Let me say do not buy this beef unless you intend to spend countless more hours laying in your bed because it's so comfortable you don't want to get up.. I was a little iffy buying a mattress offline. We went to bed stores and found what we liked, which was this mattress to the T! But at the cost of $2800.. so little research I come across this... Same thickness, the layer diagram showed me the same as the more expensive brand (Sealey). It really was an extremely good purchase. Opened it up and let it fluff out overnight. The cooling gel has helped me with my night sweats. If you are looking at buying a mattress I would highly recommend this.

Purchased the king 14 inch cool brands mattress. Love it love it love it the price is a steal! The mattress is so freaking comfortable and plush as my daughter worded it "it feels like a big fluffy Marshmello in my dream" and it is very very plush I love it! So the king size is a little bigger than usual but it still fit our bed I just really had to work it in not a big deal but just in case I'd thought I'd mention. Pillows are underneath the mattress when it's packaged so please pull out before makes life alittle more easier. I highly recommend you buy this mattress we bought my daughters she has in her room at ikea it was $615.00 for full so I wish I found this sooner I would have saved money and it's way more plush than hers!

I have had this mattress 2 nights now and I love it. It feels firm if you try to jump on it, but when you lay down it is soft. The pillows are great too. I have slept with 2 pillows for years, but with these you only need the one. I have also had a foot problem for months and I couldn't walk when I got out of bed because my whole foot ached but for the 2 nights that has not happened. I don't know if it's because my old bed was cutting off circulation or what but I did not expect thatproblem to be corrected with a new mattress. My husband also gets up around 3 every morning and sleeps in his chair the rest of the night, but for the 2 nights we have had this mattress he has slept on it all night! I am not saying everyone will have our experience, but it has been so great for us. After we unpacked it, it really puffed up quickly and the odor wasn't too bad at all. This is a great mattress, I would definately recommend it. The price is way cheaper than most good mattresses.

Packaging was a hassle to deal with, as it was half-way torn apart when it arrived and thus already expanding in the packaging, but that's hardly the producer's fault. Once I got it up stairs (maybe get another person to help you), it was rolled in a way that it had to be flipped, and the pillows are rolled on the inside (bottom), so grab those out quick and flip it before it expands too much. Once I got it on the frame, I let the room air out for the night and didn't notice any smell after that. Fits well in a bedbug cover (not too thick), and has been comfortable. Moved well, and is comfortable to sleep on. I can't say it's changed anything about my back problems or sleep habits, but it's a great cheap mattress for a small space.

Let me start off with a bit of background. I'm a relatively big guy (6'2" and 285 lbs), and have severe back issues.I had a tumor grow on my spinal cord, inside my spine which crushed my spinal cord resulting in paralysis from the chest down. Surgery removed the tumor and many functions returned. I can walk again (unsteady and not far). The surgery left me with 4 herniated disks and many completely numb areas, especially in the hips. I say this to explain that I have more back pain/issues than most can ever imagine. This mattress was unbelievably helpful. I used to wake up and turn side to side 4 to 6 times an hour. Sleeping flat on my back was impossible. Side sleeping would result in severe deep throbbing in my numb areas. Now I wake only 3 or 4 times a night. After the first night my morning pain level went down a lot and after a couple of weeks I am mostly pain free in the morning.

I have never had any kind of foam mattress before. I have generally slept on traditional inner springs my 60+ years. I didn't know if I could manage the change in feel to a foam mattress. The wife and I went to many mattress stores and tried out the foam mattresses. I found that the spring and firmness was very important for me. I need enough firmness to help me turn over with my weakened lower body. I also found through research that because of my size it was suggested that i needed at least a 10-12" foam mattress with a thicker base core foam to firm up against my weight. This mattress seemed to meet all the suggestions and then some extra so I gave it a shot. I ordered the adjustable base and this mattress.

When it arrived we assembled the base which only took about 30 minutes. Unpacked and unrolled the mattress. Amazing to watch the expansion. There was a very slight odor. Not strong at all and it mostly dissipated in a couple of hours and was gone the next day. I slept on the mattress after about 4 hours. It was very soft and I had trouble moving around. This worried me of course, but I realized that the foam needs a few weeks to stabilize so I would watch it. Over the course of the next day the bed became firmer. Over the next 2 days the bed became VERY firm. Still completely comfortable, but VERY firm. Much firmer than any inner spring I have had, but it retained it's soft feel pressure wise. Again I would wait and see. After 2 weeks the bed began to soften somewhat. Now after a month it has become near perfection for me. I sink in just enough to where I have a little resistance to turning over, but it is almost the same as my old pillow top. It gives great support to my back and body. I no longer wake to numb or tingling arms (I sleep on them under my head). No more sore shoulders or back pain. No more waking with my hips or butt throbbing from the pressure (nerve damage is a nightmare that is hard to explain or understand). I used to have to get up and walk around in the night to get things back in "perspective". That is a thing of the past. I only get up at night now for a bathroom break and right back to sleep.

The first night I slept on the bed I had issues going to sleep. The different feel of a foam mattress seemed to agitate me. Once I fell asleep though it was a sound all night sleep. My first in years. Over the first week I would wake up very stiff and had some issues with soreness. I was trying to sleep in the flat position without the head raised 6 inches or so. Something I have not been able to do for over 20 years.This went away over a few days until I am now relatively pain free (for me anyway). I swear it had to do with my spine realigning from having proper support because I can sleep comfortably flat now though a slight 3 inch head raise makes it seem better.

My wife and I have not slept in the same bed due to my constant tossing, turning and up and down, for many years. She has tried a few nights nights on the mattress to see how it does for her. Her king size is arriving tomorrow. She loved it as well and said she woke up with much less pain and slept sounder on it. OH, the free pillows are great. No numb ear or face tracks (I have to have CPAP as well since my diaphragm is affected also.)

I am subject to night sweats and this mattress seems better than my old mattress. I don't wake up hot and drippy. Warm, yes, but not hot so I believe the cool gel works.

Is this the perfect mattress for everyone? Probably not. Is it a great mattress? I would say yes. If you are a big person and worried about a foam mattress being firm enough to support you I would say go for this. Also, give it some time for the foam to stabilize. It really does take a couple of weeks.. If foam is new to you, wait to adapt to the different feel. It's a big change to your body memory, but it will be worth it in the end.

Enough of my rambling. I just wanted to tell you my experience with this mattress since it has made a huge difference in my life. And no, I don't work for the company of even know anybody who does. I will update this if something changes.
