Great Mattress. I couldn't be happier
I've had this mattress for a couple months now. I hesitated writing a review until I had many sleep cycles on it. I honestly couldn't be any happier. These foam beds do get warm if you don't anticipate temperature changes. I have yet to sleep on it during an 80 degree summer night but I imagine I'll be able to plan for it, I hope. I like the weight of a heavy blanket, even in the summer, so I'll be shopping for a loose knit heavy top if the one I have is too warm.
I have had surgery on both of my knees and my family history has a run of degenerative spinal disk disease. I haven't had a great nights sleep in decades. I've had good nights sleep but not a great nights sleep. With this mattress I have had the best sleep over the last couple months than I have had since I was a kid. I still flip-flop a little, not because I need to move from pain but just finding the right spot. The bed does bounce back up after I move. I did think at first the bed had memory after I moved but I've come to learn that the areas I move off of plump back up within 8 to 10 seconds.
The manufacturing smell disappeared within a week. I haven't noticed any "memory" of my last nights rest when I crawl in for another sleep.
The mattress does weigh a good amount and it plumped up rather quick after unpacking. The box it came in had a couple tares when it arrived but nothing was damaged. As far as it's shipment is concerned, you would really have to go all "Samsonite gorilla" on it to do any kind of damage. These kinds of mattresses are so heavy and dense, one would have to either shoot it or use a machete on it to do any damage. The shipping dates given were exact. Something this big and heavy isn't going to arrive tomorrow, unless you live next door.
I'm in a profession that has caused me to move from state to state many many times and I usually get a hand-me-down bed from family or friends. This is the first "new" mattress I have purchased in two decades. I am very happy with it.
Thumbs up in my book.
