A few months later...
I cannot vouch for the durability of this mattress because we have been sleeping on it for a relatively short time.
I can say that it arrived fully in tact and unpacking it was easy. Very simple instruction are included. Be careful not to cut the mattress as you slit open the plastic vacuum packing.
We both like our mattress FIRM. And this mattress was firm. It does have that nice layer of latex, so that allows just enough top softness to allow you to settle in nicely as you lay down. You can sleep on your side, yet there is enough firmness there to prevent you from sinking too deeply into the mattress.
UPDATE(ALMOST TWO YEARS LATER!) Me and my wife are still in love with this mattress. We also have two vented latex foam pillows we love. I think it has "broken in" meaning the latex foam has settled into a soft yet firm top. Just enough give to contour your body, yet not allow you to sink too deeply into the mattress. The 3 inch layer of latex really does work well together with the very firm foam underlay. Together they provide a very good firm and comfortable bed. In summer I do not feel the mattress retains too much heat and in the winter I definitely do not notice that my bed is cold...we use great blankets. I just got back from a year in South Korea and I missed this mattress(and the lady that shares it with me of course). I don't know if I will remember to come back in ten years and let you know how this works out. But thus far, a good purchase.
The "new mattress smell" is definitely there. If you follow the instructions, and let it air out for 48 hours, that should not be an issue.
This mattress is nice and plush, just as they say. Full 10 inches. Very good support. We have a wood frame bed with a full set of slats, which is what this mattress really needs.
The cover that comes on the mattress is nice and soft and appears well made and durable.
For the price, we are pleased with this mattress. If it last even half as long is the warranty, we would be well pleased. Far better than a coil spring mattress in the same price class.
There are many foam mattresses on the market. I suggest you research carefully before choosing the type you will buy.
We wanted a firm mattress with a cool feel for the warm summers. This one fit our needs exactly.
Not all foam mattresses are the same. Memory foam has its disadvantages. So does latex. But they all have advantages. You MUST consider the benefits and pitfalls of each one before you buy.
UPDATE: Now after almost 4 years I was writing another review and I thought it would be a good time to update my review here. My wife has started complaining about my BED FRAME. Not the mattress!! She wants me to update the FRAME! The mattress continues to give us great comfort and rest. Now over the years we have had this mattress we have stayed at other people's homes and hotels..even slept for a week on a cruise ship. Every time, when we return home, one of us always comments on how good it is to come back to our bed. This thing is comfortable. NO SPRINGS to poke through and the latex layer with it's firm underlay continues to prove how comfortable and durable it is. At this point I must say...this mattress is an outstanding purchase for a firm mattress want. Now I gotta go take a nap!
