Great Mattress. True to Size and Great Sleep Awaits!
Classic Brands Cool Gel Ultimate Gel Memory Cal King Bed is a phenomenal purchase. This was an odd order experience as I was tracking it like a hawk ending in a "ready for pickup" cue from a Post Office in another state. That aside, I did not pick it up. Amazon sent another in its stead to my door step thankfully. This comes in a large box. When I say large I mean tall. It weighed approximately 180 pounds. I had to move it in and up my stairs. Not bad for a mid-age 165 lb. man. I highly suggest to work as a team with someone else though. The contents inside have a heavy clear plastic wrap/thick outer clear layer of plastic with instructions laid underneath clearly defining the opening of the mattress. Think "giant cannoli" and that sums up the look of this machine rolled wonder of a package. The 2 included pillows are not much to bark about as I would use them back support or a throw of some sort. They were rolled on the inside of the package. The outer layer of the mattress is not elegant but it is well made. Put a sheet cover on and forget about it. Some people let this rise back to its normal size for 24-72 hours but that is not necessary. That is a statement by the manufacturer saying this item will reach its full potential within that time. It however did so in 3 hours flat. 14 inch is what I observed and I will add photos soon. The smell that some people talked about was minor at best. I turned on the fan while letting the mattress regain its shape and no traces or hints of it were left as I put top sheet on. This Cal King is big and it fully filled out my bed frame which the Sealy I had previously left minor gaps. Good on Classic Brands. There was a weird very hard to notice green stain on the side of the bed I noticed but it was very faint. Not to worried but definitely look your bed over and document before moving forward with sleeping on it. The bed is firm. A lot more firm than I anticipated. That being said it is still very comfortable.
More to follow (Pictures and Checkin over time). Hope this helps. I think it was great bargain and upgrade for my body and sleep.
