I was fairly hesitant to purchase a bed online. I did a lot of research regarding memory foam beds by reading online and also talking to sales people in stores. First I found out about different densities and materials of memory foam. Some of the ones that I saw at places such as Sam's Club were made of 100% Polyurethane. For a base Polyurethane is fine but for the whole bed it does not qualify as a memory foam. Viscoelastic is what the top part of the bed with an avg thickness of 3" (this one has 5 because it has the extra 2 inches of egg crate shaped layers for the pillow top). While some other beds have the correct material and correct thickness it might not have the correct density of the Viscoelastic. Lesser quality beds will have less density. Tempur-Pedic and other high quality memory foam beds have a density of 5.3 lbs of density. When there is less density the bed won't work like a memory foam bed. It will sag and you'll probably wake up with some sore backs. All in all this was a great deal and is a great bed. It arrived in five days from when I ordered it in excellent condition. The warranty is for ten years (amazon quotes it incorrectly).

Pros: Arrived ahead of schedule, in great condition. Very comfortable bed. I am extremely happy with it. Helps my wife a lot, she's pregnant and the memory foam helps out her back quite a bit.

Cons: Takes a week or two to "soften it up" and get used to it (but is fantastic when you get used to it). Smells like when new carpet has been put down in a house for about three weeks. I have read a lot of things about the chemical smell being toxic and causing asthma. I have had difficulties with asthma for 26 years now and can get an asthma attack from cats, dogs, dust, running, and lots of other things. I was a little worried this smell might cause some asthma attacks however, I have never had an attack from this smell. I don't wake up wheezing or anything.

Conclusion: Great bed, great deal, arrived in 5 days. For me the Cons are minuscule in comparison to the Pros. Will/have already recommended to my friends.

To make this short and sweet we paid alot of money for a sleep number bed which we suffered on for 5or so years. Finally when I could barely stand up straight in the mornings we started shopping for a new mattress. We decided on the expensive name brand memory foam mattress and were ready to sign on to a 3yr payment plan when I decided to check on Amazon. We came accross this bed and felt we had nothing to lose (it was about 15% of the price we were going to pay) and we have not regretted the decision. We have had the bed for 3+ mos- no complaints!! As a person with chronic back issues, I feel great on this bed- thank you!!!

Ordering and shipping went smooth, the bed was delivered on the date promised. Comparison shopping was difficult, if not impossible, but after reading as much online as I could find and trying out many other brands of memory foam mattresses, I decided to take the chance and order the Dynasty... which was a jump in faith for me. In my eyes, this was a big purchase to make without trying it out, but the reviews on Amazon were good and the price was fantastic, so we did it. I've found most other brands to be slightly firmer than the Tempur-Pedic, so with that in mind I made sure to order a softer mattress than I might normally buy. That was a good move, as the comfort level of our new mattress is about perfect (King Celebrity 12 inch.) I almost ordered the Cloud, it was a tough decision. Every brand has a distinct feel, although they are similar in many ways. This one has less of a "sinking" sensation than others but is very comfortable and back pain has been zero. The smell was not as strong as some may say, although others could be more sensitive. During the first week we stripped the sheets off every morning and opened the windows to reduce any chance of odor. There is still a slight whiff occasionally. It will take a few months before giving this a complete and fair review but we are quite satisfied so far. There is no denying the price difference, less than $800 for the Dynasty vs $4,000 for the Tempur-Pedic. That was the single biggest factor in our decision.

UPDATE: After a month of using the mattress I am thoroughly impressed and increased my 4 start rating to 5. It took a few weeks to get acquainted with the feel, as I always slept on a traditional spring mattress, but since then I have slept better than anytime in recent memory. I don't wake up in the night and hardly toss and turn, which was a regular occurrence in the past. No more back pain either. Very satisfied!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this mattress but I do give the company a big plus for getting it to us so quickly. As others have said, it was here within a week of ordering it. We are still trying it out; we've had it I think for about five weeks now? It's amazing how hard it feels as you first lay down on it and then it softens up a bit as you lay on it for longer than five minutes. It doesn't transfer motion so that if either one of us has a restless night the other one isn't affected. As to the sleeping, yeah it's more comfortable than our old inner spring Doctor's Choice two year old mattress. I do like is the price of this mattress, if it is indeed comparable to the Tempurpedic beds, its waaaayyyyy less expensive than Tempurpedic. There is no way I'm spending [...] on a mattress! And that is the price of a comparable Tempurpedic's mattress, not the entire bed set...OY!

