I called City Mattress

I called City Mattress in Henrietta while I was on my way home on the NYS Thruway. The salesperson Eric was very knowledge and efficient when I inquired about models and pricing. I was so pleased at the ease of speaking with him that I decided to get off the Henrietta exit on my way home. When I walked in the store I was greeted by Eric and he showed me the mattress we had discussed. I noticed a different model close by that I was interested in because it was a similar model to the others I have for my kids. I asked for the best price, he gave me a great deal and that was it. He set up delivery for the next day and I was out of the store in less than 20 minutes. The delivery guys were also on time and they also asked if they should remove their shoes which is nice because most contractors do not and it's annoying. Overall, this was my first time buying from City mattress and it won't be my last. I actually called another sore in the area I had bought three mattresses from before I called City and the sales guy was short and not helpful. Their loss! Nice job City Mattress and thank you Eric!

I purchased the 'Red'

I purchased the 'Red' mattress a year and a half ago. The guy (can't remember his name, was the Manager) was nice, but I wanted a pillow top and he convinced me I wanted the 'Red.' He assured me it would be better for my fibromyalgia. He also told me that it would feel warm for awhile, but would wear off. The heat is still there, worse with hot flashes and I get lower back pain when sleeping on it. I paid over a thousand dollars for a full, not at all happy with it! Don't be swayed by salesmen! Get what you want, then you only have yourself to blame if you're not satisfied.

We have a defective mattress

We have a defective mattress and we're told we were out of luck! I don't understand why City Mattress did not stand behind their product. I never write reviews but when my husband is sleeping in a crevice the size of a canoe and I'm sleeping in the equivalent of a kayak, I can't ignore it. We've had two 'lemons' now and this mattress was sold under warranty and we paid for the upgrade from our old defective one. Now here we are again with a lemon with no one to help. So sorry we gave them another chance. I wish they would just make it right.

The sweetest dreams happen

The sweetest dreams happen on a city mattress after you drown your sorrows with five bubble teas from Tai Chi next door. I had a good experience purchasing my own mattress from one of the Buffalo locations, so I brought my friend in Rochester here, and pretended I wasn't secretly just trying to get bubble tea from next door. I've actually been in here twice but the aforementioned occasion was the only time we bought anything and she is extremely happy with it too. I mean the mattress. But that also.

Adam Miller was great

Adam Miller was great to work with. He was very knowledgeable and showed us an array of mattresses . Adam was not pushy and we felt very comfortable with him and walked out feeling positive about our purchase. Adam also gave us a discount on our mattress as we saw an ad in paper that would reduce the original price of our deal. The delivery guys were awesome and nice. City Mattress is the place to buy your mattress and have sweet dreams! Deb K

My hubby & I went shopping...

My hubby & I went shopping for a mattress. We all know how overwhelming it can be so many choices recommendations from family & friends we were dreading it! But we were Fortuante to be greeted by Luciano Ricci@ the Naples store on 4296 Tamiami Trail N He helped us choose the correct mattress for our personal needs. Then he told us we will receive a call to deliver mattress and pick up old one. Which we did first thing in morning so nice didn't have to wait around. Then I was given a time window of of 3 hours. To my surprised the driver arrived early. The deliver men where very professional, neat and took out old mattress replace with new took about 10min. Such a pleaseure all went very smoothly. I highly recommend CITY MATTRESS and to see Luciano Ricci

Great people...

Great people, great selection. Let us lay on basically every mattress in the store and knowledgeably talked to us about each one. Very happy with our experience here.

After purchasing the wrong size mattress...

After purchasing the wrong size mattress & box spring encasement covers due to miscommunication on my part as well as the sales associate's part, I called the store and spoke with the manager, Mike and he agreed to exchange the wrong size for the correct size even after I had opened the packages. Mike was kind, compassionate, and flexible with the exchange. In addition, while talking to him during the transaction I asked about pillows and he took the time to show me a few options that he thought would work for me. He was a wealth of knowledge and I even ended up leaving with the most comfortable pillow I've ever owned in my life! Thank you Mike, this is exactly the way a business and customer service should be handled.

We had not bought a mattress...

