I was excited that this mattress is made of plant based products rather than petroleum based. It was firm and very comfortable. After only a year, though, a hump had developed in the middle of the mattress. Very disappointed when I went on the website and learned this problem was very common. The remedy was that the company would pay for it to be shipped back, and then measure the rise in the middle. If it was more than a certain amount, they would replace it, but if not, you had to pay for the shipping. Now it looks like the company is out of business.
Based on a call to Back to Bed rep & the issues of no center support left where I fall to the middle, they want me to pay a fee for them to come out just to look at the mattress then charge me another fee to have it replaced! Wow...after what I spent on this mattress already. I would never have purchased had I known how they handle warranty issues.

Had an old full-size traditional bed, so when we bought our house we upgraded to a queen and went for a comfy one that we knew we'd have for a long time. We've had our MiForma bed for about 4 1/2 years and still love it. We feel spoiled now any time we're out of town at our in-laws and have to sleep on an old one. We love being at home in our own bed!
Bought at Back to Bed in Orland Park, IL.
Life changing for me! Unbelievably comfortable! I LOVE IT!!
I've told everyone I know that my MiForma has been life-changing. I got it over 3 years ago and I still smile and sigh every night when I plop down onto it. I cannot believe how amazingly comfortable it still is - like sleeping on a cloud. It doesn't get too hot or cold. It's just fantastic! Love, love, love it!!
Smells likes chemicals and makes us sweat at night
We are so disappointed with this purchase. Complete waste of money. It smells horrible, even through a mattress cover. There is something wrong with something you sleep on smelling like chemicals. And, it makes you sweat all night long. No way to cool off unless you move to a different part of the mattress... it traps heat.
Thought I'd try a memory foam bed over previous Simmons innerspring which lasted a good 8 years before I had to put it out to pasture. Mi Forma was more in my price point - though obviously not worth it considering I needed to replace it due to horrible low back pain caused by sinking in the middle over time & retaining heat, though at the time it was marketed as sleeping cooler than Tempurpedic or other memory foam mattresses due to holes in the soy based memory foam. It's all B.S..
My mattress was the last thing I considered as the cause of my back pain as it was not even 2 years old.
I don't blame the store or salesman who sold it to me, just the product itself and it's performance over time. I tried it and it didn't work for me. I have now been bitten by a completely memory foam bed - never going back. It's the Innerspring for me. If I have to replace an innerspring in 5-10 years, so be it.
Oh, and think about it - no matter what anyone says - springs are better for sex - more traction, energy rebound... and a guy doesn't have to work 3x as hard to get the energy going, fighting the mattress and his partner who is stuck motionless in the memory foam bed! I ultimately decided to go with a bed with as little foam as possible (a Simmons Beautyrest Recharge - the less foam and cushioning (memory foam or otherwise) the more air flow you will have and the cooler you will sleep. Period. If mattress manufacturers would get back to basics and leave the technology to NASA, we'd all sleep better - and cooler!! AND cheaper!!
I came on to say how much we enjoy this bed because my back doesn't hurt, even after the Groundhog day snow then saw the earlier review that panned the bed.
We think this is a great bed and have told my wife's brother and her best friend, who both bought the bed. A friend from soccer also bought one because I was talking about it over a beer.
We like that it uses soy rather than petroleum in the foam and it is good for my allergies.
When they deliver the bed, it's really neat to watch the air fill it.
Maybe the lady who wrote the bad review got a bad bed or didn't get the box springs the store provides. With a 20-year warranty, why doesn't she contact the company instead of complaining here?
We think this is a great bed for the price and quality.
After 12 months there is permanent depression in the mattress where each of us slept. I now sleep in the middle on the "hump" and hubby in spare room on an old twin. We were told we'd love it after 20 years... and we HATE it after only 12 MONTHS...
