Bodipedic Memory Foam 10-inch Mattress (King)

Rating

Bed arrived 3 days after placing the order. My wife and I placed the mattress on the box spring, cut the plastic and the mattress "grew" to full size in about 3 minutes. I had read the reviews about the odors but I did not detect any odor. We slept on the bed 2 or 2 1/2 hours after removing it from the box and find it to be equal to the "high price spread".

I previously reviewed this product about 5 months ago and was very disappointed because the mattress had become very hard during the so-called degassing period giving it a one star. I also noted that there was possibly a chance that the mattress might soften up over a period of time. After several months of usage, my wife and I did notice some softening but were still less than enthusiastic about it. At that point, we also obtained a new Tempurpedic and started using that instead and placed the Bodipedic mattress into the guest bedroom. After having some very warm nights recently, we slept a few days in the cooler guest bedroom and on the Bodipedic again. At that point, we found the Bodipedic much more to our liking due to additional softening. Later, we had guests that slept on the Bodipedic for three nights, and they found the mattress to be quite acceptable as well. Interestingly, when our Tempurpedic came to us, it was also a much harder mattress than we had found in the stores. Over several months, it has also softened up a little bit and is probably still softening. At this point, while the two mattresses are different in feel, I would be hard pressed to say that one is significantly better than the other. The point here is that when buying a foam mattress, the feel may change significantly over many months possibly to the better or possibly to the worse. If our Bodipedic does not significantly change in feel from the condition it is now in, then it is a much better purchase than I first believed, but only time will tell. If one is looking for a cheaper alternative to high-priced foam mattresses like the Tempurpedic, this mattress may be the way to go.

Prior to getting this mattress, I had heard so many positive reviews about Memory Foam mattresses. I had been experiencing back pains for quite some time and believed the mattress would have a significant affect on it. The first few nights of sleep were incredible. The back pain went away and I was sleeping great. However, after the first 4-5 days the foam didn't seem to expand any longer and the mattress felt stiffer. My back pains are back and I completely regret buying this mattress. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

After examining all of the reviews on this mattress, I was a little concerned about the last review where the individual indicated that the mattress was too firm and nothing like the first mattress that she had purchased. I made a leap of faith that her purchase was an aberration, but have found out that this is not the case. It is noted on the package and on the website that it is very important to open the package within 72 hours of receiving it in order for the mattress to expand to the full 10 inches. I was home when the package was delivered and opened it within minutes (a king size). Initially, the mattress expanded to about 8 inches in several hours. I spent about 20 minutes on the mattress and was delighted that it felt much like the Tempur-Pedic Rhapsody. It was soft and molded to the body. The first two nights that I slept on the mattress I was pleased with the purchase. On the second day, however, it was noticed that the mattress was not expanding anymore and was still about 2 inches short of the stated size. By the third day, the mattress was becoming harder. Each day thereafter, it became harder and more firm and no longer molded to the body. Both my wife and I experienced back pains from it and are very disappointed. The bedroom that we use is well heated and I do not think room temperature has affected this mattress. I suppose, after time, this mattress may soften, but I have a hard time believing that it will return to the state it was in during the first two days that we had it. We will possibly purchase a topper and see if we can salvage the mattress, but do not recommend it to anyone at this point.

I purchased this bed in a full size 6 months prior to purchasing the king size. I LOVED the full size. The comfort level was amazing and I had less tossing and turning and I didn't have a backache anymore. I trusted that it would be the same for the king. Not so. It was more firm than the full size version. It did NOT form to your body like it should. Very stiff. I don't know if the manufacturer had changed and/or they changed the type of material that was used. What I do know is that I would be cautious of purchasing a bed you can not return. However, I did purchased the Sealy 4 inch memory foam mattress topper offered on the site and now I wake up with zero backaches.