We had not bought a mattress in number of years and were anticipating making a difficult decision because there are so many different styles and price ranges. Gary is an excellent sales person who really knows the products and listens to the customers' needs. I think we were in and out of there in a half hour with exactly the right purchase. The delivery was also extremely efficient. While we were there, we also talked to another sales person and to the manager. This is a really well operated business, very customer oriented. No pressure sales; we were asked a lot of questions to ensure that we got the right mattress. We are very satisfied. So nice to experience professional customer service.

Thank you to Mike for working with me...

Thank you to Mike for working with me to get a different bed. And thank you to the salesperson that helped me, Janelle Harris. She was very kind, patient and knowledgeable and if she was unsure, her coworker, John Ogletree was able to answer my questions, I had a lot of them. I'll update this review after sleeping on the mattress a couple weeks. I would recommend the Jefferson Road store and ask for Janelle or John. City Mattress really does want to make you happy!

David was great...

David was great. Explained to him we hate our bed and have bad backs, etc. He hooked us up with the City Mattress Sequoia Queen Plush/Firm. WE LOVE THIS BED! Can't thank you all enough. What a great place to buy a mattress!

I could not be happier...

I could not be happier with the service here. Mike is a mattress scientist. He seriously knows his stuff and genuinely cares about finding a mattress you'll love. What a breath of fresh air compared the cold, disinterested car salesman types at other mattress stores. Save your time and go straight here.

I worked with Gary...

I worked with Gary at the Henrietta location and he was amazing he knew the product better than anyone I have ever spoke to about a mattress he was very helpful and knowledgeable plus gave me a screaming deal.... I had a warranty issue with an older mattress and he took care me exceeding all of my expectations!!!!

Mike was great...

Mike was great. Very knowledgeable and no pressure. Very quick delivery. I know we're we will be going when we need to purchase another mattress. Great experience!

Sleep is important...

Sleep is important which makes picking out your mattress a very significant decision and can be stressful, but my wife and I was put at ease by Gary who was patient and willing to take the time to show us all our options and answers all our questions. He was extremely knowledge and honest with us and made our experience pleasurable. They have a wide selection of mattresses which is nice because you can compare the different styles making sure you make the right decision..

This place will by far EXCEED...

This place will by far EXCEED your expectations - we live in Orlando, where there is not a City Mattress, and we love the service, quality and selection so much that we drove 150 miles to West Palm to get our latest mattress. After horrible experiences and pushy salesmen at the big chains - this family owned business blows the competition away. Gary was excellent - he and the whole staff make the whole process - easy and refreshing. I wouldn't buy a mattress anywhere else. Repeat customers for life for us!

I normally would not think...

I normally would not think to write a review on a mattress store. How boring can that be? BUT, my experience at the North Palm store was outstanding. I went into the store needing two beds and needing delivery in two days. I worked with John. I told him what I was looking for and what I did not want in a mattress. He immediately went to work showing me what I wanted in the price range that I was working with. No high pressure, no switch and bait, just a very nice experience. Prior to visiting this store, I did a comparison quote at one of the nearby national chains. This City Mattress store beat them in price and in-store service. Hands down, no question about that. The delivery was on time and the guys were super friendly and set up the head boards without being asked to do so. I don't think it gets much better than that! I would certainly recommend this store. I can see why other folks are giving this store a 5 star rating. They work hard at giving great service. Keep up the good work folks!!

Mattress stores

Mattress stores are on damn near every corner, where to do business? Our experience with this City Mattress location was nothing short of stellar. We needed a special height box spring and sales associate Vicki Tallini was knowledgeable as to the solution, and they had this not so typical item in stock. Excellent price (we had done some research), yes delivery is included, yes they'll take the old box spring out. We ordered it about 3PM on a Thursday and they are delivered it and in place by 10AM Friday. Impressive. Can it get better (you may ask) and the answer is a resounding YES! Delivery was by Delvyn and Robert; they called before arrival and went above and beyond in their service. Without asking they completed the headboard installation that was half done by our movers, waited while those allusive dust bunnies (although our home is immaculate!) that hide under a bed were hunted and captured, and HELPED get the bed skirt in position before putting the mattress in place. All pleasant and with a smile! Drive past those stores named Giant, Firm, Discounter, Warehouse, and the King too. Head to City Mattress; a beautiful store, large inventory, excellent pricing and exceptional sales and delivery associates.

