Purchased this for my 16 yr old daughter and she totally loves it! It's firm enough that you don't sink into it to deep. The odor was gone after a day...and it wasn't that bad. Expanded to a full 12 inches instantly. I ordered it on a Thursday and it arrived on Saturday, I will try to give an update in a few months to see how the quality holds up,

Really nice mattress

It was difficult to judge the firmness of this mattress based on others' reviews since everyone has their own opinion of the meaning of Firm, Medium, or Soft. I prefer a Soft to Medium mattress. Our double pillowtop mattress was past it's prime and we needed a new one. Since my husband has had 2 back surgeries with metal bars and screws, we wanted to try a memory foam mattress. And since I sleep "hot", we needed the cool gel one. We didn't want to spend a lot, not knowing if it would work for his condition, so we gave this one a try since it was a great price and actually good quality. Let me just say, he's 6' - 225lbs and I'm 5'7"- 125lbs. The mattress was OK for him but HORRIBLE for me!! I'm a stomach/side sleeper and it felt like I was laying on the floor!! It was so firm I woke up with a sore back and hips. There was absolutely NO give for someone of my weight. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT order this mattress if you like to sleep on your stomach or side and you weigh less than 200lbs!!!! You will definitely be sorry!!!

I recently purchased this bed for my wife and I. We fell in love with it immediately. We didn't even wait for 24 hours for the bed to finish uncompressing and still slept well. I usually get cold in the night and this bed keeps me perfectly warm. The problem is that my wife is a hot sleeper and so she Has mentioned this but we added a down alternative topper and a fan keeps her cool enough. I also wake up earlier than she does and she has mentioned that with this new bed she is not disturbed nearly as much as our old mattress.

I purchased this mattress because I was tired of the poor quality of sleep I was getting on a standard mattress. I thought any mattress had to be better than what I had been sleeping on and after trying three standard mattresses I thought I'd try a Tempur Pedic. The price and my skepticism caused me to look at a less expensive alternative. I've now had the foam mattress for over a week and it's taken a little getting use to but so far I'm sleeping much better and my back doesn't hurt near as much as with the other mattresses. I'm a rather large person and the reviews on this mattress had me concerned. Not sure if this is the last mattress I'll try but the memory foam is by far one of the most comfortable I've slept on. As for the smell, it wasn't a problem at all. The first night or two I noticed a slight chemical odor but nothing overpowering and I am sensitive to odors. If you're not sure about memory foam this is a good mattress to try out. My back does get a little warm but not too bad. In my opinion, it's difficult to adequately evaluate a memory foam mattress from just laying on one in a store. It's best to sleep on one for a fair evaluation. They feel a little stiff at first but then it conforms to your body and feels more comfortable.

I was reluctant to purchase this mattress simply due to the price and afraid of the hassle i'd have it i had to return it. Well all my worries went away the first night I slept on it. This is the best money spent, ever. The mattress isn't hot as others state and only had a chemical smell the first day. It is unbelievable how comfortable this mattress is. I'm about to order my second one for the spare room.

We were very skeptical about a memory foam mattress as we have always had a spring mattress. After reading the reviews I felt it was definitely worth trying especially since my husband has spinal issues. Somewhat of an odor initially but only lasted a few days. I immediately felt comfortable sleeping on this mattress. It took several days before my husband admitted he liked the new mattress because he is one who doesn't like change. We both are sleeping better than ever and not tossing and turning all night. I feel this has the support needed but isn't hard as a rock to sleep on. I guess the only drawback is that neither one of us want to get up in the morning now because of how comfy it is.

Its good

This bed is very comfortable. I had an older memory foam bed previously and my husband and I would get so hot halfway through the night that it was becoming a problem. We were also sinking too far into the mattress and were waking up with back pain. The gel memory foam is great because we no longer get hot. Also, it was firmer then expected but it is an advantage because we don't sink so far into the mattress and therefore, no back pain. Just a great nights sleep. Unpacking was easy. We let it air for about 36 hours. What smell there was, which was minimal, was gone by the time we put the sheets on. I was hesitant about ordering a mattress online without trying first, but we were definitely pleased with our purchase.

Like everyone I was worried about ordering a mattress that I couldn't test first. I like a firm mattress with a soft pillow-top. I did visit a few mattress stores and liked the feel of a memory foam mattress but they were all $1400+ for a King. This is great to sleep on. Highly recommended.
