Simply wonderful! I'm finally getting a good night's rest.
I was looking to replace an old and very expensive mattress. Not wanting to spend another $1200, I decided to take a chance and buy this bed. I'm so glad I did!
This bed is so comfortable and supportive, which is very important if you have lower back problems, as I do. I've had trouble with memory foam in the past; some beds were too soft and offered no support, while other were too hard, and it was like sleeping on a rock. This foam seems to have just the right density - not too hard, not too soft.
The bed was heavier than I expected, and was a bit difficult to get into the house on my own. It arrived packed like an enormous bedroll with all of the air sucked out. It weighed about 40 pounds and was about 6ft long. I used a hand truck to get it into the house. I managed to hoist it onto the bedframe, removed the canvas, and then cut off the plastic wrapping. Then I unrolled the bed and waited for the mattress to inflate.
The tags warned that it might take 24 hours to fully inflate, and that the foam might have a slight scent, and might need to be aired-out for a few days. I was a bit alarmed by the latter warning. I suffer from periodic migraines, and have an extreme sensitivity to chemical scents, so as a precaution I opened both my bedroom windows, and turned on a fan to air-out the room. In the end, it really wasn't necessary, as the foam scent was barely discernible. Better still, it didn't take 24 hours for the bed to inflate. My bed had expanded to 6 inches within just two hours and had expanded to its full 8 inches within six hours. I was able to sleep on the mattress, without any problems, later that same day. I enjoyed the first sound sleep I'd had in months. It was so comfortable I didn't want to get up the next morning.
UPDATE: 1/20/2013 - I love this mattress so much, I'm buying my mother one for her birthday.