Wide selection

Wide selection, unpressured shopping experience, on-time and professional delivery, what more could you ask for? It's hard to tell what a mattress should cost with all the media advertising and "discounts", but we got a chance to try a range of prices in the general style we wanted, and John gave us information without trying to influence our decision. I would recommend this location to any one.

Vicki is the one to see

Vicki is the one to see if you wish make a purchase at City Mattress. She is knowledgeable, outstanding personality, not only interested in making sales but cares about your needs first. and, returns phone calls almost immediately. I like that in a sales person. Highly recommend Vicki and this location. The Best!!!

We came in from NY

We came in from NY and needed a new mattress immediately. As we pulled in to the lot we were told by a lady that they are so nice to do business with. As we entered the store we were greeted by a wonderful lady named Vicki. We told her our requirements and within a half hour we chose exactly what we came for. The delivery we were told would be today on a Monday and we would get a call in the AM. Everything went as planned and we couldn't be more pleased. This place is top notch. We did go to Macy's prior and were told it takes a week. I wish this place was in NY!

Very good experience

Very good experience with City Mattress. They were not pushy, very professional, and the delivery was fast and on time. Would recommend them to anyone.

I went here to get a bedroom set

I went here to get a bedroom set and a mattress. The saleswoman (Carol) was great. She was very knowledgeable and did not try to pressure me in any way. I ended up getting a bedroom set and a "luxury firm" mattress. After sleeping on it for 2 months I decided it was too firm so I went in and a different great salesman (Chris) helped me find one in the same price range which wasn't so firm. So besides having a very large selection of mattresses and bedroom sets they also let you exchange a mattress in the first 3 months if you aren't happy (with a very reasonable $100 delivery fee). I didn't think I was going to have to use it but I'm really glad that they have this happiness guarantee.

We shopped for our new mattress

We shopped for our new mattress last Sunday. The staff was very helpful, yet not too "Salesy" as I have experienced at some stores, hence the reason we tried a new store. Our salesman was quite helpful and gave us as much time as we needed (which surprisingly wasn't all that long for something as big as choosing the right investment). I would definitely go there again.

Wonderful service

Wonderful service from the minute we walked in! We were shown several options and the rep was pleasant the entire time. He was very attentive and gave us a great deal. The store was clean, well lit and the displays were very appealing to the eye. Thumbs up. We'll be back for more!

Carol helped us

Carol helped us and was so generous! We got a great mattress that looks like it will last a while. We got a 1 year no interest deal that helped so much!

I needed a new mattress

I needed a new mattress because of water damage in my apartment. When I went into the store I didn't know what I was looking for but Theresa was so helpful and amazing, she knew what I needed and what I wanted more than I did. She had the best recommendations for me and had me lay on the beds for 5 min, which I had never had anyone have me do before, and it really helps you get a sense of the right bed for you. Because of the damage in my apartment my landlord was paying for the mattress and Theresa was beyond helpful in that aspect as well and could not have made the process any easier for me. The guys that delivered the mattress were also so nice and professional and were in and out in less than 5 minutes. Everything was fantastic and I would recommend everyone go to City Mattress.

Very disappointing

Very disappointing. We purchased a bed just to return it within the allowed time period. The second bed is awful, and now we are stuck. Bed one felt amazing at the store. We spent over $2800. After a few nights, the sleeping areas sank drastically. We returned to the store to test another bed made by the same manufacturer because it was the next in line regarding firmness. We went more firm hoping to eliminate the potential to sag. (They no longer carry this brand which is made locally. A reviewer actually had the same issues we are having, and the manufacturer got involved-and failed). The sales rep made a snide comment that it likely due to my wife's pregnancy that the bed wasn't a fit for us. Hmmm...I'm not pregnant and the opposite side of the bed reacted the same way. Bed 2 delivered 4 hours early. They waited for my wife to arrive at the agreed time just to be rude and question why she wasn't ready earlier. He was intimidating; sticking folded up paperwork in her face to sign. This bed is horrible. I went to City Mattress expected the Cadillac of beds just to receive a Yugo. We purchased our children's beds at Extreme Discount mattress with low expectations and ended up with a better customer service experience and more comfortable beds at the fraction of the price. Just this week I had reps from City Mattress take a look at our bed. Our mattress needs to settle yet another inch for it to be considered abnormal. You literally have to put effort in to roll to the middle of the bed. All beds settle, I understand, but how does at $2000+ bed go lousy after 2-3 years? City Mattress cannot do anything except perhaps give me a new bed at a lower price. So basically I would have to buy another over priced bed from a company I don't trust and potentially have 2 king sized lemons? I asked that a manager call me to talk pricing and to schedule a visit and haven't heard anything the next day as requested. "We stand behind everything we sell. That's our commitment to you" is City Mattress's motto. Do you think my experience reflects this mantra? I would not suggest shopping here at all.

