Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

so i have only had the mattress for a day, so i will put in some updates later, but i just wanted to put in my review quickly in case someone was as skeptical as i was about buying a $200 mattress. This mattress seriously impressed my wife and I, we were thinking "well its probably worth the $200 gamble", and holy crap it really is! The mattress came rolled up in a nice bag with an arm strap, in about a 5 foot long cylinder (i will post pics), and weighed only about 45 lbs. I had it delivered to my work and had no problem getting it into our mid sized sedan to take it home. Once we cut it open and unrolled it it started to inflate pretty quickly, and within about 4 hours it was to the full 8", though we decided to give it a full day just because we didn't plan sleep on it that night anyway. We did not notice any smell, despite other reviews with the concern, other than when you burry your nose in it. We have always used standard spring mattresses and over the years i have owned crappy and extremely nice mattresses, but never a memory foam one. Honestly i have always disliked memory foam because i feel like i sink in and cant move around or get out of my little ditch, so that was another reason i was hesitant to purchase this particular mattress. The memory foam on this is a bit harder than most i have tested out, and that is actually one of the things i really like about it, and though it doesnt hold your indents as long as most "name brand" memory foam, it is undoubtedly the same type of product (other reviews of similar mattresses have claimed that they were just a dense standard foam) I have very severe back and neck issues, and honestly if i could afford a $2000 mattress i could certainly justify the expense, and although i have not had enough nights on this one yet, i can say that it has felt better on my back than any other mattress i have owned including a very nice "Posture Pedic" that my wife and i had a year ago. We were in the market for a mattress, and looking online i felt like the time i realized that i was an idiot for ever buying HDMI cables anywhere other than the internet. These mattress stores are just highway robbery compared to most online prices even for identical products. But then when i saw the selection of similar mattresses to this one on amazon i knew i had to give it a try, and if it sucked we planned to throw it into a guest room or something. We paid around $200 for the mattress, and even though i live in a remote city in AK, my Prime membership still provided me with free shipping for such a large item! I would highly recommend this bed to anyone, and have already been spreading word to friends and co-workers. Is it the nicest mattress i have ever tried out? No certainly not, but the price is insane, unbelievable really, i half expected to get and airbed or something, with the fine-print of my purchase highlighting that I'm a sucker, but what i got was a seriously good mattress at a crazy sweet deal! Also thought id mention that we chose this one over the similar products on Amazon because it seemed to have the most consistent reviews, and realistic description, and i hope that mine has helped to add to that.
