Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I researched, and tested in person, a bunch of different mattresses. I found this one on a whim when I searched online, I was skeptical buying online without being able to test it, but I trusted the reviews. I’m glad I did. PACKAGING: The package is pretty heavy, I’m a strong, young guy and it wasn’t a back breaker but I could see some people struggle with it. After unwrapping it, it puffed up to full size within the first half hour, I guess I’m one of the lucky ones. I’ve seen it take a few hours in some reviews. FIRMNESS: I laid on about 10 different memory foam mattresses during my search, this is definitely on the softer side. Everyone has different interpretations of “plush” or “firm”, but this one is definitely a little on the softer side. You’ll feel yourself sinking into the foam, so if you like firmer mattresses, this one probably isn’t for you. HEAT: I never knew heat was a thing with memory foam mattresses until I read reviews, but I kind of got the hint when I noticed “cool” being in a lot of the advertising. Well it’s a real thing. I definitely felt the heat, I like being warm, so it didn’t bother me personally, although I did have to take my comforter off at one point because I was sweating. I could definitely see it bothering some people. PRICE: I thought it was a great deal. Bob’s Discount Furniture wanted $200 more for a generic, no name brand, version of the same thing. Sealy is a great brand, and the price is very reasonable based off of the quality and the brand. SMELL: I’ve seen some reviews really complaining about smell on other mattresses. It has a slight “new plastic” smell, but it’s definitely not overwhelming or unbearable. I stopped noticing it after the first few minutes. OVERALL: I can deal with the minor issues like the heat. As soon as I laid on this mattress I could feel my back and shoulders loosening up. I can sleep on my stomach now, pain free, but can’t do that on most other mattressses. It’s a great buy, and it really helped with my pain/discomfort! Just be aware of the heat and firmness, I’m a very easy going person, not picky, I could see those being issues for some people!
