This is a piece of junk. We tried to get the manufacturer to replace it. The guy came out and barked: "How old is this? " It was about three months old, within the warranty. He took some measurements and said he'd get back to us. HAH! Don't buy any of their junk. Their expensive junk. After a while it flattens out and gets less awful, still lumpy. We have ours turned sideways.

Paid $1400 for the set, and within 6 months had to get it replaced due to sagging where we sleep. They (Ashley) came out and measured, and had a 2 to 3 inch sag. They replaced it with same, have had it now for about 6 months, and is showing same signs. After they replace it the second time, I'm going to call Sealy and see what's wrong with their quality. Will definitely go with another brand, this one is absolutely terrible.

We bought this mattress in full-size for my 4 year old son's "big boy" bed. It is the best mattress we have ever bought. It is extremely comfortable. We recently had a guest sleep on it, and he said it is the most comfortable bed on which he has ever slept. Seems to be the perfect balance between firm and cushion-y.

Great, inexpensive mattress for a twin bed. I originally purchased this for a daybed in a sunroom that got mild use. My dog and I both loved sleeping on it and it was very comfortable. Later, this was used for my toddler son. It still seems pretty comfortable after 5 years.
I plan on using this mattress for at least another 10 years, hopefully it should last. The only weird thing about the mattress is that it can only be turned but not flipped over. I thought mattresses could be flipped over as well as turned so long as they don't have a pillowtop. Not a big deal, but just found that odd. I think the manufacturer was trying to save a few $ by not putting a nice cover on all sides of the mattress. Bought mine at Raymour and Flanigan for $149 in 2005.
Overall, we have been very pleased with this mattress from the very beginning, although it began to show some wear after about 6-7 years.
When we first got the mattress, it was absolutely dreamlike to sleep on -- the pillowtop was perfectly plush, but with a firm underlying support. We looked forward to getting into it every night, and dreaded getting out of it each morning. I can safely say that this lasted for at least the first few years.
In terms of durability, we have had it now for about 7 years, and it has held up reasonably well overall. Personally, I still sleep quite well on it, although it has lost some of its cloud-like feeling. We have not really had any problems with body impressions, which I know are a common complaint with pillow-top mattresses, which is probably because we have always been extremely diligent about flipping and rotating it. My wife, however, has started to complain of sagging in the middle of the mattress for the past couple years, and has recently started to tell me that she wakes up feeling rather stiff from time to time. This seems rather early for the mattress to be losing its support, especially since it is supposedly a rather firm mattress (underneath the pillowtop, that is).
Prior to owning this mattress, we had a locally-made mattress, with which we were really happy. Then I got pregnant, and had a lot of hip pain. I tried chiropractors, doctors, and exercise, but it wasn't until we switched to this mattress that the pain disappeared! The mattress is firm, but has a lovely pillowtop that makes it feel soft. We have both loved it from day one (my husband has no hip issues, and he also thinks it's great). It has now been 5 years since then, and it is still very comfy. 3 pregnancies later, I would say that there is a slight dent where I sleep, and I can't flip the mattress because of the pillowtop, so the dent will have to stay. But it is really minor, and that is my only hesitation about this mattress. In all other respects it has been excellent.
This is probably the best bed I've ever slept in. Great support, but the pillowtop make it really comfortable. My wife and I have owned this bed for ~2 yrs. and have have frequently commented about what a great investment it was.

I was looking for an affordable plush top and I found it. I've had the bed for over a year and it's not sagging or drooping anywhere (despite the fact that I never rotate or turn it over).
We bought our mattress 7 years ago and it was great at first. I sleep on my side and the pillowtop was great in preventing my arms from falling asleep which tends to happen on firmer mattresses. More recently it suffers from a depression in the middle, caused by my husband hogging the bed :) that makes me feel like I am constantly going to roll into it. Overall it was a good buy and my complaints are likely due to age not quality.
