Mattress arrived neatly in a box which was easy to carry upstairs into our attic room. Within minutes of opening the mattress, it expanded to queen size. The mattress NEVER had an odor. The price was so reasonable, even with the $27 shipping, I couldn't have bought one cheaper anywhere and I did alot of online research before I bought it. It is the most comfortable mattress we have ever had. No more back and shoulder pains! Mattress is on a platform bed. Very satisfied with purchase and quality. We love it and recommend it highly!!

Using this mattress with bunk bed tip: Purchase a masonite sheet to lay on top of the slats to support this mattress - very inexpensive and home improvement big box story will cut to size. Also, carefully measure the space compared to the specs of this mattress. All twins are not created equal. These twins are much larger than the ones we replaced and I held my breath not sure it would fit in the space. It barely did but sheet changing on the top bunk is going to be rough. Now for the review: We bought these as replacement mattresses for our children's medal frame bunk beds. Realizing firmness/softness is subjective I thought these were supper hard but said nothing to our kiddos in case they didn't notice. Well they did notice and complained like the dickens. I even cancelled a pick up I'd scheduled for our old mattresses concerned we might need them. They complained every night for a week until I ended up purchasing an inexpensive topper off Walmart.com hoping and praying that would do the trick. Fortunately it did. A week after adding the topper, the last thing my daughter said to me on her way to bed tonight was that she loves her new bed. Thank goodness! I was looking for something softer to start with but could find nothing less firm in a twin size at Samsclub.com

Unpacking was easy and the mattress unfolded to over 7" immediately. Within 2 hours it was at the full 8" thickness. There was a warning enclosed about the odor but this was my 2nd one of these and neither had any odor whatsoever. It is just the right firmness to give me a good night's rest and my arthritic body really appreciates that! I would highly recommend this product to anyone with back or neck pain.

It is hard as other have mentioned, but in less than 2 months there is a noticeable sag where I typically lay. It's like falling into a well worn hole and after only 2 months! The warranty is worthless since if nobody is on the mattress and you lay a straight edge across it, it is not apparent. But lay down and immediately you roll into the "hole". TWO MONTHS, I was hoping for better!

I was hoping that this mattress would hold up to the reviews that I had read from the other shoppers that bought it - and to our delight it did!! This is a great buy and is very comfy. We bought it for our daughter who recently upgraded to a queen size bed but our one major problem is we couldn't fit a conventional mattress up our staircase. After much research online I came across this and seen that it came in a box that we could get upstairs and after reading the reviews other people had left it sounded great we were a little optimistic about it reaching it's full 8" but it did. There was also a comment that had discussed the smell from the materials but it was really irrelevant, didn't even hardly notice it. Our daughter loves it and my husband and I are actually thinking of getting a king size for our room. It's comfy and quiet and it also doesn't shake or move when our 60# dog gets up and down on it. The price was also a plus!!

If you are not allergic to this type mattress then it is an excellent buy. Not long before ordering this, I bought a Carswell Serta mattress from Sams. It is wonderful! I wanted to try the Foam for a twin in our spare bedroom so ordered this one. All was well until we couldnt get the smell out of it and laying on it I found that I got headaches and felt bad. Had to return it and luckily Sams had just added a Twin Carswell, YAY! Returned the foam to our Club for a No Hassle refund and the Great Carswell is on the way. Love dealing with Sams, wont buy foam again though.

It's a really good mattress for the price. We got it because our son was complaining nearly every day that his back hurt when he woke up. It weighs 33 pounds, so be ready for that when it arrives. Depending on your stature, you might need someone to help you carry it. The one drawback on the whole thing is that, well, it smells. Really bad. It has a strong chemical smell and allowing it to air out for a couple of days didn't help much. We're putting some fabric softener sheets in there to try to help buffer the smell a bit. Hopefully it'll fade on its own but it would keep me awake at night. Our son doesn't seem to mind.

My pregnant daughter wanted a more comfortable mattress for her bed and since we had a small budget, I decided to try this out. Boy oh boy, I'm so glad I did. It was more than I expected for the price. It is so comfortable and not only is she happy with it, I've recommended it to others and am going to purchase a king size for myself.

I was happy to see all the great reviews of this mattress. However, I was (am) disappointed in it. It is way too firm for me. Even my children, who are not that picky, thought it was too firm. Now I will have to look into buying a softer memory foam topper to go on top of it. I should have just bought the cheap $100 regular twin mattress from the Sam's store and purchased a memory foam topper for it and saved about $80.

We purchased this bed for our 3yr old. She started sleeping through the night since we switched from her old crib (toddler bed) mattress to this new mattress. I couldn't believe how much more sound she sleeps now. I was really just looking for a good value and "comfortable enough for a kid' type of mattress, but it is way nicer than I expected. We are very happy with it.
