CertiPUR-US Certified 7-Inch Cool Gel Memory Foam Mattress - Full Size Bed in a Box for Pressure Relief & Back Support | Perfect for Guest Rooms, Dorms & Apartment Living

When I purchased this mattress I wasn't left too much time to make a decision, my box spring imploded shortly before purchasing, lol! The entire box spring went, from the support beam to the coils coming undone, and busting through my foam bedding, all in one night, all with two moves of my body, lol! I didn't want another box spring and found these mattresses being advertised as 'toppers' to be used on top of your old foam mattress to give 'new life' to your older foam mattress. The idea intrigued me and I continued to research how I could accomplish. Since I like firm mattresses, I was unsure if buying online was the way to go, due to not being able to sample the mattress. However, quickly realized I could return. I looked for a platform bed, as it was suggested, due to not wanting another box spring for my foam mattress. I found the Zinus SmartBase 14 inch Platform Frame and purchased both the mattress and the platform frame. When I opened the mattress, I left to air out and expand on the guest bed for twenty-four hours, then put the frame together. By the next day, the chemical odor that was profound while opening the mattress had completely dissipated along with the mattress expanding the way it was advertised to do. The next day I put the mattress on top of my older foam mattress and new Zinus frame and laid down on the bed. I couldn't believe what I was feeling. Although I was up higher than I had been used to due to the platform frame and the two mattresses together, I felt perfectly comfortable in a seated position and while lying down. I have now had the mattress and platform bed for a few weeks and both have proved to be one of the best investments that I have made in bedding, to date. The neck pain that I was used to experiencing is gone completely! The soreness from having my back operated on, twice, in 2011, was completely gone! When I get in the bed at any time, my body sinks down to a perfect position to align with my entire body. Thereafter, I feel 'coolness'! I was amazed when feeling how cool the mattress is. My original foam mattress is very warm and has always been the only disappointment to me since purchasing. When I cover up if using covers that night, I turn to my side (side sleeper) and have not remembered falling asleep since buying these products! I close my eyes and the next thing I remember is waking up the next day. I have NEVER fallen asleep in this manner since I can remember falling asleep. I love the mattress. The mattress is firm, but not too firm. The mattress won't allow your entire body to 'sink in softness' as the bed isn't made to be 'squishy soft', the mattress is firm, however, the mattress does give to accommodate your weight. Although the mattress was left on the guest bed for twenty-four hours, the corners didn't expand to 6 inches, only 4 inches. I've read other reviews and customers have experienced the same issue. I can only guess the machine that flattens the mattress to fit in the small box the mattress comes in, is to blame. Since the corners don't interfere with the most comfortable sleep I have ever had in my life, I am more than willing to overlook. The mattress did expand to 6 inches everywhere else other than the corners. I like having the bed higher than what I am normally used to, although different, I have found this isn't something that bothers me. I like to watch television while in bed, and this actually assists with my eyesight being aligned with the television screen while in bed. I love the mattress and the comfort it provides. Due to the price I paid for both the mattress and the platform frame, I feel like I have hit the lottery for a few thousand dollars. When I purchased my original foam mattress and box spring, I paid over 1, 000.00 for the entire purchase, back in 2006. For what I paid for this mattress and frame, then finding the comfort and the benefits I have ended up being provided is only a plus all the way around. I can't shout loud enough how happy I am with these products and would honestly and wholeheartedly recommend to anyone else who is trying to decide on purchasing the mattress and platform frame to not be concerned if you will be totally satisfied. (Very shortly, I will be leaving a 5-star rating for the Zinus 14 inch Smart Base Platform Frame, in addition to this one. The frame only compliments the mattress I've purchased. The frame is very sturdy and doesn't move, AT ALL, with the two foam mattresses and myself are on the bed. I am 6'2 and my weight is 205lbs. There is an 8-inch foam mattress being used as the support for the new 6-inch Basic Foam Mattress, including my weight, all is being supported without any notice to any stress to the frame