Comfort Dreams Select-A-Firmness 9-inch Twin-size Memory Foam Mattress

I purchased the queen size med. firm and love it so much that we bought the twin size for my 12 year old son and threw out his regular spring mattress. He is very happy and gets a good nights rest! The only problem we have with it is 1) we have a hard time waking up in the mornings and 2) we won't sleep on any other mattress!! I HIGHLY recommend it. Thank you OverStock.com!!

I bought this mattress for my soon to be 4 yo son getting his "big boy" bed (from a toddler bed). So to put that in complete context: I can be a bit obsessive when it comes to major purchases for my children... I had ordered a twin size "captain's" bed for him already - the exact same one his 8 yo brother has (from Gothic Cabinet Craft - repeat purchase no brainer), but when it came time to pick the mattress I couldn't figure out what to do. Last time we'd gotten the highest quality (traditional spring) twin mattress carried by our local Costco (which purchase was the product of a lot of research time and effort and was definitely the right choice) -- not cheap by any means but at least I had the comfort of feeling like I was getting value for my money (or that if for some reason I ended up not feeling that way then I could return it and get something else). But this time Costco didn't have any twin mattresses without box springs and because my son's bed is a platform bed, we only needed the mattress. So I poked around online for a few days and then went into the local Sleepy's. I left Sleepy's feeling some strange combination of confused, patronized, swindled (though I hadn't purchased anything), and dirty. $300 "entry-level" seemed unpersuasive. And $800 seemed nuts. Despite reasonable background knowledge I didn't understand what he said about the coils and foam and what another $500 was buying and had basically had it with that aspect of the process. I wanted the absolute best of whatever he actually needed, without paying for anything ridiculous. So I went home and called my friend and asked her what her children sleep on. She said it didn't matter, because her fiance had the absolutely perfect mattress and she would definitely buy it for her own kids and that's what I should get. And he got it on Overstock. On what? Overstock. Come on, that's for wallets and coat trees. No, really. Hmmm... Her fiance conducts can be described as only very slight short of full-fledged investigations into major product purchases. And he brings a lot of intelligence to the table. So fine, send me the link. Well the mattress is awesome. First of all it comes rolled up, very substantially compressed, in a fat tube. This packaging makes it possible to move without 2 or 3 irritated people. I (a mere girl) slid it across a house and up a flight of stairs by myself. It isn't light, but it's doable. Nervous about putting my sweet flower on something that could (according to some reviews) emit offending odors for weeks, I dutifully unrolled it in a spare room, cracked the skylight, stayed for a little while watching the mattress seemingly inflate, sniffed around for offending odors, smelled none, and left. And it's a good thing I tightly closed the door. Because my cat can smell a new snuggy spot from two floors away. She once, through enthusiastic nesting, ruined a partially hidden new sweater faster than I could shower. And the mattress would have been toast. Because mere hours from when I'd left it I came back to find a full-size, extremely comfortable, nice looking, odor-free mattress. In fact since I'd thought it needed days to air out, there were a few days of my husband closing the skylight (apparently because there was no smell) and me opening it (because who knew when those things would escape their mattress confines?). And my son loves his new bed, mattress definitely included. I'd think it was too firm for me (we sleep on Kingsdown, bought 9 years ago from that spooky Sleepy's), but it's hard to tell because his mattress is completely enclosed in a (very thin, but still) vinyl case (covered by an intentionally relatively thin, 100% cotton "mattress protector," in turn covered by a high quality, 100% cotton sheet) . (I by the way think it's crazy to buy more than a camping mat for a child without a vinyl mattress case -- last week my 8 yo got sick and that would have been it for his mattress but for the case. Most children going to a twin or larger bed for the first time are coming from a crib or toddler bed in which they've almost certainly already been sleeping on vinyl as some layer.) But anyway, it's hard to tell for sure if it would be too firm for me. It's perfect for him. (And when his babysitter sat on it she said, "Is this Posteurpedic? I'm jealous.") So, I would definitely recommend this for a child and for an adult who is OK with a little firm-ness or lack thereof in one direction or the other (or is at least familiar which memory foam beds, which I wasn't). The only negative thing I could say, if looking for one, is that it may be 3/4 of an inch to 1 inch shorter than a "regular" mattress might be. Regardless, it's an excellent value. Really excellent.

I was somewhat skeptical of purchasing a memory foam mattress online but after receiving the mattress and sleeping on it my skepticism disappeared. I was glad I ordered the 9" mattress. I do not miss the box spring set I had, and ithe mattress fits nicely on the platform bed I also purchased from overstock.

I had ordered a firm in the Queen size and was very happy-What happened to the twin size?! Not firm at all-if you like a soft cloud to envelope you as you sleep, buy the firm! I can only imagine what the soft is like.
