Shipment arrived sooner than expected. I find it very comfortable. It's neither too soft (which gives me back problems) nor too hard. Just the correct level of firmness for me. While I've only slept on it one night, I don't expect the level of comfort to change. One reviewer mentioned it's easier to get out of the package with two but one can manager. I found that to be true. I managed to unbox it and get it onto my bed without a great deal of difficulty, even though I'm almost 80 and not very strong. The way I did it was to open both ends of the box, then maneuver the box onto my bed with the mattress inside. I was able to then alternate pushing one end and and pulling the other and it slid out fairly easily, since it's encased in plastic. After that it wasn't very difficult to remove the plastic and position is correctly on the bed. Overall I'm very happy with the product and appreciate the packaging that I didn't need safe cracking tools to get into.

I have had this 8" mod mattress for a year and a half now. I absolutely love it! I have never had another mattress I've liked better. I used to buy $1000+ mattresses from mattress firm and other stores. This was my first time ordering a "bed in a box." I ordered a couple different ones off amazon and liked this one the best. Amazon was great with retuning the others that didn't work. I got the king size nod and it is true to size and height. When you first get it, it takes a while to expand to it's full size. After a year and a half it is as good as new and still feels and looks the same. There's NO weird indentions or what my husband and I jokingly call "ditches" lol. In other words the original form is in no way compromised after using it every night for a year and a half. Both my husband and I love it. It's a medium firmness in my opinion. My husband likes a soft bed and I like a firm bed, this was a happy medium. When you lay down it has a little give, but not too much. I have horrible back problems and I sleep so much better on this mattress than I have on any $1000+ serta or what have you. Once upon a time I had a tempurpedic, it was way too hot! This Nod mattress is NOT hot in my experience. Even when I was pregnant and had hormonal sweating this did not make me hot. I'm a very hot natured person too so it's very important to me that my mattress doesn't add to that problem! With other memory foam mattresses I've had, I had to even change clothes during the night, not fun!! I definitely think the comfort and quality of this mattress is comparable to other high quality expensive memory foam mattresses, if not better! Like I mentioned I had to give away the tempurpedic (spelling?) due to it being way too hot! I would highly recommend this mattress to anyone really. I think it accommodates a lot of people due to its adaptive nature and medium feel. I think a medium firmness suits many different people and situations. It's definitely not in any way a hard bed so if you are used to a soft bed, don't let the word medium firmness scare you! I can sleep on a more firm bed (due to my back issues) but this works fine for me even though it's a little softer! I am a stomach sleeper and my husband is a side and back sleeper. It works well for both of us. He is 220lbs and I am 130lbs and we both love it. It's not easy to find a good bed for a stomach sleeper but this one is a winner! I would definitely recommend this to pregnant ladies, or hot sleepers as well! I also think this would work great for a child, toddler or guest bedroom as well. It's sure to suit any guest who would come to stay over! Our kids love the bed as well. We eventually are going to order nod beds for their rooms.

Oh and also if anyone was wondering I 100% purchased this mattress with MY OWN money and no I am not getting paid for this review or any other type or compensation! This is an honest review of someone who spent their hard earned money on this bed! My father is actually buying one for himself for Christmas because he loves our bed so much! He has lupus and is in the market for a bed that will make him very comfortable!

Good luck and remember if it doesn't work out amazon prime is really easy to return it! Just leave the bed outside your door and they come and get it! I hope my review was helpful to someone out there. I know ordering a bed online is hard. Look up some YouTube reviews, they really help!

First off, the mattress is relatively firm. Getting in you feel that you are sinking in and that the mattress is very soft. After a moment the springs and foam respond and the mattress becomes relatively firm. I sleep mostly on stomach and side. It's perfect for the stomach, perhaps a bit too firm for the side. Feels good and supportive on my back but I don't sleep that way. Doesn't sleep hot like a different hybrid mattress I tried. I've been sleeping well.
There is little if any padding around the sides so that you can feel the springs. The edges of the mattress offer no support. I wonder if with time the springs might move out of position (there is little to constrain them) and eventually causing problems.

It's admittedly a bit early to review this mattress, having only slept on it for a week now. But I wanted to share my thoughts since I had initially purchased a Modway and returned it to get this mattress.

First, I'll say this - Amazon tells you to give this up to 72 hours to fill up, so I actually called customer service to ask whether you really needed to wait that long. The answer is no - the mattress can fill out in as little as 2 hours (mine sure did), and even if it doesn't fill all the way right away, it doesn't hurt it if you sleep on it. So said the folks at Tuft & Needle.

Second...

This mattress does not immediately feel like the most comfortable thing in the world. The Modway I'd just returned was a memory foam mattress with a cooling gel pad, and when you got into it, it immediately felt super comfy. I could lay on my side and my back and both ways felt phenomenal. But when my wife slept on it, she sank WAY down. And she'd wake up with terrible back pain.

So when I set up my new Nod mattress...and tested it out...it felt strangely rubbery. It didn't feel immediately soft OR firm (they say medium, and I suppose that's pretty much what it is). It also doesn't let you sink in - at all. With the memory foam mattress (Modway) I barely felt my wife moving on the other side. With this one, I do kind of feel it - but not as much as you would with an innerspring mattress.

Laying on the mattress, again, it doesn't immediately feel like the most comfortable thing in the world, but both my wife and I have slept incredibly well on it. I wake up feeling refreshed, rested...and no pain for either of us! I sleep on both my back and my sides, in case you're a side/back sleeper & you're wondering...

It also sleeps MUCH cooler than both my former innerspring mattress and the Modway, which supposedly has some sort of a cooling gel layer. With both of those, I woke up uncomfortably hot at least once or twice during the night. With this mattress, no such issue. So...older women rejoice! No more crazy night sweats on this thing.

So...that's pretty much my experience so far.

Here's a summary:
GOOD STUFF:
1. don't feel your partner's movement as much as on an innerspring mattress, but do feel it a bit more than a memory foam mattress.
2. doesn't get hot - at all. No night sweats ladies!
3. wake up feeling refreshed, no aches & pains
4. can use it pretty much right away, within a couple of hours - no need to wait 72 hours

NOT SO GOOD STUFF:
1. doesn't "feel" immediately comfy, especially if you're a side sleeper. Not sure how much that matters since my sleep quality has been amazing so far.
2. you do feel a LITTLE bit of your partner's movement on the bed...then again, my wife has not had to adjust as much on this mattress, so what little movement you would feel is reduced.

Overall, I highly recommend this mattress so far. I'll update in a few months if anything changes.

I was REALLY hesitant to buy this mattress. While a major consumer ratings magazine says it's comfortable and super durable, you can't try it out before you buy it and it comes in a box. Really? You want me to pay over $1,000 for a king size mattress in a box? Our 10 year old mattress was shot and this one does have a 100 day try out guarantee so I held my breath and bought it. WOW! What a great product. The white glove delivery was free and while the guys lugged it up the stairs, my wife and I unboxed it. It did sort of jump out of the plastic wrap, but everything was fine. And, it is truly comfortable with just the right amount of softness. I am so glad I bought this mattress!
