So, this is the first time I've ever purchased a cheap mattress. I am the girl who usually buys the mattresses that are several thousand dollars.
So, anyway, I did not know what to expect with this. I didn't even get to test it in advance. I just took a gamble and tried it.
Well. So, it came in a box that was plenty tall, but way too, well, narrow. My first thought was, what the hell? My second thought was, that can't be the mattress, can it? Well, yes, it is.
What I learned was that somehow or other, probably using dark magic or something, they deflated it and rolled it up to get it into the box. They also sealed it into plastic.
Well, this is extremely convenient for getting the mattress into the room you want. It is a lot easier to maneuver this rolled-up mattress than it is to maneuver a queen-sized mattress.
That said, this mattress is extremely heavy. I needed two people to lift it - not because it's bulky, which of course it is because it's a mattress, but because of the weight. That is definitely an issue for someone who lives alone, or someone who lives in a household where one (or even zero) people cannot manage very heavy things. If you are in this situation, plan to get someone to help you move it, or else it will be decorating your porch or entryway for a while until you figure that bit out.
I have no clue why it is so heavy. Other mattresses are not this heavy... at least, I've never had one anywhere near this heavy before. It is baffling.
But, anyway. At least it is easier to navigate through doorways than a fully-inflated mattress, because it is rolled up. Make use of that bonus.
Once you get the mattress to where you want it to go, you release it from the plastic. They warn you to step back when you do this, and they are not kidding. It was like my mattress suddenly gasped for a breath of air, and its "lungs" expanded.
That said, they ALSO tell you to wait 72 hours after it begins the inflation process. This, too, they are not kidding about. The mattress continued to inflate, slowly but surely, for at least that amount of time.
It is my understanding that you absolutely should not use it, even so much as doing a test-sit, until the mattress is done inflating. It is my understanding that if you do, you can prevent the mattress from fully inflating (ever), and thereby have a less-than-stellar mattress which is awful and lumpy and thin (at least in some spots). Well, I did not test that theory. I closed the door to my room to make sure even the dogs and cats did not sit on it until it was done inflating. I would strongly suggest you do the same, if you want this mattress to be the best it can be in the end.
Obviously, that creates a short-term problem. WHERE do you let this mattress inflate? You could put it on your bedframe, but if you do (and it's not a new guest bed or some such), then where do you sleep for 3 or 4 nights? You could put it on the floor NEXT to your bed, but that takes up a lot of floor space. And, too, if you have kids or pets, or even if you're just clumsy, you run the risk of someone stepping on it while it's inflating. So, basically, I think most people will find that it disrupts your household quite a lot for that time period.
Well, then, you're asking, why do I still give it a good star rating? Well, see, now, that issue is temporary. Yes, it's a pretty big, pretty annoying issue. But, once it is finally done inflating, it's done. You have your mattress then. Problem over.
And, yes, the quality of the mattress once you finally can lie on it is good. Very good.
No, it doesn't compare to the luxury of a multi-thousand dollar mattress. I would be lying through my teeth if I said it did. The super-expensive mattress is definitely better.
But for the price you pay, this mattress is AMAZING. It's pretty comfortable. It cradles your body a bit while you sleep.
I admit... I haven't had it long enough to know if the greatness lasts. But it is pretty great so far.
I also will say that you do sort of sink in a bit more than you might be used to with more traditional mattresses. As a side effect, the mattress gives you a bit warmer sleep than a regular mattress. If you are a cold person when you sleep, you will probably find this a bonus. It's like an underneath blanket snuggling you, sort of, kind of. But if you sleep hot and find yourself kicking blankets off in the middle of the night, then you will probably find this a minus.
I do wonder if that makes this bed somewhat better in winter and somewhat worse in summer. Well, I'll find out in time, for sure.
It is my understanding that this type of bed is supposed to be a good bed for about 5 years, maybe a bit less. So, if you are seeking a bed that will last 10, 20, 30 years, nope, this is not it. But it is a very affordable option that will get you a really nice bed right now. And if you don't need or want that sort of longevity in a mattress, then this might be exactly what you are looking for.
I'm not looking forward to hauling it out when its lifespan is done, on the theory that it will be as heavy then as it was when we moved in it... but that's a future problem.
Count me a happy customer who is sleeping just fine.

The mattress itself is well-built. I didn't notice any defects in craftsmanship or anything that would suggest this mattress won't last for years. In terms of comfort, I found it to be quite comfortable. My old mattress was very firm, which is what I've been happy with for years. On the scale of soft to firm, I found this mattress to sit comfortably between them: it is soft but also firm (although a little more towards the soft side). The advantage of this is that it's comfortable while still being firm enough to have support in any sleeping position, but especially on your stomach. If the bed is too soft, I have trouble because I am a stomach sleeper but this mattress is entirely comfortable on your stomach, side, or back. This is a big plus!
One thing I will say is that the mattress is quite thick (as you can see from my medium to large-sized hand spread fully apart on it). Now, this is why it is so comfortable, which is great. But, I did find most of my sheets slip off from it because of the added thickness of the mattress. This is not a problem with the mattress so much as it is a problem with my sheets; I think this needs either bigger-sized queen sheets or maybe even a king-size sheet to fit it properly, which is perfectly fine. I'd much rather have more comfort than a thinner mattress that fits all sheets perfectly!
Finally, I am quite pleased with how light this mattress is compared to many others I've had. It is light, yet thick and comfortable. The company deserves a big thumbs up for this!
