Great but Needs Setup Time
This is a really nice mattress. We had an old sofa bed in our family room that we use as a guest bedroom. I started noticing my in-laws were bringing an air mattress on their visits and quietly complaining about how they're sleeping. So I replaced the old mattress with this one and also addressed some stretched out springs on the flat spring. They're very happy and can't thank me enough. They've even stopped using the egg crate and additional padding we had on the old mattress and left on this one. They didn't need it.
My only criticism is the setup. The mattress is delivered vacuum-sealed in plastic. When you break the seal and put it on the bed, the mattress expands with the change in air pressure. As it expands it gets softer and more comfortable. This is fine but takes a little while (like a day). It also outgasses a lot of volatile organic chemicals (VOC) that were sealed inside the packaging and the mattress itself. The mattress basically smells like glue or spray paint fumes for about a week. You need to air this out before you let your guests sleep on it. It is not ready to go out of the package immediately before someone has to sleep on it.
