I did a bit of research before purchasing this mattress. I'd gotten one from Great Offer Stock several years ago and that was my first memory foam mattress. It was fine but usually slept too hot and would soften up more than I liked after I'd been in bed for a while. I bought this mattress because of the medium firmness and based on the reviews on here it seemed like it struck a happy medium between support and being too hard. I also bought this because of the aloe gel, which is supposed to be more comfortable and cooler. Overall I'd have to say that this bed hits my sweet spot. It doesn't retain too much heat, the aloe gel is a nice comfortable layer on top of a properly dense underlying foam. I weigh about 210lbs on a 6'1" frame, so I put a decent amount of load where I'm sleeping. I'm also a side sleeper, not sure if that helps anyone else reading this review. I've found the bed quite comfortable for sleeping, with sounder nights of rest. It's also quite nice for laying in and reading, watching a movie etc. An added bonus is that this mattress doesn't seem as heavy as the last memory foam I had, so moving it around to change the sheets is not too much of a strain. Shipping was fast, mattress arrived in a large, somewhat battered box. Inside was the mattress, double wrapped in plastic. It was very easy to remove the plastic and the mattress regained it's full size almost immediately. Keep in mind this is during the summer, so maybe the foam being warm helped it to expand quickly. I noticed almost no smell and by the time I slept on it later that evening, it was totally gone. Hope this helps!
Got this mattress on sale and it was worth every penny. It feels firm when you first get into bed, but then you realize that it is forming to your body, cradling you at and in all the right points. I didn't think the aloe vera layer would make a difference in body heat distribution, but it did. I wouldn't say that it leaves you cool, but definately takes away from any body temperature spikes that some people may experience when using a memory foam mattress. I would certainly recommend to anyone with back problems.
After waking up with a stiff neck, back pain, and a sore body for months my boyfriend and I decided it was time to purchase a new bed. We've been talking about memory foam mattress for quite some time and I finally found a website with affordable prices. He was a bit skeptical about buying a mattress online because he's the type to try the product before actually spending the money on it. It took weeks of persuading him that this site was actually legit. Shipping was fast and customer service was great. When the bed finally arrived it was little to no small at all and it took only a couple hours before it actually inflated to the full 11 inches. I must say, this is the bed thing we've ever spent money on. The first night we only slept for 4 hours but we woke up refreshed with absolutely no pains whatsoever. We also bought two biopedic pillows and a new comforter set. THANK-YOU, Great Offer Stock FOR THE BEST SLEEP WE'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME!!!!!!!!
UPDATE (12/30/18) - Updated from one star to three. I've had this mattress for almost 6 years now, and it has become significantly more comfortable (and less smelly) since my original review in 2013. It still holds up after all this time, but you do have to rotate it every so often if the spot you sleep in becomes too soft. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (ORIGINAL REVIEW FROM 4/13/13) I've had this bed for a month and NGL, as much as I wanted to love the mattress, I don't. Packaging: Came immediately, and shipping was ***. The mattress is heavy and comes rolled up in an awkward package (which makes it difficult to carry on your own)...once unrolled, it takes a couple of days to inflate. Quality: Not great. The mattress doesn't provide substantial support for side sleepers, and you'll have low back pain when you wake up. Mind you, it's not as bad as it was with my old mattress but still- a bed shouldn't give you ANY back pain. After initial inflation, the mattress is will feel extremely firm...but that firmness is temporary, and you'll eventually sink into the bed like quicksand. Mind you, I'm about 5'7" and 165 and I sleep alone, so it shouldn't start giving in so soon. In addition, the mattress smelled for weeks...even with a mattress cover. The odour permeated my sheets and night clothes. Ick. I will keep the mattress for now and put a topper on it until I can spring for a real tempurpedic mattress. But I advise everyone to save their money and get the brand-name mattress.
