I got this mattress about 2 years ago. When I first got it it was great, now it's so crappy, I can feel the springs, and sometimes I hear like stuff is breaking inside. The mattress feels so lumpy now (when I first got it it had some firmness to it), now the surface is uneven. My husband and I are both thin people and I have been experiencing more and more back pain and difficulty sleeping. I also have to say it does not help regulate your body temperate, it gets hot and stays hot. It's like it will absorb heat and retain it which makes it difficult to sleep at times, even though we have the AC blasting. It feels like we are sleeping on a stove. I'm throwing it away and getting a new one from a different place. I have asked everybody I know and they tell me good mattresses last at least 5 years. I have only had this one for barely 2 years.
We've had everyone from small children to large adults sleep in these beds, as we have two twins in our guest room. Everyone who has slept on it has given it rave reviews. People often say they get better sleep on this mattress than they do on their own at home!
One woman has sciatica, and she said that the firmness of this mattress helps her leg/back pain.
The part I love about it the best is that the mattress cover is machine washable. We had one unfortunate incident where our friend's kid wet the bed. We simply unzipped the mattress cover (the stain hadn't penetrated the foam core) and washed it in the machine using OxiClean as opposed to regular detergent. Then hung it out to dry. Now it looks and smells like new.
I highly recommend this mattress!
For the first year that I had this mattress, it was fine and was comfortable. However, suddenly after one year, a huge dent appeared in the spot that I usually get on the bed, and shortly after that the springs began poking through and becoming painful to sleep on. I never had back pain before this mattress. Now I have back pain all the time from sleeping on this mattress. If you want a short-term mattress, go ahead and buy this. But if you want your mattress to last longer than a year, go elsewhere.
I wake up with pain in my lower back, and during the night I wake up seven to ten times during the night trying to find a comfortable spot. Finally decided to spend the money on a Macy's Beautyrest. My advice: buy the best mattress you can afford. Skimping on this purchase does not pay in the long.