in any manner. I believe my older foam full mattress weighs around 94 lbs, + my weight, 205, + 6 inch mattress = 39 lbs, =338 lbs. I have heard no noises like squeaking or any other noises. The frame doesn't move AT ALL, while I'm on the bed and only compliments the comfort I receive from the mattress. I have spent less than 200.00 dollars for the entire purchase for the mattress and the platform frame, and all this comfort feels like I've finally have won the war on finding something that works as well as I would have expected if I had paid for a high-end mattress and frame.)This bed is for my 19yr old son who says it's very comfortable. It's very easy to set up you just take it out the box and cut the plastic off. You will watch it unfold right there in front of your eyes.Replaced our 10 year old traditional mattress with this one for the price and was very happy to find one so comfortable!Not too hot, too soft or too firm.I'm a side sleeper and very happy with this mattressMy daughter needed a mattress for her lofted bed because hers was getting too small. We got this one and it was great! This mattress expanded to the full 6 inches immediately. It didn't stink like some people have mentioned in their reviews. My daughter was having problems sleeping in her own bed at night, but this mattress solved everything. I would purchase this again.Purchased for a trundle bed. It is so comfortable. I wasn't sure how it would be because there is no box spring on the trundle but I'm super impressed and highly recommend this mattress.I really like this mattress. It's got some solid support, overlaid with some "cool gel" foam, all contained in a zippered cover. I've slept on it on the floor and it's been pretty comfortable.I'm not thrilled with the "cool" feature - I still tend to get a little warm and, since this is only a twin-size mattress, it's a little difficult to find space that's not holding heat. Do any of the "cool gel" mattresses really work? I'm wondering!But it's a quality product - good quality. I think it would last quite a while without sagging or breaking down.But I can't say it's "cool".She uses it more to play on than sleep on. It is fairly thin, but overall pretty nice.I bought this mattress for my daughter's trundle. Seems to sleep fine. Neither of my girls complained about it when they slept on it. The mattress came double wrapped and then boxed up. So it was protected during shipping. The mattress fluffed up over night and there was no overpowering smell.It was firm and very confortable at first but it became softer after a few weeks only. I now have to rotate the mattress every two-three weeks as my hips sinks making it uncomfortable for sleeping on the back. I don't anticipate a long life for this one. I can only hope my mattress is an exception. Sleeping on the side still feels great though. I'm 185cm / 70kgAlso, there is no edge structure so make sure to sleep well centered on the mattress to maximise confort level.For toddlers I'd rate it 5 stars as the memory gel does feel cooler but for adults the overall confort longevity might be an issue. Too bad as the first few weeks were perfect.Very satisfied. It came in a tiny long box (so easy for transport). Comfortable but it is not as comfortable as one of those very comfy $2,000 + mattresses I've had. For the price, it is the most comfortable we could have found. Me and my girlfriend survived on an inflatable mattress just before getting this and wow did we feel great. I was also able to get out of the bed and infiltrate back in without waking her up. The smell was there for about two to four months but after that, our home smell took over. Comfortable for all kamasutra fans but I have a hard time sleeping on the side for more than 10 to 30 minutes on this mattress. Not a big deal anyway since I always drool if I sleep on the side. So I give it a 5 on every way for this one!I’ve been sleeping on this bed for about a year and a half now and it does the job but long term it is quite uncomfortable. It would be good for a guest bedroom or a teen room but for two adults it’s just not quite it. The mattress itself is still in okay condition but it does stain pretty easily and they goes all the way through the cover and onto the foam itself.Needed to substitute an old mattress which was causing back pains. I was searching for a memory foam mattress but I was skeptical to buy this one looking at the price and it turns out I was right. The edges didn't flare up as the reviews mention and the mattress causes back pain at times. Would have been better off not buying this.This is a very comfortable mattress. I used it on a Murphy style bed as I wanted to be able to keep the bedding on the bed and still be able to close the bed when not being used. It is the perfect size. Very pleased with how quickly it arrived and expanded to the actual size.
