Great after 3 years (and counting!)
I was reading about 1000 reviews on beds before finally committing to one. I will update this review in time to see how it performs in the future, but for now I wanted to add to the reviews the overwhelmed shoppers like myself will see. I wrote this review after having it for 2 weeks, but now after 3 years, my positive comments still hold up!
Overall, I absolutely love this bed. It came right when it was promised, and I let it expand for nearly the entire 48 hour recommended time. It's only gotten to around 9", but I'm not too worried about it, it's comfortable and a very good size as is, wouldn't change a thing. There was a slight chemical smell that has gone away as I let the mattress rise. I also read that people had trouble with fiberglass... well don't remove the cover. I believe it is to protect the mattress from some liquids, and it isn't intended to be removed. So I avoided that and don't have a problem with it at all.
My biggest worry was mold. Thankfully no other reviews mentioned mold, so I thought I was safe. And when I received it, there was no appearance or smell of mold whatsoever. Good stuff!
When people explain that it is both soft and firm, they are absolutely right. The first maybe 2 inches are soft, while the rest is supported by a more firm foam. This allows me, a small 120lb woman, to sink in but not keep sinking in. I hated memory foam because I would never sink the way I wanted so it felt way too firm. I really feel like I am supported in all the ways I need to be. I have never woken up in any pain, and I have even been sleeping all the way through the nights. I guess you don't realize how much you were suffering on a bad mattress until you get a new one!
Finally, it is even a very comfortable mattress for 2! I don't find my arm getting sore or loosing circulation in any cuddling positions so far. I know that is a little weird, but for anyone looking for a mattress for 2, I hope it helps. The "medium" feel of both soft and firm has kept us both very happy, as I am someone who loves a soft bed, and him firm.
The other biggest complaint I've read is that it doesn't last very long, so I updated my review about a year later. So far, it works just as well as the first day I got it! I'm still so comfortable!!
I am updating again after 3 years. I am still so happy and comfortable on it! It does feel like the top "soft" later got a little softer, but the high density part beneath remains wonderfully supportive. I also don't feel like the additional softness over time is a bad thing by any means. My husband and I do not fall to the middle anywhere, and still cuddle comfortably through the full night.
The only bad thing is that I babysat for a dog who loved thrashing around on a bed, and I think his nails caused some small kind of pilling effect on the top foam layer. But even with that, I don't feel it and it doesn't affect the function of the mattress. You only notice if you are running your hand over the bed and looking for it.
After 3 years, I could not be happier. I want everyone to have this mattress!!!
