I initially wavered a bit about purchasing this mattress and all the while my husband and I were dealing with our 16 yo Queen pillow top mattress. Waking up with body aches, stiffness isn't a pretty thing when both of us are still not as old as we felt upon rolling out of bed until we could sit up. Not because of the mattress but rather how the mattress made us feel every morning. He told me just to order it and we'll see where it takes us. The MyGel Prestige has been a wonderful mattress. Both of us sleep more soundly; thrash less, don't feel each other turning over; and wake up feeling like we got a good night's sleep. No more rolling out of bed. The minute my feet hit the floor, I'm not struggling to wake up my lower back so I can walk. My husband and I haven't had any problems in the month that we've owned it, and we are surprised by the fact that we love it without having first tried or tested it. It really is a perfect fit. Regarding the packaging odor: Not too strong after unpacking. We kept a fan in the room to circulate the air. The first night was not bad. Got better over the course of 2 to 3 days until we didn't even notice that we couldn't smell it anymore. At the end of the day, if you are extremely sensitive to odors, then you might consider letting it air long enough to allow odor to dissipate before you sleep on it. It will be worth the wait instead of saying you don't like it because of the smell. The smell is gone baby and I'm digging my new bed! I would recommend the bed (I have already), and I would buy another of this type/brand without hesitation. If you are thinking about it, don't. Just DO IT. Worse case scenario... you return it. Best case scenario... you'll feel like you've gone to heaven for the night. ;)

I have spent thousands, and thousands of dollars on mattresses in the past 15 years, yet, this is the very first time we do not have lower back pain, ever!! Purchasing this $492 mattress is the best purchase we have ever made!!. All I can say is that I can not imagine anyone not LOVING this mattress! I have seen the reviews where folks complain about firmness, and smell. There is a very easy fix for that. When you unpack the mattress, walk all over it for 10 minutes. This will open up all the cells, and release the smell of the latex. We unpacked this mattress, walked all over it for 10 minutes, let it sit overnight, and slept on it the next day. Neither my wife or myself can even detect the smell of latex, and the mattress did open up to it's full 13". The last few days have been the best nights sleep each of us have ever had, for as long as we can remember. No sweating at all, actually may be better than a normal mattress! Don't consider the complaints about being too hot, the gel takes care of that in entirety. But this mattress, you will be very happy!!

I also bought this mattress sight unseen. I read the reviews and was still leary of what I might get. I had been looking for a mattress for the past 18 yrs. that would compare to the waterbed I used to have. I had done away with the waterbed, because I was moving a lot and filling it and unfilling it was becoming a hassle. That's when I switched to a regular inner spring mattress. Every mattress that I have purchased, 4 in the past 18 yrs. would develope sags and lumps. I felt as if I was always sleeping down in a hole. My husband and I are not over weight, so it wasn't because of that. The first set cost over $2000, and many others that were name brands and highly priced would have to be trashed after a few years wear. I also have had back pain since I was a teen. Just recently I hurt my back and I have 3 slipped discs. I am taking P.T. and have sciatic pain down my leg. I have to wake up an hour early just to start walking. This mattress is the best purchase ever. I love the material it's made from. Not too soft or too firm. I feel like Goldilocks. My pain is getting much better and I'm sleeping and am much more rested. The only thing I wish was different is that it was a lot thicker. For the style headboard I have I could have used a mattress that was 15" or more to help with the looks of my bed. Other than that I can't complain. If you're tired of shopping around to find one that meets many needs, health issues, different support between you and your spouse, or something great for the value....you have to try this one.

My only complaint was the smell when it arrived, it took about 6 hours with windows open to get it gone. I understand they all smell some, but my last two only took about 3 hours. No big deal there. Overall this bed is GREAT. It is super thick so I don't feel like I hit the ground, very soft yet firm at the same time. I can sleep mostly n my side without my shoulders hurting too much now. The cooling effect is MEH at best, I did not think it kept me cool, but it also was not inferno on a mattress so I assume it is working. Over all a great buy, super cheap price, and so far the best memory foam I have owned.

