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.
