Sadly, this is the 2nd iComfort mattress we have had in 5 years. First one broke down considerably on the sides and body depressions. This one has body depressions and a hump developed in the middle. Coolness seems to be fine. Response to warranty when replacing the first mattress was quick and easy. Have not yet contacted them about the 2nd mattress. During the time with this mattress, both husband and myself have developed hip and shoulder pain. To the point of medical treatment. Didn't really realize it was the mattress until we replaced it with a hybrid...not made by iComfort. We are steadily overcoming aches and pains. Very unhappy with the iComfort and will never get another.

Starts out ok, firm, but then I Can't stay on my back. Guess it's Too firm even though I feel my buttocks imprint into the mattress. End up on front side but have hip soreness. Just not happy with the overall perfomance. 6 month return policy was good but I was out of town for extended periods then realized when was too late. Originally did NOT want to return TOO quickly. That makes no sense to me, but I should have. Live and learn. Will probably buy another mattress when time is right.

Still toss and turn alot. 

I have the I-comfort bed and love it!  It is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Its hard to go away and sleep on something else