Helpful

Salesman (Chris) was helpful and professional in helping us choose the right bed. Gave us plenty of time to decide without pressure. Overall great shopping experience.

Walked in looking

Walked in looking for bookshelves or a desk but they don't sell any...but Theresa was a gem and sold us two awesome pedestals...stop in and ask for her.

Excellent service.

Excellent service. The sales associate was incredibly knowledgeable and nice. My wife and I had shopped at several other locations and had a good feeling when we walked in. We left with everything we wanted and needed.

I had an excellent experience

I had an excellent experience at the location on Sheridan in Amherst. I was there near the end of March 2018. My sales associate Theresa was fabulous! I went into the store knowing what mattress I wanted. A splurge...the Tempur Pedic Cloud Supreme. I compared it to another Tempur model just to be sure I was getting the right firmness. Theresa insisted I take all the time necessary to be sure and was so patient and helpful. I did not feel pressured in the least. I have now slept on my new mattress for almost a week. ABSOLUTELY love it!!! Highly recommend City Mattress. Great friendly service.

I purchased a mattress from city

I purchased a mattress from city mattress after they may beat a price on one I found at Bon-Ton. I should've stuck with the one I found at Bon-Ton! I paid more money than I have ever paid for a mattress and it is awful! It sunk in the middle and it is far from the firm mattress I was told it would be. Very dissatisfied, will not go back!

I've had two really nice experiences

I've had two really nice experiences at City Mattress so far. The first was when my partner and I were out and about looking for a specific bed frame model and gathering ideas. We stopped in City Mattress on a whim and had an excellent experience with Joe. He was able to tell us more details about the bed we had in mind, such as where it was made, its construction, and feedback he had heard about it. He showed us other options and made us really think about what we were looking for in a bed when it had more so been something we were mulling around. My partner and I ended up going back to the same brand we liked and totally unrushed we were able to browse its catalogs since we didn't see anything on the floor that struck us. We didn't make a purchase that day but the impression left was very positive. It wasn't so much sales as giving us the information so we could make the right choice for ourselves. As others have said, the sales person gave us space to think, which we needed. Ultimately that great customer service is what brought us back to City Mattress knowing we were ready to buy this time. We knew the bed frame we wanted and it was a matter of narrowing down mattresses. The sales person showed us a number of options, telling us about the various bed constructions and durability, figuring out what we wanted and needed. The lower priced options were on equal level as the higher priced and we didn't feel pressured to swing toward something pricier. He also gave us space to think and try, to narrow down. We walked out feeling confident with the bed and frame we chose. The nice thing was be able to pick a delivery time and day, and they that don't charge you to for extra trips, which is nice since we were told bed frame would be in at a much later point. The salesperson said both could be delivered at the same time but my partner and I wanted off our old rock. Our mattress set was delivered a week later with no problem. The guys were in and out and we were able to carry on with our day as planned. The bed frame was 4-6 weeks but it ended up being 8 weeks, which was the only ding in the process. Once again the guys were fast and efficient. I love our beautiful bed and frame! I would highly recommend this company.

I am writing to tell about my VERY POSITIVE

I am writing to tell about my VERY POSITIVE experience with this store this week. My son is a UB student. We had very little time to furnish his room. We were told to go to City Mattress by a friend. The salesman Joe was so nice, professional, and a pleasure to work with. They had free next day delivery and called with the delivery time which was exactly the time they came. The delivery men were so polite and asked if they should take their shoes off before entering the house ( even though it was a dumpy college house!). They set up the frame and mattress in minutes. We even found a lamp on sale there to go in the room. I don't usually write reviews, but when something goes so smoothly you must let it be known.

