Im going to be honest here, the Bedes these replaced (purchased 2), were well into double digits in age and sorely in need of a new life as kindling, so it wouldnt take much to impress.
The 10 version of this Bed was recommended by a close friend whose entire family had purchased one for either their main bedroom or guest rooms in the last few years. Typical of a lot of things I figured two more inches HAD to be better, so we chose the 12 Bed instead.
This is my first foam (not innerspring) Bed and my first bed/in/a/box experience. Unpacking was easy enough, its the patience to let it rest and inflate thats the hardest part. After that, the first week the other person and I kept agreeing that we were much more comfortable and sleeping much better, but are you getting massively hot in the middle of the night! I checked all the products I purchased, the Bed says cooling somewhere, the non/plastic Bed protector (cats) says cooling, the aming 400 thread count cotton sheets said coolingbut damned if I wasnt waking up every night annoyingly clammy and hot. Interestingly, as the week wore on that started to go away and the housemate and I wondered if that had anything to do with the Bed slowly finally expanding and able to properly vent body heat away. Who knows, either weve acclimated or its better, but as I said in the beginning a bed of nails and coal wouldve had its merit over our old Bedes.
We also agreed that the Bed was a tad more firm than we expected for medium firm but that its agreeably so. The only thing that Im getting used to from the innerspring experience is sitting on the edge of the bed to say put on shoes or socks, the edge compresses a bit more than I thought it would. Its foam, so I get it, and when laying along the edge its not like I roll off from compression or anything, but its raised an eyebrow from me. Although at this price if we get 5/8 years from these Bedes theyll be worth repurchasing. Willing to update after a few months, but its been a few weeks and Im just so utterly happy I didnt spend twice as much at a Bed store, and would definitely recommend this to anyone on the fence.
Sweet dreams!!
