Posted by T B from Pensacola, FL on February 6, 2013

It is on guest room queen bed and our guests ( 8 since we installed it) have been consistently enthusiastic about the big improvement. We tried it ourselves and found that it is every bit as comfortable as our much heavier, much more costly but very comfortable mattress. It also ... →

“Serta Not Too Bad Sleeper”

• The Serta Perfect Sleeper line by Serta
• Purchased from Mattress Discounters (Washington, DC)

Posted by Peter H from Chevy Chase, MD on March 16, 2010

I can't say that the Perfect Sleeper quite lives up to the billing, but it is not bad, really. I have had mine for eight years now, and it still is quite a comfortable sleep, though I am starting to sense some sagging. →

We've had this mattress for 6 months and it took no adjustment period at all to get used to it. We have loved it from the very beginning. The first time we slept in it, it blew our minds -- it is the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept in. →

“Rest Assured”

• The Sonno Prima Firm model by Design Within Reach
• Purchased from Design Within Reach (New York, NY)

Posted by Larry P from Allen, TX on May 7, 2012

It's been about 2 months since we purchased our CMG Caress (King) from RTG. I do have to say after reading some of the negative reviews I was paranoid for the first month constantly asking my wife, "do you think it's sagging on my side", all the while I was ... →

“Solid Night's Sleep at Affordable Price”

• The Dormia Memory Foam line by Dormia

Posted by Todd R from Mount Kisco, NY on January 23, 2010

I generally prefer a firm mattress, and the Dormia has provided me a solid foundation for about 8 years. I've slept on a Tempur-pedic before - and honestly, they are much better, higher quality memory foam - but I got my queen for around $900, so balancing affordability with performance ... →

“Tempur-Pedic Cloud Luxe”

• The Luxe model from the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud Collection line by Tempur-Pedic

Posted by Pauline P from Whitby, ON on March 14, 2011

Got the bed only five days ago.Was most concerned about reported off-gassing and the mattress 'sleeping hot'. The off-gassing was a problem requiring open windows[should have waited for warmer weather] an official mattress cover and a cotton one on top sorted the sleeping hot problem if there was one. Its ... →

“Saatva Mattress/ ”

• The Saatva brand

Posted by Judi L from North Hollywood, CA on June 25, 2012

My husband and I recently purchased our first Saatva mattress, and I cannot speak highly enough about it. It is by far the best mattress we have ever owned and in fact the best we have tried, having previously shopped around before we heard about this company. The mattress is ... →

“Best Bed Yet”

• The Carolina Mattress Guild brand

Posted by John B from Knoxville, TN on June 29, 2012

Posted by Ames B from Portland, OR on September 6, 2012

We bought this mattress in December of 2007 for $1549 and had it delivered. Upon its arrival a strong chemical smell saturated the bedroom lasting several days. The mattress was fine at first. I liked the low motion transfer design. I could hardly feel my spouse come to bed and ... →

“No Staying Power”

• The Winter Grove Ltd Firm model from the Sealy Posturepedic PurEmbrace line by Sealy
• Purchased from Macy's

Posted by Eric G from Houston, TX on September 2, 2012

After five years, there are two distinct -- and growing -- "hollows" where my wife and I sleep. And we are not giants -- 180 and 140 pounds. Disappointing. Good latex construction is NOT supposed to do this. We are contacting Sealy to complain and see what remedy our 20-year ... →

Complaints for Firm Comfort

“Can't complain”

• The Mystic Plush model from the ComforPedic from Beautyrest line by Simmons

Posted by Stew M from Aiken, SC on February 17, 2012

My wife and I tried this bed in the store, after finding the Loft Sparkling Star too firm. The display of the Mystic was much softer, giving in to our bodies, but not "sinking" in. Very comfortable. What was delivered had the same brand, name, model, but was NOT the ... →

Posted by Tara M from Pooler, GA on August 7, 2012

I purchased my carress matress at RTG 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately, they did not have this particular model in store so I was very nervous when I purchased this. The person helping me did not know a lot about the mattress and was feeding me a line so I went ... →

“No Durability: Carolina Mattress Guild Caress King Mattress ”

• The Caress Extra Plush model from the Carolina Mattress Guild Nature's Image line by Carolina Mattress Guild
• Purchased from Rooms To Go (Durham, NC)

Posted by Doug T from Chapel Hill, NC on August 10, 2012

“Smells Awful!”

• The Bob's Naturally Bob Latex line by Bob's

Posted by Agnes L from West Newton, MA on April 15, 2012

Bob's salespeople explicitly said one of the positives of having a latex mattress is that you "won't have to deal with all the off-gassing" of a memory foam bed. Apparently they failed to mention how awful the latex bed is. We've had to change our sheets every other day, our ... →

“Good support”

• The Spring Air Four Seasons line by Spring Air
• Purchased from Sleepy's (Riverton, NJ)

Posted by Chris F from Riverton, NJ on November 23, 2009

• Purchased from Healthy Bed Store (Folsom, CA)

Posted by Sheila S from Fair Oaks, CA on January 24, 2012

A wise person once told me, "You can always make a mattress softer, but you can never make it firmer." Therefore, I intentionally bought this mattress knowing I might prefer a bit more cushioning in the long run. But I'm telling you, the support of this mattress is amazing! For ... →

• Purchased from Sleepy's (New York, NY)

Posted by Sara R from Annapolis, MD on April 25, 2010

• Purchased from Healthy Bed Store

Posted by Mary S from Lakeside, CA on March 15, 2012

When you first get your bed, definitely walk on it for a few minutes for about three days. This will help break it in and also release the "gas". The first day,we made sure that we had the overhead fan going, whole house fan going (to clear out the room ... →

• The Radiant Pillowtop model from the Carolina Mattress Guild Nature's Image line by Carolina Mattress Guild
• Purchased from Sleepy's (Tolland, CT)

Posted by Mike B from Central Manchester, CT on August 26, 2012

Just like most other reviewers, I was extremely disappointed when I got the mattress home, and found out it wasn't as nearly as plush and comfortable as the store model in the showroom. I guess CMG produces a special, high quality showroom mattress to "trick" buyers into falling in love ... →
