So after debating this for a while, I decided I want to take a leap of faith and switch to a memory foam mattress...I knew this was going to be a risk since there are a lot of mixed reviews out there, some people like it some don't.
I started my search by going to some local mattress firms, and was shocked at the markup those retailers add to their prices, you literally can not find a decent memory foam King size for less than 2000$ excluding taxes...I liked the feel the Tempur-Cloud Supreme , but it was selling for 5000$ which was too much to pay in my opinion especially for a first memory foam mattress for me, I might not like it after all. Anyway I finally decided to go and look for something decent online, which I normally do but not fro a mattress.
After looking on Amazon at different mattresses, I got the feel that a 3 inches meory foam is not that great, and it would be better getting something with at least 5 inches, this mattress seemed pretty reasonably price and a pretty decent with 5 inches of high density memory foam, although there was only 5 reviews at 4 and a half stars...I guess this was enough for me, for 650$ including shipping it wasn't a big risk to take, unlike paying 2000$ plus taxes...So I ordered the mattress and received it within 72 hours....
It came with no box, just rolled and double wrapped with a thick nylon wrapping. The mattress seemed too thin like a 4 inches thick maximum which concerned me a bit..It was too heavy as well as I had to help the UPS guy carry it upstairs.
After unwrapping it, I let it sit there for a couple of hours in which the mattress inflated to its 12 inches original thickness. It came with a 10 years warranty which contradict the advertising here, but I am not sure I really care, and I will be thankful if the mattress last for 10 years with the price I paid. Smell was not bad and i could barely notice it.
After one night of sleep, my girlfriend and I love this mattress, she was worried at the beginning that it might be too firm, and the mattress is not soft but not too firm, but its pretty comfortable and you can feel your body sinking in the foam, I think this mattress is going to relieve my back and neck pain.
I also bought a memory foam pillow, but am not sure I like that...I might stick with a traditional pillow as this one feels too hard.
I have feeling this was pretty a good deal for this mattress as I think similar quality are selling for almost 2000$ at retailers, such a rip off.
I will update this review after a while and let you know if this is still a good mattress, or if it turned out to be a mistake. I purchased this 12 inch mattress after ordering the 10 inch for another bedroom. I have had this mattress for a few weeks now.. The mattress arrived quickly without delay (within just a few days). I was provided a tracking number for the UPS delivery. On arrival, the mattress was packed quite well and arrived in excellent condition. Once unpacked, it took its shape very quickly. The mattress is well made and does come with a very nice removable cover. I was very pleased with the quality of this mattress it truly does match the comfort and quality of mattresses that cost much more! Check out similar dual air flow visco elastic mattresses and you will see the mark up that most retailers add to the cost. This mattress is well made, and is VERY comfortable to sleep on with no pressure points, no sagging, firm support while providing the softness of 5 inch memory foam on top the base 7 inches of supportive foam layers. I would recommend letting the mattress air out for a few days prior to sleeping on it as all the foam mattresses I have read about online do have a "new mattress ordor" just as a new car has an odor as well. Mine aired out in a few days. If you prefer a softer mattress, I would recommend the 12 inch mattress which has 5 inches memory foam. If you need more support, then the 10 inch mattress is the one for you. I absolutely love both of mine and my guests are amazed at the quality and comfort for this price! The mattress comes with a 10 yr warranty as well. I am giving this product 5 stars for Quality and Comfort, Price, and Responsiveness of the Seller.From the moment I placed my order to the actual delivery time was almost exactly 72 hours. I was pleasantly surprised. The cardboard box was basically destroyed in transit but with the mattress weighing 119lbs it's to be expected. Before signing for it, myself and the delivery driver did a careful examination of it, making sure it was not damaged. The mattress is wrapped in two thick layers of clear plastic wrap; both were intact. He handed me the warranty at that time and I carried it inside. In order for this mattress warranty to be valid, you must place the memory foam on a flat wood surface of the floor. (FYI: 98% of platform beds are slatted and will not work by themselves even the high end beds so *you MUST buy your own MDF or plywood and build your own bed base!) I had my MDF cut and secured down and placed the mattress at one end of the bed frame. It was like a fruit-roll-up, and I placed the zipper side down and slowly/carefully cut the plastic wrap off with scissors. It was easier to manipulate than I had been told. It was not nearly as "fragrant" as I had been told. If you're careful about your set up, this is a piece of cake. The mattress unrolled and had the velvet cover on it. Mine has a crisscross silk pattern embossed on it, very attractive. It took about two hours to fully expand and for the "new" car smell to fade. I thought it was very firm at first, and so I spent about ten minutes walking around on it, massaging the foam a bit to break it in. I absolutely love it, am very impressed with the quality and would make this purchase again. Initially I put a mattress cover on it, but later removed it. You DO want your body heat to penetrate the foam and soften it and just a nice set of egyptian cotton sheets is perfect. However when I'm not sleeping in the bed, I slide a cover across it just to protect it from my english mastiff and his drool. Apparently it's near impossible to clean spills. All you can do is spot rub and hope for the best, so an ounce of prevention .... etc. etc. GREAT BED. Reliable service.
(I have noticed this exact same mattress on Amazon for prices up to $729.00 and I'm not sure why it varies so greatly. I paid $559. + around $57.00 delivery.)its a good mattress but it is firm its not soft if you like that then this is the one for you if you like soft then this is not the oneWe sent back the Big Brand Name mattress (4K) because it wasn't comfortable until we added a 4 lb/4 inch memory foam topper. Then we needed something to put under the topper :)
Have only had for 2 months so impossible to rate long term but so far is equal or better than the returned mattress.
