Sadly way too hot

This mattress is like a cloud to sleep on. I love its feel, but I can't sleep through the night without waking up sweating. I have to have a fan on to sleep on this mattress. Such a disappointment as I love jumping into bed it's so darn comfy. Tried a Leesa mattress before this. I didn't have the hot issues but I did have neck and shoulder pain because the mattress was too hard. Hopefully third time will be the charm. I'm going to try the Serra icomfort blue max touch 3000.

Double Whammy!!

I couldn't find a place to leave a review where I purchased the mattress from so I'll leave it here instead ;) I suffer from insomnia and back pain. I chose this bed mainly because it was a hybrid. I had determined I needed memory foam. I needed to not feel my boyfriend getting into bed. And I needed a bed to help me stay asleep. So far so good. I have the kind of insomnia where after I fall asleep if I'm disturbed in the slightest and causes me to wake up, I'm awake for good. This bed has helped tremendously with those issues. The memory foam helps me hunker in for the night (I'm not a toss & turner), it fills my shape to take pressure off my back, and I'm never awoken by disturbance in the night. For the record I don't have or sleep with pets or kids. My back pain is from scoliosis not from a back injury.

4.5 yr old with deep sleet indentations

In the process of filing a warranty issue with Mattress Firm. As only 4.5 yrs old with a 30 year warranty. the sleep area indentions are 1 3/4 to 2 inches deep very noticable, looks like waves on the ocean. Warranty allows for a maximum of 1.5 inches. WIll report further as the warranty process progresses. Very disappointed as I bought the best available Beauty Rest Black king set at the time 8/12

Great Mattress!

This is a really nice, sophisticated mattress that has thousands of coils, memory foam, and feels awesome! I would suggest trying this mattress at Mattress Firm or wherever, along side a 100% memory foam bed. It's much easier to switch positions on this hybrid than a total memory foam mattress, and more supportive and comfortable, in my opinion. I look forward to getting into bed every night with this Wellington hybrid. The normal cost is around $5400, but we got it for $4000 at Mattress Firm in Atascocita, TX. Give it a shot!

Buyer Beware - Foam Does NOT 'Loosen Up'

If you like a very firm mattress, this is for you! I bought this mattress because I have a very bad lower back - degenerated lumbar disks and need good support. I'm 5'9", 130 lbs. This mattress has a lot of foam on the top above it's firm coils and was very comfortable in the store. I've had this 2 years now and it's never felt like the one in the store. It's VERY FIRM. When I returned to the store w/complaints that this mattress is much firmer than the 'same' one in the store, I was told that the foam would 'loosen up' over time. In the interim, I should remove all the bedding from the bed and walk all over on it w/hard soled shoes to 'loosen up' the foam. The foam has never loosened up and I'm now seeking my 2nd mattress topper which will be 3-4" of soft foam. I will say, the support is there in this bed and it's got no sags in it, but I'm not very big and what weight I do have is spread over the length of the bed w/my height. My hips and shoulders hurt unbearable w/o any sort of topper.

Good choice, could have been better

For a mattress that has been used on for only 1 yr, the plush surface is beginning to show some body impressions. I probably would have been best off with a firm mattress for the same price. But the customer service provided by Greg was by far the best in any industry. He was always attentive. I almost was going to switch up to a firm before the first 30 days but he recommended i give it a full 30 days and once the first 30 days was complete the comfort and support was better as my body needed to adjust to the new mattress. However over time the support level diminished and it was too soft for my back. By then it was beyond the swapping period.

The purchase was handled professionally from start to finish. The finance terms could not be beat. And, the free TV was the frosting on the cake. We are very satisfied and we will definitely consider Gardner White and seek out sales associate Lenny B. for future purchases.

Too soft

We have had this bed for over a year. My husband and I have both have back and neck problems. We paid 2,000 for this mattress. We can't afford to replace it! Worse mattress ever!
