Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

10/02/2011 - I must've read over 200 reviews when looking to purchase a new mattress and decided t go with the temperpedic. I have slept on very expensive temperpedic beds and knew that it was worth it for me to get one. I was on a budget and hoping to get more bang for my buck. I have a sleep disorder and DO NOT sleep well. I am a light sleeper and will wake from noise or movement in the bed, etc. I waited to write this review after sleeping on it for approximately 3 weeks. I have uploaded my images to this page. I ordered it and with prime membership paid $3.99 for next day shipping. It arrived in a box that i was able to get upstairs with some help (here's no handles on box, it's awkward and weighs 50-70lbs). I opened box carefully and carefully removed plastic liner. I had purchased two sheets of heavy duty plywood ($20 a sheet from Home Depot and they cut it for me). I used the wood to create a platform base on my Queen bed frame (see uploaded pictures). After unrolling mattress and placing it on wood, t was not a full 12inches yet, but it was already fluffing up to 9inches. There was minimal odor. I left overhead fans on and windows open for 1 day. Next day my boyfriend and I slept on it. I didn't even notice him toss or turn. I know it's not the same as a $2,000 to $5,000 temperpedic, but it is damn close enough for me. It feels great and I am sleeping like a dream. My boyfriend and mother were impressed with price, quality and ease of set up and shipping. After reading reviews, I chose this bed because it had the least amount of negative feedback. I am someone who has used pillowtop mattresses in the past, I do not like a super firm mattress. I think this is a nice mix of support, but comfort. My boyfriend and I usually differ some in our mattress taste, but he likes this one. He doesn't even feel me get out of bed in the morning before him. I don't notice if he gets up either. The bamboo cover sheet protector is nice so I didn't buy a separate mattress cover. I took several pictures from tie I received it, to set up, they are uploaded and should be able to help give you a visual of what to expect. If your looking for bang for your buck and great night's sleep, then I would highly suggest this mattress. 02/20/2012 - UPDATE - I still really love this bed. I sleep really well on it. It felt a bit softer now after a few months worth of use. I just asked my fiance his thoughts for an update. He said he liked it, then didn't and now likes it again. He has been slow to adjust to the temperpedic feel, but does like it. Our only complaint? We wish we got a King size! Still very happy at almost 7 months in.
