My stats: 6'1" 200lbs pinched spinal column, sciatic nerve impingement, poor sleeper, hot sleeperAbsolutely LOVE this matress. When it arrived it was well packaged. Upon opening I had doubts it would expand fully. Took it to an open room and cut open vacuum sealed bag. Bed started expanding rapidly. A few hours later and it looked completely expanded but I followed the directions and waited. 72 hours later it was ready. I pressed on the top of the bed and I was worried, it felt stiff almost hard. I then laid on it and my worries went away as it formed around me beautifully. It is firm but very comfortable. The initial smell of plastic was almost completely gone. The first night I we slept on it I did not wake once during the night and awoke feeling really good. I have a bad back and since sleeping on this mattress I have noticed that I awaken with less back pain and stiffness. I am sleeping a lot better also.

Size: QueenStyle: 12-inch Memory FoamPattern Name: Medium FeelVerified Purchase
This is for the queen size medium feel 12 inch memory foam version:
I've had a few memory foam beds, most recently a Tuft & Needle mattress from 2018 or so. That mattress was okay, but I always woke up with sore hips from side sleeping, as it was very unforgiving. I also used to wake up often throughout the night in general. I got this one on sale for about a quarter of the price of my last one, and it is helping a lot in both regards. The soft top layer with firmer bottom layer really makes a difference in the side sleeper/hip issue IMO. So far I'm sleeping 100% through the night with no wake ups, just conked out the whole time. That's a good sign to me. There is a factory plastic-like smell but if you've ever owned anything memory foam you'll be familiar with that, and it goes away over time. Pick this up if you want a nice quality bed for a good price.

I loved this mattress when I bought it. Unfortunately I'm writing this about 4.5 years later because it is sagging in the middle and we are waking up with sore backs.

I still might get another one because they're very affordable, but now I know when it'll need to be replaced.

Size: TwinStyle: 10-inch Memory FoamPattern Name: Medium FeelVerified Purchase
I purchased a memory foam pillow a decade ago. The smell was so horrible that I banished it to the garage. Weeks later the smell was still so strong and offensive that I threw the pillow away.

That experience made me very hesitant about purchasing a memory foam mattress, but a close relative assured me that she had experienced no odor when she purchased her memory foam mattress. After talking with her and reading numerous reviews, I made the decision to purchase the mattress above. I offer the following comments to help others decide if they want to try a memory foam mattress.

1) Prepare for the EXPANSION EVENT.
A memory foam mattress comes in a box and is rolled tightly in plastic. As you unroll the plastic, physics takes over and the mattress starts a growth process you cannot stop.

My husband removed the box, stood the mattress up on one end and began unrolling the outer plastic wrapping as I rolled up the plastic he was removing from the mattress. We had cleared a twin size area on the floor. The mattress immediately started expanding and it was necessary to lay it on the floor before we could cut off the heavy plastic bag in which the mattress was sealed under the outer plastic wrapping. Once all the plastic was removed, we left the mattress on the floor for two days to firm up. The third day my husband carried the mattress to its bed frame, where it continued to firm up. Moving the mattress was challenging because the expanded mattress is very wobbly and difficult to handle. We would have needed a second or third person if the mattress had been a larger size. Consider letting the mattress expand on the bed frame so moving it is not necessary.

2) Plastic
There is a lot of heavy plastic to dispose of. Find a store or recycling center.

3) Waterproof Mattress Protector
It is essential to have a waterproof mattress protector and our mattress did not come with one. The mattress is a foam product and anything you spill on it - food, blood, urine, vomit - will stain the foam and is likely to create permanent smells. Amazon has a good selection of waterproof mattress protectors.

4) Memory Foam Odor
Our mattress had no odor.

5) Corners Not Expanding
Some reviewers mention corners that did not fully expand. Our corners expanded fully once the inner bag was removed from the mattress.

6) Firmness
How firm do you want your mattress? After reviews and recommendations, we decided on Amazon's medium firm, 10 inch mattress. It is comfortable, and does not "trap" you in the foam as some reviewers said could happen with softer mattresses.

7) Heat
Consider this issue carefully based on your preferences. As you lay on a memory foam mattress you will feel a warmth. This gentle warmth is comfortable and relaxing, and is one reason I would choose a memory foam mattress again. Removing or adding a blanket can help control the heat level.