This bed is incredible, especially for the price. I had bought an 8" Serta memory foam mattress off this website before, and it was very, very firm - it was more of a foam than a memory foam mattress. The Spinal Response 11" mattress, however, feels like a memory foam mattress should: it shapes to your body and gives you better alignment while still providing adequate support. Before purchasing, I looked at the reviews and noticed some people felt it was too soft, others juuust right, and honestly, I think you need to be think to have a, um, "healthy BMI" to enjoy this bed. I think larger and overweight people will sink into the bed too much because it is squishy. I've had great sleep on this bed. In fact, I've been able to reduce how much I need to sleep by two hours. I just moved and was sleeping on an air bed before ordering a real bed, and since I got this bed, I've gone from needing to sleep seven hours to feel rested to only needing to sleep five hours to feel rested. More time in my day? Jackpot.
A good buy for the money. Yes it smelled funny for a week or so, similar to the eggcrate mattresses we used to use in the hospital. I put a quilt on mattress and then regular bedding to hide the smell. Smell is gone now. My first memory foam mattress, I got this gel top. It is more firm than I would have thought or wanted but for back support it works very well. Comes out of shipping box about 4 inches thick. Inflates itself over a few hours to the advertised 11 inches thickness. I am happy with it and would purchase another when the time comes. Much cheaper than buying a similar set up from any bed shop.
When limited to roll packed mattresses, this one definitely beats out popular contenders like many options that can be found at IKEA. It lived up to its 11" height, offering plenty of support. I do feel like I sink into the mattress more than I would have hoped. That being said, I sleep very soundly on it. It definitely is firm, but not in the way a traditional coil mattress would be. There was a noticeable off-gassing when the mattress was first unrolled. It dissipated within 48 hours. By my judgement the mattress reached its true dimensions after about 36 hours. It's cool to sleep in--the "aloe gel" does what it says it does. For true firm mattress lovers, this may be more on the medium plush side. Still, as long as it continues to conform to my body contour and reshape after a night's sleep, I'd say this mattress is a steal and an excellent choice!
I was very nervous about this purchase. Needing a low profile mattress for my mother who is in assisted living. After reading, and reading, and reading reviews of a number of mattresses, I finally decided upon this particular mattress. The hardest part then became deciding on medium firm or firm. I was afraid of it being too soft and causing her back pain with not enough support. I finally decided upon the firm. It is just that. Very firm. When you first lay on it, it is extremely firm, but then you can feel the softness of the memory foam giving and it is quite comfortable. If I had it to do over, I would probably order the medium firm, but I am still happy with the purchase. We removed the mattress from the packaging and let it expand for about 36 hours before we placed it on the bed. Don't be alarmed when you first see it. It looks a bit flat and the case that cover it looks big. But, when we came back to the mattress after the 36 hours, it was completely filled out and we were amazed. There is a little bit of a smell, but it is nothing that you wouldn't expect any time you open something new. The smell was gone by the time we placed the mattress on the bed....so don't let others' comments about that deter you from this. We were very happy with the purchase.
Purchased this mattress in full size for my 13 year-old daughter who complained daily of back pain. I understood from the product description that a box spring wasn't required. When we took it out of its packaging, I couldn't believe it would be full enough to place directly onto the bed frame and look good (eg., not too low), but it expanded very quickly and looks quite nice (a box spring would have made it impossibly high). My daughter absolutely loves it; she says she sleeps very well, and she hasn't complained of back pain since! It's incredibly comfortable - firm and soft at the same time. (I had such bad mattress envy, I ordered a gel memory foam mattress pad for my own bed, since I couldn't afford a king size of the real deal). After lying on it, my sister has decided to order one herself, as she also suffers from recurring back pain. Excellent thickness and composition at an amazing price!
I have two of these mattresses, and I've had them for over a year at this point. They are both supportive, have aged well, and have remained very comfortable. I do still manage to overheat sometimes when I sleep, but that is usually solved by keeping my house cooler. I got the "firm" both times. The mattress definitely softens with use and time but it remains very supportive and beats the pants off of name brand foam mattresses that I had previously that were ridiculously more expensive. I see absolutely no reason to ever do that again. Also, the handles are incredibly useful. I have kept one on the floor (I haven't gotten around to getting my bed put together yet). It sees daily use and the half I usually sleep on is probably a bit softer than the other half. There is not a noticeable sag or line in the middle, however. The other is sitting on a metal platform stand. They both seem to be holding up fine. The only two cons: 1 - There was a bit of a strong chemical odor on both when they were first opened. It took a while for the smell to go away, but it eventually did. 2 - It's a little odd that the firmness isn't the same between the two mattresses. The firmer one is definitely better, but the other is fine and works perfectly well as a guest mattress.
