Signature Sleep Contour 8-Inch Mattress

Signature Sleep  Contour 8 Inch Twin MattressThis mattress (as I sit with my legs sprawled across it) inspired me to write my first online review in probably two years (I can get a bit lazy, hence the leg sprawling). I recently graduated from college; moving out of my parents' place and supporting myself and being a contributing member of society and other dumb stuff like that apparently come along with this. So, I moved to my own apartment, and for the first time in my life, had to purchase a bed. As a 22-year-old moving to Chicago to go to grad school with nearly no money, I was thinking cheap. But I had been told that "cheap" is a relative term when you're looking for mattresses; most of my friends had payed upwards of 400 bucks for a "cheap" box spring/mattress set. Thankfully, in a twist of fate, I went to Amazon and searched "mattress."

Lo and behold, there's a 180-dolla (sorry folks, price has increased since I bought it) mattress, just sitting there, all like "Hey! Look at me! I'm a mattress! On Amazon.com! Yep! The same site you buy overpriced protein powder and used Stephen King books from!" Needless to say, I did a little research and found the catch I was looking for: it comes shrink-wrapped, rolled up in a duffel bag. "Ummm...yeah, no," I thought. But, just for fun, I went to YouTube and searched something along the lines of "video of unwrapping bed that comes wrapped in plastic that you have to cut open and it inflates itself." After watching a video or two, I was astonished to see that they really do magically turn into a soft-yet-firm, fluffy, plush, bouncy lil' mattress. With the added benefit of knowing I'd be able to watch it inflate before my very eyes, I ordered.

After about a month and a half of sitting, sleeping, studying, reading, lounging, laughing, crying (I watched Titanic while laying on it, so sue me), and sulking because I have strep throat on this mattress, I decided it's only fair for me to write a review. Let me tell ya, folks: this mattress rules. I bought the cheapest bed frame from Walmart (which, may I add, is amazing), along with a bed skirt, mattress topper, and jersey sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond, and I swear this is the best bed I've ever slept on. It's soft and bouncy enough to remind you, "Hey! Look at me! I'm a real bed! With real springs! Go ahead, bounce on me!" but it's also firm enough to be like "Hey! Look at me! I provide support for the lower back you complain to all of your friends and family about all day long! I'm not like those lousy air mattresses! Go ahead, lay down and feel my support!" Also, don't listen to the people who complain that you "fall off the side." Yes, there is no wiring around the sides of the mattress, but I sit on the edge of my bed all the time and I wouldn't have ever noticed (I'm a 185 lb male -yes I do cry from Titanic SO SUE ME). These complaints actually made me nervous about purchasing, but honestly, it's truly negligible.

There literally isn't anything I can think of to complain about with this mattress. There were no smells, it's the right size, it supports the weight of two people, the springs don't make any noise, and, most importantly of all, I've had some amazing nights' sleep on this baby. I love sleep and I'm a snob for a comfy bed; I'd highly recommend this one.

Disclaimer: Bed does not actually talk.

We purchased this for my 8 year old sons new bunkbed. It came shrunk wrapped in a large, tubular duffel type bag. The packaging protecting the unit very well in shipping.

This is a well padded mattress that does not feel springy. My son had a pillow top mattress before receiving this one yet he says the new one is much more comfortable.

I was somewhat skeptical about buying this mattress, but I went for it based on all the positive reviews. First off, the packaging amazed me. I never would have guessed a twin mattress could fit in the package this mattress came in. I cut it out of the duffle bag, unrolled it while it was still in the plastic, and then cut the plastic and watched the mattress "inflate" to full size. Pretty cool stuff. We are using this mattress on a platform bed without a box spring for our daughter, but my mother in law spent two weeks on it. So, works well for kids and adults! For the price and free delivery, I dont think this can be beat.

How do they do that? It came in a large duffle bag! How can such a nice, firm innerspring mattress be compressed into a duffle bag? It is very nice. I'm a large woman and foam wouldn't work for me, but this is a very comfortable bed for a heavy adult. I was impressed by the total package.

maybe this is a futon mattress, but I got it for a twin frame, and I wouldn't have known the difference. The coils are comfortable and a bit on the "firm" side, which is fine for me.

It came vacuum packed and stuffed in a cloth tube carrier, which was a bit tight and difficult to remove. Once the plastic wrap was cut (be careful not to cut the mattress), the air rushed in and the mattress popped into shape, ready to go.

There is a slight "new mattress" smell, but it doesn't seem overpowering to me.

I can't speak for its longevity, yet, since I just got it. But what you won't get here is a 10-year warranty or something like that, but for the price, I am willing to forego that and hope it lasts long enough. I also used the free shipping and saved quite a bit.
