The mattress is very comfortable, but we wake up HOT and SWEATY MULTIPLE TIMES during the night! We hear this is a characteristic of All memory foam mattresses! We made the change to this mattress from an almost 30 year period of sleeping on a full wave / motion waterbed. We felt we did thorough research of all the different versions of memory foam on the market. And we chose this mattress due to its price and all the POSITIVE Feedback we read online. Now we do agree we get better quality of sleep, BUT like I mentioned above, we wake up HOT and SWEATY Multiple Times during the night. Even though there is a GEL COOLING layer built in the mattress. All I can say is do your research and go out and lay on or try out as many mattresses as you can before buying. Good Luck! and Good Sleeping!!!

The mattress is perhaps just a very little on the firm side - I could use it a little less firm. (I weigh 165#.) It was not quite as heavy and hard to handle as I expected- which is good. It is comfortable, supportive, and we are sleeping well. Between the fitted sheet and the mattress, we have only a waterproof/dust mite, zippered polyester protector. I plan to add a thin mattress pad over the protector to offset the heat captured by it. We have had it for two weeks now and we believe we've obtained a great gel-foam experience for a great price.

I had been wanting a Memory Foam Mattress for many years after sleeping on one at a Hotel. I picked this particular mattress because it was engineered to sleep cooler than the others. After sleeping a very short time, 2 weeks, I can tell you that this mattress is no different than the mattress it replaced as far as heat goes. My Wife and I are still adjusting to sleeping on a memory foam mattress but so far I have noticed that My lower back pain is improved substantially. The price for this mattress is very reasonably, particularly if you have received a priced catalog from the Tempur Pedic people. I must refrain from recommending this mattress at this time because I have not slept enough on it to be sure. I hope to prepare another review in the future after I have had a sufficient amount of time to provide a reliable review.

I have never slept through the night because of hip and back pain due to the beds I slept on. Before this purchase I have been sleeping on a bed that I had spent close to $2000 on and had to flip and turn the bed every week before my back and hip would begin to hurt again. The Night Therapy bed is soft yet supportive and I have been sleeping through the night for the first time in 20 years. I can't sleep when I am hot and was worried about the possibility of the memory foam being to warm for me to sleep. I was pleasantly surprised that the temperature was perfect for me because of the cooling gel. I love the fact that there are no springs as well because I have felt many times my discomfort was due to the beds springs. I can recommend this bed if you have trouble with hip or back pain. I hope you find the bed that is right for you.

Bed arrived in large box that barely fit thru the doorway. Thankfully we laid it next to the bedframe to open because the mattress has no upholstered handles and is very difficult to move once out of the wrapping. Slept on it that night and awoke with backaches next morning due to the firmness of this mattress. Each night thereafter got better, and now two weeks later we are very satisfied and are sleeping much better than with our old mattress. Never noticed any odor that some refer to. Only disappointment is that the fabric cover is not very attractive with the blue contrasting stripe around the sides. Would've gladly paid more for upholstery upgrade (esp. if with handles!). And could have rated mattress 5 star.

I just spent 1800 dollars on a new mattress for my bed and bought this mattress for my son's bed. This is much more comfortable than the expensive mattress I bought. Wish I would have bought this mattress first. I could have saved myself a lot of money.

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.

I'm 6'4", 320 and built like a gorilla. For years we've slept on an inner-spring mattress with a 4" mattress topper. The springs would fight against my hips. So I'd wake up stiff and achy. No good. So, out of sheer necessity I started looking for an answer and feel like I found one with this thing. We ordered the king and it arrived one day ahead of scheduled delivery. The box is large and 123 lbs. Get a hand-truck and a tub of butter to help you shoe-horn this box through the door. Then, do what I did...while still in the plastic bag, place it on your bed first. Because once you open the plastic bag it immediately starts to expand and quickly becomes what you just paid for. We let it expand a full 4 hours before laying on it. It is a smooth, complete 13" inches just as advertised. The mild / moderate chemical smell went away after a day or so. Not a big deal for me. After a day or so of expansion it is a true, thick king-sized mattress. We slept on this thing the first night. Over the next day or so it continued to suck in air. You'll sink in a couple of inches and the memory foam will support you just fine. I'm a side sleeper and have had no trouble with that. Back sleepers will be okay since the foam will fill in the small of your back providing support. The memory foam gives plenty of good support without fighting back like springs can. It stays cool. I was concerned that the material would heat up and make me hot but it doesn't. The mattress stays cool and really does not absorb body heat. I say this mattress is as advertised. If I had something to gripe about I would, but I don't. Good deal for the money. Have recommended this to a friend already.

Purchased online sight unseen and it is the best mattress i've ever owned. It's of better quality for the brand names that cost thousands of dollars. Unpacked and slept on first night. There was very slight smell which dissipated in the first day. I am going to buy another for my guest room.

Good quality bed. Very,very firm. Easy to set up but might be hard for elderly to move around. The bed had a strong odor for the first couple of days. I had to put my 3" memory foam topper I previously bought from Sams on top of bed and now it's just right. I wake up less sore than on my spring mattress. If you like a firm bed then this is the bed for you.
