This review is brought to you by a big ol'boy.
I am 6'5, and...uh...fluffy. I'm also old school, so when we needed a mattress in a hurry, but are about to be in the middle of a move to a new home with a new bed situation, I didn't want to shell out for an expensive mattress if I wasn't sure what I was going to build for the new home. Enter my skeptical butt when the gf suggested a mattress from a box. So, sure, whatever, didn't think I'd need to sleep on it long so I caved with lots of doubting looks and handing over my card to her.
When it arrived I was full blown 'there is no way this will be enough of a mattress for me to be comfortable on.' But, because I've watched too many Wile E Coyote cartoons, I was very hesitant opening it, because I didn't want to get yeeted through the wall. Modern day Shakespeare in the works...."What fat butt through yon window breaks?"
But we opened it....and holy crap. Space saver technology has came a long way. It really was a thick mattress. And it was so comfortable! Holy crap is it comfortable. My last mattress was a pillow top that I paid over 1k for. And if I was given the option between the two, I'll take this mattress every time. I sleep comfortable with no tossing and turning at all, very little stiffness from being sprawled all night...I love this purchase.
I did about lose my nipple to it though, not because of sleep or anything, but because I carried the box inside while shirtless (I had been outside working in the yard) and when I sat it down in the floor, I slid it down my body to drop it, and I felt like it grabbed my nipple and took it for the ride. But that's on my dumbness, not on the mattress.
Would recommend, and it is a deep mattress, so make sure you have the deep pocket sheets with it.
