5.0 out of 5 stars
No experience with Tempurpedic but this is nice!, July 18, 2006
This review is from: Queen 12" Therapeutic Memory Foam Mattress with 5" 5LB Viscoelastic Memory Foam (Kitchen)
I read reviews for the same sleepshop mattress without the dual air flow. This one has two eggcrate pieces of foam to form the base. Not sure if it makes much difference but I heard the Tempurpedic design is similar and for 3 bucks more I figured what the heck. It has a mattress cover which can be unzipped and washed. I have never slept on a memory foam mattress but I must say that I like it alot. When you first lie down on the mattress it feels a bit firm but when the foam begins to conform that is when it feels great giving even support throughout your body. If you move a lot during sleep it takes getting used to the bumps caused by your former position until the foam comforms to your new position. There is a chemical smell but it needs some time to air out. I dont feel it is that noticeable unless I stick my face in the mattress. Shipping was good. It came by Fedex and I received a tracking number. Ordered it on 7/9 and received it on 7/14. I cannot imagine a tempurpedic being that much better especially with a 1500 dollar increase in price.

The Cat Approves, October 27, 2006
This review is from: Queen 12" Therapeutic Memory Foam Mattress with 5" 5LB Viscoelastic Memory Foam (Kitchen)
I like it. My wife and I decided to get a new mattress. I had originally intended to get a standard Box Spring set and was a bit surprised at how much a new set costs. I also sleep face down and often have a sore back. I did some inter-net reading on Memory Foam and then went by a local shop, which will give you a minimal introduction. Clearly one really needs to spend the night on one to get a real idea, it was hard but not objectionable at the store. I was able to tell that I liked the ten inch more than the seven inch, seems like the thickness gives a softer impression, at least at first. Cut to the chase, I purchased this one. I placed my order online with Amazon Sunday and went with this 12" thick mattress (more is better). Monday I got tracking information with FedX and was able to follow it. I work the overnight shift and at 3 a.m. Thursday it was noted to be in town and on a truck for delivery, came about 9:30 to my door. I was able to carry it upstairs myself as it's "rolled" and compressed. It is heavy close to 100 pounds so just be aware but a strong healthy person can get it up on a shoulder for a short carry. I decided to just throw it on my box spring even though I was a bit afraid of the height as it would be 4 inches higher than the bed now. You have to be careful removing the wrap but it is not difficult. The mattress un-rolls and starts to "inflate" it does have a smell for sure. We had an anti-allergy cover on our old bed so I put the mattress in there. We have a dual control heated pad that went on next and used a little Febreze, next a very thin cheap mattress pad just to cover my wifes heat system and sheets. The bed set-up is high this way but it looks good on our bed frame. If it looked odd I was going to dump the box springs and just put a platform on the frame but my wife likes the look, so I think I'm done. Most importantly it is a big hit with the cats. Last night was the first to sleep on the bed and bottom line, very comfortable! No back pain in the morning for me and I really don't think it will take anytime for me to adjust, actually I would say I'm well adjusted. I'm sure that one really needs to use it a month to give a valid review so take what I say on comfort with a grain of salt but day one my back is happy. However, on price, delivery, initial reaction and comfort I'm very impressed. For those with a sensitive nose the anti-allergy bag and a bit of FeBreze seem to cure that 98% even on day one.
I came back to give an up-date as a few weeks has gone by but I see (at least now) it is unavailable? The mattress is very nice, going on 3 weeks and we have no complaints. The bed is very comfortable and isolates movements or I should say the preception of the "other" persons movements. One does not seem to toss and turn as much and I for one have less back pain. Last week my wife hurt her back so the mattress is not an "instant" cure. She does feel that the mattress is a help but clearly her back is bothering her since she hurt it. One does not "sink" as deep as I thought but it clearly conforms to the body. Mind you, our small cat (9 pounds) barley makes a dent but he is also very fond of the bed. For a "face-down" sleeper it's very nice. I don't think it would be fair to compare it to my old spring mattress as that one was over 10 years old and surely not a top of the line model. As other have said not sure if the "Dual Air Flow" makes any difference but both my wife and I a very pleased. At this point, I'd say I'm a "Memory Foam" kind-o-guy. It's a bit odd to sit on the edge, like to put on shoes as one really sinks in but with our setup it's a bit high for that anyway. I don't know why it's unavailable but if one is interested in this type of bed this one is very comfortable and we have been pleased with the price, speed of delivery and the apparent quality of the product. I'll stop by in 10 or 20 years and let ya'll know how it holds up!

Great Alternative to Tempur-pedic, August 17, 2006
This review is from: Queen 12" Therapeutic Memory Foam Mattress with 5" 5LB Viscoelastic Memory Foam (Kitchen)
We just couldn't see paying the excessive price of the Tempur-pedic so we thought we'd try this one. So far, we are very impressed. The initial smell of the foam, while not pleasant, was not that bad and did fade away after a few days. Also, it has a zippered cover that can be removed and washed. At first it seems very firm, but it just takes a few nights of adjusting to the "contouring" of the mattress, and we sleep very well now. No tossing and turning. No back aches. We would certainly recommend this mattress to others.