This is literally the most comfortable mattress of my life. I switched from spring mattresses to foam mattresses about 20 years ago, but this one is the BEST of all foam mattresses. I have had this mattress for 3 years. My back and body have never felt better. I just ordered in a twin as well to replace an older mattress on my son's bed.
I've had this mattress for a couple of weeks now and I love it! My mom as a much more expensive memory foam mattress that is much firmer and she loves it, but I like that this one is softer. It seems firm for the first few seconds, but sinks down quite quickly and quite a bit. I don't know if everyone would love how soft it is, but I like it. I definitely sleep better on this than I did on my traditional mattress; I move around less, if at all, during the night and wake up feeling good. Also, it didn't smell at all and it expanded within a few hours. I will update my review if I encounter any problems with it in the future, but as of now, I am extremely happy with it.
THE Bed LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! The memory foam mattress is the BEST BED Once you sleep on it Never go back on his mattress.
I bought this mattress for my daughter, she complained that it was hard. I told her to give it time it will get better. It never did and now it has a lump in the middle. My daughter is 5' 4in and weights 104lb. There should not be a lump. I also purchased the SwissLux 8-inch Twin-size European-style Memory Foam Mattress for my sons trundle bed. It is awesome. He loves it. It is soft yet not to soft. I tried my daughters and she is right it is too firm for memory foam. You don't get a good nights rest, I tossed and turned all night. I will have to wait a little will but I will get her the SwissLux European-style Memory Foam Mattress in full.
What an excellent quality mattress and what an awesome price! The mattress arrived in good shape - rolled into a tight bundle. There was no noticeable smell as mentioned in other reviews and it puffed up perfectly within hours. I ordered the medium firmness and the mattress is true to its label - medium firm but with a luxurious moldable gel surface that perfectly conforms to and cushions your body. I bought this for my 11 year old daughter who had outgrown her twin spring mattress and she just loves it. Sleeps comfortably and deeply all night with no stiffness or soreness the next morning. I highly recommend this mattress - and you cannot beat it for the price!
This is an awesome memory foam mattress. I’ve purchased it in 2013 and sleep on it every night. It still as comfortable as the first night. It doesn’t get too hot at night. It’s far better than Spring mattress that makes squeaking noise after many years of sleeping on it.
I love this mattress and it was so easy to order it from Great Offer Stock. The mattress didn't smell funny like some reviews suggest. Highly recommend this to everyone! I had back surgery and it is tough for me to get comfortable and not be in pain but I am never in pain on this mattress. It is perfect and is the reason I love it so much. Also, when ever I have my girl friend over to stay the night she sleeps so well. So do I - every night. The gel keeps me cool (I am a hot sleeper). When my friends are in my room (I have 4 roommates) they are very quick to relax or lounge on it while I sit in my computer chair doing work (I produce music and have a tech start up so I am often asking their opinion on projects, etc.) They always tell me how great it is. Three of my roommates purchased one very similar to this. They chose to go a little softer but bought from the same brand. I think they all secretly wish they had mine although they say they love theirs as well. I definitely like mine better.
We never slept on a memory foam mattress before, love it!!!! Supportive yet soft and comfortable. I was afraid of sweating but it is actually foolish! Would recommend this mattress.
You know the old saying, you get what you pay for. Well... I was on a tight budget, hadn't sleep in a real bed since my separation so I figured at this price, it's still a step up for me. When I go to bed at night, I DON'T MOVE all night long. My body sinks into the gel and I wake up without all the aches and pains I'm used to, not to mention the sweat factor. I usually wake up soak and wet in the middle of the night, now just my head sweats.. I need a Gel pillow to take care of that. I didn't get the smell everyone talks about but when I first layed down on the bed it seems firmer than I like but it turns out, the firm mattress on a traditional coil spring is far different from this kind of firm. I bought the medium firmness and it's perfect.
I love this mattress. Literally. Is like sleeping on a marshmallow. I bought the medium firmness, as the firm memory foam that I was replacing was not comfortable at all. Love it.
