Its like sleeping in a coffin

This mattress leaves impressions of our bodies...It feels like sleeping in a coffin! I have to pull myself out of the "hole" each morning and my back aches tremendously from it! It was okay for about a year before the impressions began to show. There is a hump in the middle of the bed between where my wife and I sleep. We have turned the mattress multiple times as well. My wife is 130lbs and it does the same thing to her side. This is the second Beautyrest mattress we have had in 7 years. We had to have the first one replaced (as it was still under warranty) for the same issue. We are going to just buy an inexpensive innerspring mattress. Would probably hold up better!

Big mistake buying xtra firm

I’m a small framed woman (5’2”,110lbs) and my partner is a average male (6’, 175) in our early 50’s. It was a big mistake buying an extra firmi was fooled by how soft the firm demo had become in the store and convinced boyfriend to buy extra-firm. Its 5 yrs old and hasn’t budged. Still rock hard with no give. We feel it has aged us. I’ve developed terrible neck and back pain and neither of get a fully rested sleep. I have spent hundreds of dollars buying various mattress toppers that can alleviate the hardness. All eventually fail within a couple months. It is so heavy, cost so much and is difficult to move (cal king) down the stairs, otherwise I would’ve insisted we ditch it. If you can handle sleeping on solid hard ground then this will work for you. Normally I would be thrilled that after 5 yrs it’s still in new condition. After 2 years of physical therapy, the only one thrilled is my physical therapist.

Sleeps way too hot!

This bed is very comfortable as far as being a side sleeper and needing relief on my shoulders and hips. But...THIS BED IS HOT!! There is way too much memory foam in this bed to sleep without sweating all night. Also, because it's memory foam you get the "stuck in the mud" feeling and it's very difficult to move around in. I returned this bed for a refund and won't purchase a memory foam bed again.

Obvious dent

I feel like there is a deep dent and tend to wake up within the 1st hour of sleep. It seems to aggravate pressure points leaving me tossing and turning all night. I've brought some friends over to observe the dent while I lay on my bed and they fully agree. We then went back to the store so they could observe me laying on the show room bed. I do sink a little on theirs but not nearly as deep. I'm really nervous about this mattress as my 90 day trial is almost up. Could it be I got a dud? I think I gave it a really good try but truly not the mattress of my dreams.

Nice solid mattress, expensive but worth it

Needed something that could feel good, while supporting my weight. I tried several foam mattresses and my butt sunk into the memory foam with them, but not in the Aubrie. It had a distinct smell when it first arrived, that dissipated after week. It's definitely a firm mattress, but with enough give to help my back and shoulders. It's cooling properties are nice when you first lay down. I don't think it sleeps warm, but when you wake up it doesn't feel cool anymore. More like a traditional mattress. Assuming it holds up for the long term, I've found my mattress.

Bad dipping top layer separated from inside next layer

Slept on the mattress only six months as we go away for 6 months of the year always. Shrinkage very bad in both areas. Then the top layer of the mattress separated from its next layer of whatever and began to roll up inside. Inspector came out and agreed. Would not recommend buying until the manufacturer corrects what is goin on.

Should have bought it sooner

Have owned a Beautyrest for the past 20 years. This is my third one in that time frame. The one that I just replaced was 11 years old. Will only purchase Beauty rest. Chose to buy this one and have not regretted it one night.
