We were in desperate need of a new mattress. We tried a competitor's for $3,000+, and returned it. So far we are pleased with the Love bed. I could stand to sleep better, but not positive it is the bed. Although I do wake often sweating, so perhaps better heat dispersion/distribution. Overall I would recommend this bed, it is ideally priced.

Quite good but not perfect, some numbness and extra warmth.
My expectations for this mattress were probably unfairly high, and (unsurprisingly) they weren't completely met.
Still, this Cal King Love Bed cost hundreds less than my previous Queen mattress and definitely feels better.
I am a big guy (6'3" and, sadly, well overweight). I have always slept on spring mattresses before, so this was my first foam/composite mattress. I went all out and bought the Cal King.
I've had back problems all my adult life (even before the weight gain) and this bed significantly reduced those. I would have given it 5 stars except a new (less painful) issue emerged... I usually wake at least once per night with numbness ("pins and needles", loss of circulation) in one arm (from the shoulder down). I've never had this before and it does interrupt my sleep, but its SO much better than the back pain I've had with other mattresses that I'm not going to complain about it any further.
A separate problem I experienced is common to foam mattresses -- excess heat (reflected body warmth). This is typically only noticeable in the summer and would probably not be noticeable if we had central air. (We live in the NC mountains, cooling is mostly via evening breeze.) In the winter I use flannel sheets and this bed is wonderfully warm without ever seeming too hot. In Spring and Fall I just switch out the flannel for percale and the temp is again perfect. Only in summer is it sometimes too warm.
The only spring mattress I've ever slept on that was any better than this was a Kingsdown. Still, the Kingsdown was only slightly better, and also at least twice the price of my Love Bed.
Three criticisms I've heard of foam in general are: "no bounce" (necessary for proper boot-knockin'), "no side support" (too easy to slide off the edge), and "bad odor" (VOC's outgassing when first unwrapped). I can gladly say none of these are a problem with the Love Bed.
Not perfect, but, definitely a cut above almost every other bed I have tried.

I love that I can't feel my partner flopping around, but it's still springy. It was a TOUCH too firm for me, but we added a down mattress topper we had around and it's absolute perfection now. Depending on your preferences, YMMV, but I really like it.
The company has been responsive to all questions and concerns--unless they were lying, the CEO responded to me personally!
It did smell for a little while when it was brand new, but it went away within a couple of weeks.
After trying a few other bed-in-a-box type mattresses, Joe at Nest finally helped me narrow down my search to the Alexander Soft. Wife is a side sleeper, I'm a stomach sleeper, and this mattress is perfect. It's not sinky like our old memory foam toppers, but still provides plush comfort that helps me not even think about the bed I'm falling asleep on. Great value too, esp compared to the rip off retails shops. There is more than "one perfect" mattress for you, so don't fall prey to marketing tactics: just try out a bed and when you find one that works for you, don't deceive yourself into thinking there's going to be one thats 0.1% better.
I honestly thought I was just getting old because I would wake up feeling like a truck ran me over overnight, if I were sleeping at all. I am so happy I found The Love Bed online. For us, the slight bounce and medium-firmness is just right. I look forward to going to bed now.
My wife and I are sleeping great on the love bed and for the price and the 100 night sleep trial we can not recommend this mattress enough. I have also purchased the nest pillow and it is a great product as well.

We returned the mattress and took advantage of the manufacture's refund policy. The manufacture kept their word and gave us a 100% refund. Although the mattress was not for us, the company was honest.
My husband and I went to a traditional mattress store in a relatively wealthy area and were shown mattresses in the $3K - $5K range. I couldn't believe it. They were comfortable, but given that I could buy a rather good used car for that amount, no way.
We then read about Nest Bedding and tried their Love Bed. We literally fell in love - it's comfortable with the right amount of "give," is very cool to sleep on, and the price is incredible given its competitors. We subsequently outfitted our entire home with them, and our guests have given rave reviews. They all think it's a great mattress.
My son seems happy with his mattress. I find when I get on the bed, it feels very squishy and the end collapses. It is on a platform bed but has maximum support. I didn't feel like it was an amazing mattress or that it cost much less than a regular mattress by the time I was done.
