warmly and using a quilt during cold weather. My daughter, 2yrs old loved ours so much that we got her a small foam bed too! Really a must for anyone with back pain or allergies! It only had a slight odor for a few days, and me having a 'super sniffer' nose, I'm not sure if anyone else would have smelt it.

Review by simone : very comfortable but gets hot at night!!

bought this for my daughters bed, it is very comfortable but gets kinda hot after a while. i guess thats something to get used to. other than that i can't complain. no bad smell after the first day like other people wrote, at least not mine!? awesome value, would buy again!!!!!!

Review by God Lover : Very pleased!

I received my mattress last week, so I have had some time to try it out and give a more detailed review. So far, I'm quite happy with my purchase. I want to clarify some points, because some other reviewers have mentioned things that I have or have NOT experienced.First, the mattress is accurately described as an 8 inch mattress. It is also described as "2 pieces" merged into one. There is a soft layer (meant to be the top) over high density foam. The mattress is neither too firm nor too soft IMO, I think it's just right. If people would look at how a Tempurpedic mattress is constructed...it's done the same way (except with a "pillowtop" & much more expensive!). Pretty much all foam mattresses are constructed this way. Those that aren't cost a fortune! The description from the seller is ACCURATE.The mattress DOES offgas a strong odor. I'm guessing this comes from the solvent used to glue the 2 pieces of mattress together. I left it outside to air in the garage for a few days. I still detected an odor after I brought it in, but decided I could live with it since the "other" option was sleeping on the tile floor. The odor left after a few more days. If you're sensitive to chemicals, or have allergies (or asthma), you may have a problem with this mattress. I would purchase something else if that is the case.For the amount of money I paid, I feel like I got a great deal. The mattress is very good quality, and so is the cover. While I paid $30 for shipping, again...I'm glad I did. Why? It was sent via Fedex, (weighs over 50 lb), and Fedex called to make sure I'd be home to sign for it when it arrived. I am truly grateful I didn't have to pick up this package from the Post office! After I ordered it, it arrived in about 5 days (ordered before a week end). Again, I'm very happy.If your expectations are "in line" with the $200 bucks you're paying, and don't mind taking steps to air it out...you will be happy with your purchase.FYI: This mattress feels soft(er) rather than firm (as described by other reviewers). The company might have changed the mattress after people complained. Foam mattresses are warm...ALL of them are. If that bothers you, I'd try a down (rather than polyester) mattress cover to even out the temperature...that has helped me. Mattress toppers get hot too (they reflect your body heat)...so keep this in mind when you order. If you have a problem with the heat...stick to an innerspring mattress instead...foam is NOT for you!
