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!

The product arrived quickly, expanded to full size in seconds and had no smell. It was very comfortable from the first night but not soft enough for the extreme fibro that cripples my wife until we added the 4 inch topper that we also bought from Sams a couple years ago. She now gets the only good sleep that she has had in 7 years.

Initially had buyers remorse. Larger than the bed frame I was using for my Previous Queen size mattress. It is firmer than the pillowtop spring I was using. I toss & turn less, and get a better nights sleep now. This is a positive upgrade. I no longer have buyers remorse.

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.

I am 46 years old and have been in 2 bad car wrecks (neither one my fault! :-) ) and a work related accident that have left me with constant lower back pain for the last 10 years. I had pretty much resigned myself to thinking that it was something that I was going to have to deal with for the rest of my life. Not anymore. My back has not felt this good since I was in my 20's. I am getting much better sleep and overall feel so much better. I had looked at memory foam mattresses at some of the big retail stores, and never thought I would get one because they were so expensive. When I found this for a fraction of the price I was excited. I, like many of the others on here, was a bit concerned about buying without trying, but I knew I liked memory foam and thought that with the easy return policy from Sam's it was worth a shot. Am I ever glad I did! This thing is incredible. For both my wife and I it is the perfect mix of plushness with the top layer being fairly soft, but it has other layers just below that that give good support. No pressure points, just an incredibly comfortable mattress. Had I known how much better I would feel and how much better I would be sleeping I would have done this years ago and paid the several thousand dollars that the name brands charge. As others have mentioned there is a bit of chemical smell when you get it. It is not horrible and doesn't burn your eyes or make you light headed or anything, it is just noticeable. We took the cover off it (it is a soft cloth cover that just zips on and off pretty easily) and put it in the washer, and we let just the foam air out for a couple days in another room with a fan on it, sprayed Febreeze on it a couple times and did the walking all over it thing to squeeze the air out. It was still slightly noticeable when we first slept in it, not enough to deter sleep or anything, but after about 3-5 days of sleeping on it was almost completely gone and now after a couple of weeks it is completely gone. I am so glad I found this. I will never go back to a conventional mattress. If you are on the fence about getting it, stop. Just buy it. You will be so glad you did!!!! P.S. - You might want to get a loud alarm clock along with this - you are going to need it!

Purchasing this mattress was a leap in faith. I'd never seen it nor even sat on it. I did a lot of research on various types of mattresses, and the satisfaction stats indicated I should switch from my inner springs to a memory foam. Some general reviews said these mattresses tended to hold heat, so when I saw that the Sam's Club memory foam had gel to keep the mattress cool, I opted for it. I'm very happy with it. My husband thinks the sides are too soft; he feels like he's going to roll off the side of the bed. He's a big man, so that may account for his sensation. I don't feel that way. On the inner spring mattress, I was waking up a few times a night with pains in my hips. That hasn't happened with this memory foam. My old queen-size sheets fit on it fine. I'm using the box spring from my old mattress under this one, and it's working fine. The delivery was fast. The price was hundreds of dollars lower than a comparable mattress in a department store or specialty mattress store. We aired out the new mattress on our patio for one day, and that solved the odor problem. All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

Purchased this mattress two weeks ago and came to the conclusion that it didn't have enough support. My wife and I would sink together in the middle. If you were anywhere near the edge, it felt like you were going to fall off. It might suffice for lighter people; I am 225# and my wife 120#. The one positive thing was returning it at a club; no hassles. We decided to go with the Serta Trump Select 12" memory foam mattress. It's layers are 1" cooling gel, 2" memory and 9" high density support. We were able to try it in the store. I am much happier with the Serta. More support, no sinking and no falling off the edge.

What inspired me to buy this mattress were the raving reviews this one has got and that every single person who reviewed the mattress unamimously agreed that it is a firm mattress (a bit too firm for some !!!).. But to my horror the one that I received was way too soft/plush.. It wasn't one bit firm. Me (200 lb)and my wife (125 lb) sank in it all the time. We could not roll in the bed.. It was a pain to get in and out of the bed. This product is no where near what it is advertised to be. Returned it in a club. No hassles there.

I was like every one else. Didn't want to buy online without trying it out first. We have tried so many mattresses and decided just to go ahead and buy it based on most all the reviews were great! It does smell a little.. About 2 or 3 days after it went away. But my son says it smells like markers. We were going to pay much much more in other stores on a regular mattresses so we decided to treat ourselves with a memory foam. The first night I woke up with no pains!UNBELIEVABLE., also a mayor department store sells this same mattress for about $900 so very much worth the price. I'm more the plushy person so when I got in mattress I thought this is not so plushy but sleep in it and wait you will sleep like a baby! Now my mom is ordering this same bed.. Awesome! Oh and it also came in about a wk from when I ordered...just unroll it and see it rise.

I was waking with aches and pains in all my joints. I thought I was just getting old...but here, it was mattress that was old! I was shopping for a cool gel memory foam mattress but was sticker shocked when I saw the prices. I came across the Night Therapy Elite 13" and saw the price and thought it would be good to try. LOVE IT! So comfy and I wake up pain free!