My husband and I looked at more expensive memory foam mattresses and finally chose to purchase this one. We are enjoying the mattress. It sleeps well and I really like the fact that I can't tell if my husband gets up from the bed. So far, it seems to be a good value and we are very satisfied.

I had high hopes for this mattress, based on reviews on the site and from family. I gave it 3 stars for ease of ordering, the quick delivery, and customer service from the people I have talked to since ordering. The first night I woke up feeling like I was on a bed of coals. I thought maybe it was me, so kept the house cold and the second night it was the same way. Every night I sleep on this bed it feels like the burning bed. So frustrating, because it is very comfortable. I have a thick mattress pad on top and it has only slightly alleviated the problem. I just can't take the heat anymore. I know it's not night sweats, because I don't wake up in a sweat, just extremely hot, like I'm laying on a heating pad set too high.

We've had this mattress for a few weeks now and it's still comfortable. It does have a faint scent - so I'd suggest letting it air out for a bit. It also takes two (normal-sized) people to carry the box, due to its bulky size. The bed expanded in minutes - I'd suggest putting it on your box spring, then cut the plastic. Anyhow, the bed was very comfortable. I'm mainly a belly/side sleeper and I no longer have pinch points in my arms. I'm not much of a back sleeper because of the pain inner springs caused - but with this bed I was able to lay on my back for quite a while and never had any pain! This bed is truly comparable (if not better) than the Tempur beds. This bed does hold in some heat, especially if you have someone else sleeping in it with you... but it's not nearly as bad as other foam beds. As for my size, I'm 170 and I don't sink in too much. The sides will give away to you so you can't sleep right on the side... but this should be obvious since the entire bed is foam. Someone previously pointed out that this mattress is not firm. I would somewhat disagree - but it really depends on how big you are. If you're normal size/weight - it will be moderately firm at first. If you're bigger, it probably won't be as firm as an innerspring. All-in-all, I would recommend (and already have) this mattress. It's also worth taking the risk to buy it online - if you don't like it, you can always take it back to your local Sam's club or call them to possibly have it picked up!

After reading all the reviews about how comfortable this bed is, I took the plunge and bought it. Maybe it was just us (both my wife and I), but we found it overly firm and not very comfortable. After about three weeks we'd had enough and I took it back. It never lost that neoprene smell either. Smell can kind of give you a headache after a while. Maybe it's just us, because obviously a lot of people like this mattress, but we didn't like it at all, and therefore, can't recommend it.

This mattress sleeps much better that the Serta memory foam we returned a week or so ago. That Serta memory foam was rock hard to sleep on. This is just soft enough but firm enough to enjoy it anytime even for a quick nap. This what I bought a memory foam mattress for. I think the gel infused makes the difference in the comfort level. I especially like that my wife can get up and the bed does not move at all and vice versa.

My husband and I are opposites when it comes to mattresses. He wants a firm mattress and I want a soft one. I injured my lower back in a fall and if my mattress is too firm, I can't walk in the morning. A couple of years ago we spent over $1,300 for a queen size mattress the salesman promised would satisfy both of us. Neither one of us can sleep comfortably on it. This night therapy mattress is perfect. It's firm enough for him and soft enough for me.....and at less than half the price. The top layer of gel foam fills in the curvature at the base of my spine and gives me the soft support I need. We both get a great night's rest and don't wake up feeling stiff and sore for the first time in years. We did not notice any smell at all when the mattress arrived. I love this mattress so much I bought a queen size one for my guest room. I want my visiting friends and family to sleep as well as I do. I highly recommend this mattress to everyone. I've only had it a few months so I don't know how it will hold up but at this price even if I have to buy one every four years, it will cost me slightly over $150 per year - way less than the mattress we both dislike.