I don't like how the sides collapse as you sit on the side of the bed, that's uncomfortable. And the smell of the mattress has not dissipated even though the company claimed it would after two weeks. It kind of smells funky even now! Lastly, I have no idea how to send it back if we didn't like it after 90 day trial. It came super compressed rolled up in a bunch of plastic that we had to cut off to get the mattress opened. The company wants you to use the same packaging to send it back, which wouldn't work because we don't have any way to compress the foam back into the original shape it was in when it shipped, never mind the packaging was torn and ripped up when we got it.

We had bought a very expensive King size bed set from Denver Mattress five years ago and within three years, our first bed had great big ruts in the mattress where we had slept and a large hump in the middle. So we exchanged it while it was still under warranty and got another, less expensive Doctor's Choice inner spring's mattress, which also failed after two years. One of the problems with King size beds is the hump that it develops in the middle. I'm curious to see if our foam mattress does this? We haven't had it long enough to see yet. Only time will tell if we have a great bed or another poor substitution.

ordered mattress jan 11 arrived jan 15 ahead of schdule carrier called with notice of arrival date. removed bands and plastic unit reached full size in less than an hour. some odor but not unbearable. first night sleeping comfortable but a little strange due to lack of motion after years on innersprings. great product for the price. look forward to many confortable nights

After our brand-name coil mattress got huge divets after less than two years - I was on a mission to find a high-quality replacement. After much research and mattress-testing, I decided on a TempurPedic. But the price was cost-prohibitive. I was amazed to see this product on Amazon for such an amazing price, especially after reading the positive reviews. It seems too good to be true. And although I was exceptionally hesitant to buy online from an off-brand company - it seems to be a smart move based on the price and positive reviews.

We ordered on a Thursday and our mattress arrived on Saturday. FedEx guy was exceptional - lugged the whole thing up our steep hill of a driveway and even helped my husband get it into the bedroom.

We cut open the box (carefully). Inside, the mattress was shrink-wrapped with two layers of packaging plastic. We set it on the bed and carefully cut off the packaging. The mattress is impressive to look at and started to "set up" immediately. Yes, there is a slight odor, but I imagine it will dissipate in a few days.

I hope this review stands-up after a year or two, but so far, this mattress is everything that we had hoped for.

Replaced a 14 year-old conventional mattress with this model. Arrived in 4 business days from CA - wow! - in excellent condition (not a single tear in the wrapping). FedEx-guy helped carry it through the front door (heavy - but relatively compact). Dude was amazed when I told him it was a king-sized mattress. Managed to solo-navigate the rolled-mattress into my bedroom before removing the heavy plastic wrapper. The mattress expanded fairly rapidly after removing the wrapper.
The "plastic-odor" mentioned by others was noticable - but not offensive to me. It still lingers three weeks after installing - but not too bad (IMO).
Personally, I like its firmness - but ability of the mattress to conform to my body - which allow good support of my lower back. The mattress doesn't appear as soft and mushy as its high-dollar counterpart. But, I like the feel just fine. I'd recommend this option - especially in view of the cost-difference.

I purchased this bed because I was having lower back pain everynight as I slept. After 10 days of using this bed the pain went away. The bed does have a funny smell for the first two weeks but eventually went away. Love this product and would purchase it again for other bedrooms.The price is very resonable and delivery was within 5 days of purchase. The delivery man left the rolled up mattress at my doorstep. My husband carried the mattress upstairs by himself. The mattress has a pillow top which makes it even more confortable. The memory foam is incrediable and I look forward to jumping in my bed every night. One of my best purchases from Amazon!

This mattress was a great buy for my wife and I. We researched this bed for about a week relying mostly on reviews here on amazon. Even though we were weary about spending so much on a mattress that we couldn't try first, we decided to go ahead and take the chance. We are very glad that we did. Just the same as other reviews, it had a smell (to me smells like freshly laid latex paint), popped up in about 2 hours to our amaze, arrived fast, and arrived in a small but very heavy package (thankfully the fed ex guy offered to help carry it up the stairs to our room FEW!). It's great quality comfy and well worth the $$$.

My husband and I looked at the Temperpedic memory foam mattress and I wasn't about to pay $3500 for a mattress but I've had such bad luck with the inner spring mattresses. I was a little scared to purchase such a large item over the internet but after reading alot of good reviews, I thought I'd chance it. Boy, am I glad I did! I got it in less than a week. My girlfriend and I managed to get it in the house and it took longer to get all the packaging off of it. It started expanding immediately and I was even able to sleep on it the first night. There's a little smell to it but not that terrible of an odor. I opened the windows and ran a fan and it wasn't that noticeable. When I first laid on it I thought, "Oh, this is really hard!" But after you've laid on it for a couple minutes you start sinking down in it. For around $800 you can't beat it!
