First of all i wanna stress how many mattresses i looked at and reviews i read before making this purchase. It seemed most, if not all, of the hybrid mattresses offered on Amazon have a mixed bag with the reviews. Some people love the mattresses and some people have so many negative things to say. I was nervous to spend $200ish on something i might hate and while it is theoretically returnable, there’s really no way to get it back into the box to send back. So i was apprehensive when i finally forced myself to just choose one. I went with this one partly because it had a higher percentage of 5 stars and also partly because i was making myself crazy pouring over reviews for weeks lol.
I’m super glad i went with this one. I saw in a lot of reviews that not all the mattresses “inflated” to the full size and others had whole sections that were noticeably weaker than the rest. This mattress is PERFECT and exactly as described. Super simple to set up. I saw some people saying that when the mattress unfolds it can throw you into the wall if you’re standing in the wrong place but honestly if you open it according to the instructions, that is not going to happen.
I’m not sure if this mattress was described as “firm” or “medium” but I’d place it at medium firm. It is being used by my 90lb teenage daughter so i didn’t really have concerns about her sinking too far into it. Maybe for a heavier person that might happen but it really seems pretty supportive. It rose to its full height right away. The edges and corners are firm and supportive (in the video the foot of the mattress looks like it didn’t fully rise but it was caught under the footboard, it popped right up once i moved it out from under that bar). We gave it an extra day to do its thing anyway, but it seemed ready to use right away. I didn’t notice any type of smell like others have mentioned.
You’d never guess this mattress came in a box. Definitely a great option for someone who doesn’t have access to a truck or any type of vehicle that can fit a mattress. Even if you do have the means to transport a full size mattress, purchasing right off Amazon and having it brought to your door without additional shipping fees is just easier.
I did have some issues with the mattress being shipped almost a full week after it was meant to arrive, but Amazon listened to my concerns and made it right.
I’m planning to purchase a second one when i upgrade my son’s bedroom! My daughter loves it and says it’s super comfy.
