We were hesitant and were reluctant to buy a "Unique Memory Foam mattress" site unseen or tested in person thru an online purchase - especially when we were plopping down over $500. on a King Size version - BUT after reading so very many positive 5 star reviews about this product, we decided to take the plunge. We have been sleeping on the mattress for over a week now and all my husband and I can say is "OH MY GOD - this is THE best mattress experience we have ever had". To read in Overstock's advertisement that this mattress "will provide deep, relaxing sleep; The Pillow top provides the ultimate in Memory Foam surface feel and comfort; Uncomfortable pressure-points common in most innerspring mattresses is eliminated" is a HUGE understatement. We could only hope that half of it were true. Well, it is ALL true and then some. We are a couple who have been together for over 25 years. Being "baby boomers" we have come to distrust so much that you read in ads and what the advertisement claims the product is capable of doing. Well, this mattress has certainly come thru and has restored our faith in advertisement...at least here on Overstock.com.
One only has to have lived thru many years with the tossing and turning of another partner in bed with you to know that reading the statement "Say goodbye to the motion transfer you've learned to live with" would be a dream in itself if it were true. Well, it's true. Quite frankly, I didn't think there was a mattress capable of having a bowling ball dropped on the bed and not being able to notice it if you were lying down on it, but I know this mattress would withstand the movement as I no longer feel my husband moving at night (nor he of me moving at night). What the advertisement neglects to mention is you don't hardly move at all during the sleep cycle on this mattress. Once you lie on it, you become so comfortable you can forget about reading in bed or watching TV for any length of time as you are so comfortable, you are asleep in less then 10 mins.
The beauty of never having to remember to turn the mattress is another plus along with being able to use our existing box springs without having to incur the cost of new ones was a selling point for us also.
When we received the mattress - in less then a week - it was packaged exceptionally well. My husband and I were able to carry the mattress from the front door to the bedroom without any problems. Once unbagged according to the directions,(AND of note - there was NO SMELL whatsoever; a large concern for us as I am asthmatic and have a horrible time in the winter months) we put the mattress on the bed and left for work.
When we returned there was no smell whatsoever and the mattress had completely puffed to a nice 13 inches (not 14 inches as noted but who cares about 1 inch). I was concerned our current sheets wouldn't fit but they did with no issues, but they had come off of our Thomasville Pillow Top Mattress and were on the "deep pocket" size already. This is certainly something you may want to take in to consideration if you are thinking of purchasing this particular mattress - it is thick. Just buy some deep pocket sheets if you don't already have some while you are waiting for the mattress to arrive.
Sum total of it all: We have slept so well since the first night on this mattress. We wake up with more energy and my husband's back pain is no longer an issue upon rising. He is so pleasantly pleased.
Do yourself a favor, especially if you are like us where we product review for months on end when we are going to be making a major purchase, get this mattress while it is still for sale at Overstock.com. You really, really, really, can't go wrong.
