awful

we purchased this bed from the store in july 2014. when we tried this in the showroom, we were over the moon. after a few years with an innerspring that just wasn't doing it, this was absolutely wonderful. what arrived at our door was a totally different story. it was like a rock the first few months. and we wrote it off to the 'break in period' as we had been advised of. maybe the showroom ones had been laid on a lot. okay fine. fine if you can get past the discomfort and the off-gassing that took almost 3 months to dissipate and caused me endless upper-respitory infections and my eyes to be glued shut, then yeah, fine. after about 3 months, the smell went away, and the bed finally seemed comfortable, so we stuck with it. fast forward to this february, suddenly we both start getting severe lower back pain. my husband wakes up everyday and his legs are tired and swollen. my hips are locking up and extremely painful to the point i have trouble standing from a seated position. maybe we've been at the gym too much..working long hours...NOPE. rolled over last night and felt my hip hit the bed frame. in less than a year the foam has completely broken down to nothing. i sincerely was starting to think the pain was in my head. neither of us has had restful sleep in months and i've never been more sorry we decided to get a new bed.It's a flimsy piece of garbage. The stupid thing isn't even fully a king size. It comes up short in all direction requiring you to buy special sheets from serta to fit it properly. i would give this no stars if we could. from my understanding, serta is very difficult with their returns, thankfully we did add the the retailer protection plan, we thought, NOPE. They just came to do their inspection and were told that they most likely will not replace it because it's not showing a dip, and because so many people are trying to return them, serta is trying to crack down and deny everyone. so now we're left stuck shelling out for another brand new mattress less than a year later
