What's Been Missing in My Life...
For years I have had the same queen-size pillow top mattress. It was fine, until I was pregnant about 2 years ago. Ever since then, I woke up with an incredibly stiff back, even months after having my son. It got to the point where my husband and I were both sleeping on the couch--even that was more comfortable.
Finally, a few weeks ago, I logged on to good ole greatofferstock.com to look for a much needed computer chair when I saw there was a big bedding sale about to end. I looked through the different mattresses, compared prices, and read review after review. I ended up ordering this mattress, in a size smaller (my husband works nights so we are rarely asleep at the same time anyways) and we could not be happier! As it is, we still have not gotten a platform bed frame, but even on the floor this mattress is more amazing than I had imagined.
I was hesitant about purchasing a memory foam mattress as well. I tend to need a decently firm mattress due to my back issues, and I was concerned this type would not offer enough support. We had slept on one when we visited my brother-in-law and although it was not terrible, it was strange. I checked the details of this particular mattress and it says it provides "medium firmness" so I went for it.
It's been maybe two weeks since our mattress was delivered and I can absolutely say we are more than satisfied customers. The mattress quickly expanded to it's proper thickness, I'd say in less than the 48 hours it says it may take. I have slept soundly through the night and have not once woken up with an aching back. There is some give to the top layer, so it is does not feel like you are sleeping on a wooden board, but it's just enough "sinking" effect to have the mattress form to your curves while providing support wherever you need it most. We aren't the only one's in love either--all three of our kids lay on our bed every chance they get! Our 14 month old is napping in it with Daddy as I write this review!
I read many, many reviews during my search for our perfect mattress, so I just wanted to contribute and hopefully help someone else make their decision. Overall, this mattress is an excellent choice if you are looking for comfort and support, all at a reasonable price.
