Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've had this mattress for about a month now, and I really do love it! It's so much better than my old pillow top mattress, and I haven't been waking up with back pain anymore! I have a lot of trouble sleeping, to the point where I would actually dread going to bed because I knew it would mean a night of tossing and turning, not really sleeping well at all, and waking up with pain and numbness. Since switching from a pillow top to memory foam, almost all those areas are gone! I sleep better, wake up refreshed, and have no more back pain and less numbness in my hands. In fact, my boyfriend even told me I've been in such a deep sleep lately that when he goes to bed after me he can't wake me up enough to have me move over! That's saying a lot for someone with such severe sleep problems that any tiny noise used to wake me up! Before ordering this mattress, my boyfriend and I went to a mattress store and tried out all kinds of mattresses, from standard spring (blah), pillow tops (ouch), tempurpedic (hated how it felt like you were setting in cement), standard memory foam (nice), and cool gel memory foam (amazing!). Our favorite was the coolsense memory foam mattress by Sealy Posturepedic, but it would set us back over $2k, and we didn't have that. So we searched online for something similar: a queen sized memory foam mattress with cool gel foam, and this one came back as the closest match with the best reviews for about a quarter of the price of the Sealy! After sleeping on the Dynasty Cool Breeze for a month, I noticed a huge difference between this mattress and my old KingKoil pillow top: I sleep better (I used to toss and turn all night on the pillow top), and I wake up without back pain! I used to wake up all stiff and sore after (restlessly) sleeping on my pillow top. So, HUGE improvement there! However, this memory foam mattress is definitely FIRM. Not, however, like the tempurpedic, where it's hard as a rock when you get on it and your body slowly sinks into the mattress like you're setting into in wet cement, but just on the firmer side. I do wish it was a little bit softer, but it's still comfy. Though I should note that my boyfriend doesn't think it's too hard. He thinks it's perfect! It's summer, and we're in a heat wave, and I still sleep with a light quilt at night and haven't overheated at all, and I hear most memory foam mattresses trap body heat, which we definitely didn't want! However, it isn't as cool as the Sealy CoolSense, which felt instantly cool the moment you lay down on it. But, again, I didn't have an issue with overheating, so I'm happy with it. The pillows I didn't like at all. I'm a stomach sleeper, and they're just too firm and too thick for me, and not a pillow you can cuddle with. My boyfriend loves them though. He sleeps on his side, and he loves how cool they feel under his head. So, personal preference on those I suppose. Sorry for the lengthy review, but hope it helped! In a nutshell, I love this mattress! It's a comfortable mattress with a gorgeous cover for a very reasonable price! I would definitely recommend this product :)
