I ordered this mattress just after Christmas; my boyfriend and I wanted to upgrade to a queen from a full and after months of research, we decided on this mattress. We did not want to spend more than *** on a mattress; finding this mattress around the *** price point was phenomenal. Believe me, you do not need to spend thousands of dollars to get a high-quality mattress set. The mattress shipped very fast. We un-boxed it and let it sit out for a good 48 hours before we slept on it. I would definitely recommend letting the mattress air out before sleeping on it. It does have a smell to it; I was considering giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the smell, but the comfort really outweighs the smell. It's not a terrible smell, and maybe I just have a sensitive nose, but even after having it for about a month I can still smell that industrial stink you get with new furniture. Anyways, in terms of comfort, this mattress is very comfortable! We ordered the "soft" option. Our old bed was probably 10-15 years old and probably wasn't the best for my back. I would often wake up with a stiff lower back, but after getting this memory foam mattress, I can tell that my lower back stiffness has subsided. Overall, this is a great quality mattress and I think it is very comparable to my sister's $5,000 TempurPedic mattress! It is definitely worth the money!
