Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I know there were not many reviews yet for this mattress and so I wanted to give you my initial thought in case it might help you in your comparison to other similar products. I'll update my review when I've had it longer. The mattress arrived two days ago rolled up and folded into a box. It was wrapped in plastic and tape. When my husband unraveled it I looked in skepticism at what was before me, a wrinkled 1 inch thick bumpy piece of fabric. I was feeling very worried about my purchase. What happened over the next hour boggles my mind. Truly, I wish I could watch it again. The fabric expanded and A giant mattress was before me. I would say within the hour it was about 12 inches thick. The fabric was very clean and a bright white color. The material was soft to the touch. After reading many amazon reviews of similar mattresses I moved on to my most important criteria. How did this thing smell? I saw lots of comments of other mattresses in this category having disgusting odors for days or weeks until they aired out. My sniffer is very sensitive so I was concerned. I hopped on the mattress and took my first big whiff- nothing alarming at all. Pleasant smells. The paperwork that came with the mattress said it would take about 48 hours for the mattress to be fully expanded but it was ok to sleep on right away. W gave it a try and have slept on it two nights thus far. My husband slept perfectly on it both nights, no complaints. Of the two of us he is the easiest to please sleep wise. I think that man could sleep on a bed of rocks. As for me, I have a lot of back pain so a mattress is important. We had been enduring a broken sleep number bed and I was sleeping crooked no matter where I decided to rest my head. I found this mattress to be a vast improvement. There were no lumps or unevenness. The reason I've awarded four stars is that for me the mattress seems a tad too firm. Although you do sink slightly into the bed foam it isn't that comfy cosie sink that makes you feel like you never want to get up. I will say the second night was a bit better than the first on this point. I'm hopeful for tonight and beyond. I also have to keep in mind that my back pain isn't going to go away overnight. I'll update this review soon, you never know...this might just get five stars out of me. One week Update: we have had this bed a full week now. The mattress did get a bit softer as time wore on however for me it's still a bit too firm. My husband adores it. In spite of the fact that I would prefer it to be a bit softer I am sleeping a lot better on it than our previous mattress and I have noticed a decrease in the back pain. 2 month update: I believe I've had this mattress a little less than two months now. I am still feeling just about the same. It has helped my back pain quite a bit. It has not changed shape --meaning it isn't suddenly lumpy or anything. I personally still wish it was a tad softer but my husband is still totally in love with it. 9 month update: You will be happy to hear I am still feeling exactly as I did about this mattress in my 2 month update. There are no noticeable sags or bends in it. it seems to be holding up well. In fact, after spending a week on someone else's very thin mattress I found returning to my own to be pure heaven. Happy Shopping! Update may 2016. Someone asked for an update. It's been a few years now I guess since my purchase. We are still using the mattress and I still feel exactly as I did in my 9 month review. No noticeable changes I firmness
