My parents bought this mattress for me as an early christmas gift. My mother told me to select any mattress whatsoever. So when I elected the Night Therapy Gel from Sam's Club she was appalled. She told me I could, and should, spend more on my mattress. She thought that the more I spent, the happier I would be. However, I had spent days and days researching prospective mattresses and continually returned to this one. I'm very happy with my selection. It's firm, yet soft. It's very odd. it fits to your form and seems to hold you delicately. Took only minutes to expand to its full 13 inches. Smell was not an issue. Don't spend more than you need to on a mattress.

If you suffer from any type of spine disorder this mattress may not be for you. I have upper and lower back problems and while it felt good on the lower back, my neck gave me fits with this mattress. You truly have to like a soft mattress that sucks your body in to one place. I love the fact that Sam's will let you return a mattress with no hassle at all! I will continue to buy from them.

This mattress replaced our pillow top Stearns & Foster mattress. The pillow top was comfortable at first but after the break-in period of about the first 2-3 years the pillow top was not as comfortable nor gave me the back support that I really needed. After 2 back surgeries I really needed a more firm type of support and pillow top is not it. This mattress totally surprised me! When it arrived in a long rectangle box I thought....... did I order a water bed or air mattress?? Well it is a heavy mattress and thank goodness we opened it and set it up on our box springs frame instead of the floor. I think that it is recommended to wait 1-2 days for the mattress to fully expand and its shape. Well we couldn't wait so we slept on it the first night and it was awesome! The gel layer and memory foam on top just feels so cool and comfortable. I use to toss and turn all night on the old mattress trying to find a comfortable position to sleep but would wake with a stiff and painful back. But not anymore! I sure hope that my review helps for those who may be looking for a good supporting mattress. And one more thing to mention is that for us menopausal women, the cool gel top layer is great!

I have suffered from back pain for years and have tried several mattresses with this one being at the top. I sleep well and wake with no back pain Shipping was on time and the chemical smell took about three days to dissipate. We used the bed the same day we got it and it fully expanded within two days. I would buy this product again. I picked this bed due to the reviews on this website and am not disappointed. It's a little soft when you first lay down then your body adjusts and the mattress feels firm

We had to return this mattress, it was way TOO SOFT. Just sitting on the side of the mattress you sink almost to the bottom of it. NO support at all. After sleeping on the mattress for 2 months I was waking up with extreme pain in my back, hips, knees and ankles. I felt as if I was 30 yrs older than I am! My husband was having severe back pain also. We exchanged it out for a Serta Firm Mattress and after just one night the back, hip & ankle pains are gone! If soft is what you are looking for this is a great mattress. If you need any kind of support look elsewhere! Mattress was also EXTREMELY HEAVY. Very difficult to move. We didn't experience any problems with smells that other reviewers mentioned.

I was very skeptical in the purchase of this type of bed. I researched beds for about a year with this one always in the mix. I bought gel pillows 1st and having liked how they worked I went for the bed. I let it expand for three days and I slept better the 1st night. My wife loves it since she floats on top , since I am a heavy guy I do settle in. It is not a problem and its just different. Our old mattress was an air mattress and we had it blown up to the max. My research told me to go with 6lb foam but this is a good compromise.

This mattress is too soft for us. When you sit on edge of bed it sink down real bad. And I only 125 lb. when we sleep on that first night . I feel my head sink down more than my body. I wake up with neck and shoulder pain in the morning and my husband got back pain too. So we think maybe it need the time for our body to adjust to new mattress. We try two more night still wake up with same problem. So I will return it.

We have a pillowtop mattress that we bought 4 years ago. After just one year we woke up everyday stiff and sore from it. We paid $1400 for a kingsize mattress. After complaining to the company where we bought it, we were told they would have to send someone out to examine it and determine if there was 1 1/2" difference where the mattress was broken down and we would be charged for to call. If it was determined there was a problem, they would only give us a small portion of our money back to purchase a new one. I decided to look elsewhere as I did not want to deal with this company anymore. I researched many different options and decided on this mattress. I am so glad. Neither my husband nor myself wake up with any pain in our backs or hips anymore. We have only had it for a month, but we love it. I only hope it holds up. Time will tell.

I bought this mattress 2 months ago and i have to say it is the most comfortable mattress i have ever slept on in the 57 years of my life. I am 250 lb. man and was sceptical when i first read the reviews. i was concerned that it would be too soft or too hard as some of the reports had posted. i used to wake up with a back ache on my old mattress but now that is not the case. If you are wanting a comfortable bed (and yes it is cool with the gel) then go ahead and get it. You will not find a better one for the price.

We started with our Night Therapy 13" MyGel Prestige King mattress Feb 2014. It is now November 2014 and we have returned it to Sam's. Thank goodness for Sam's excellent return policy!! I am 225 lbs and a back sleeper and she is 135 lbs and a side sleeper. The first 3 months of bed use was pleasant. But as time wore on, the indentions for both of us increased to the point we were encased in a hammock shape with a puffy ridge between us. Whether 135 lbs or 225 lbs, this mattress sags over time and stops supporting as it did in the first 90 days. That's what you need to be aware of. And that causes a total loss of the initial pleasant feelings about this mattress. Hope that helps.