Excellent customer service.

Excellent customer service. Joe Cuddahee showed me all the mattress in my (low) budget, and let me choose the best one for me. Purchasing was easy and efficient, and delivery was the same. I would buy here again in a couple of years, and would highly recommend to friends and family.

In from out of town recently

In from out of town recently to help my 86-year-old Mom move out of her Amherst condo and down to Texas. She was moving limited items long-distance. What to do with the old queen mattress set? Some junk luggers wanted as much as $175 to take it to the dump! I called City Mattress, where she had purchased the set 8 years ago, and the kindly clerk who answered -- Jacques -- said they'd come and get it for $35, which sounded a more reasonable fee. The two young men who arrived to take the mattress and box springs were so sweet! Such good customer service! I had no problem tipping them as they were fast, efficient, and did not complain, despite the fact it was a walk-up and raining outside. Too bad such a nice mattress will end up in the landfill, but "nobody takes used mattresses anymore" (due to bed bugs, etc.). Very helpful team here at City Mattress! Don't hesitate to buy a mattress from them!

Was pleasantly surprised

Was pleasantly surprised after my experience at City Mattress this past weekend. Was searching for a mattress for my sister who is moving into her first off campus college house, so our need was for something cheap yet durable to last her a few years. Upon entering, the store gives you the impression that it probably doesn't have any college type mattresses but this is a misconception. We told one of the workers exactly what we needed and two reasonably priced options were shown. We ended up going with a decent full size mattress that came to $405 including the bed frame. Judging from the quality, I think the price could have been dropped down into the 3's. The edge support isn't superb. Delivery is free as well, but not same day delivery so make sure you come in a few days before you need the mattress delivered. The store itself has other products besides mattresses. Upstairs, there is a section with furniture that isn't cheap but is definitely worth taking a look. I don't know if the quality of the mattress is as good as other stores in the area sell but time will tell! My favorite part about the customer service here was that we were given some time to think it over and breathe without a salesperson breathing down our neck That's hard to find but definitely helped win us over!

pleasantly surprised

pleasantly surprised and verrry happy that the man and i stopped into City Mattress on Sheridan this past holiday weekend, as we were in search of a new mattress to cradle our world-wearied bodies. we thought for sure that it would be out of our price range, and that we would be ignored as we had been at the previous two mattress shops we visited. Joe Cuddahy is THE MAN. go in, ask for him, prepare to get great customer service. he didn't balk a single second or flinch at our meager budget (of course i want a lusciously soft Prana Sleep mattress, but the corner's been a tad slow lately due to the windchill, ya know?), and he was very patient as he taught us about mattress firmness and whatnot. all in all, we got an A-MAH-zing new mattress set for UNDER our budget, and we even came out with a sturdy new frame and high quality, warrantied mattress pad in the deal. and it was delivered the very next day...BOOM! i LOVE going to sleep now. its really awesome when a 'local' business respects its customers and treats them right.

Terri is such a gem

Terri is such a gem, we highly recommend her and appreciate her kindness and helpfulness while shopping for a new bed! She took so much time with us and helped explore which options would be best. She was so sweet and helped us make a great selection for my mom. Terri is so wonderful and we will recommend her to all of our family and friends. She is the best!!!

I think everyone should get one of these, they arrive in a tall but moderate size box, After unboxing you cut the plastic cover and it starts to expand to its normal size, I find it VERY comfortable and it keeps me from getting too hot at night. I am sleeping better than at anytime in my 67 years!!!!

Best sleep in years

This is the best mattress I have ever slept on. I know some people give it a bad rating saying it is too firm, but it really is only about personal preference. I have slept on hard beds and this is not one of them. Yes it is firm, you don't feel like you are sleeping on a soft pillow top but I don't think that is best for your back anyway. I had back surgery last year and this mattress addresses issues that no other mattress has, regarding the many issues my back requires. It take a night or two to get used to the difference but once you stick with it, you will be happy you transitioned.

I'm happy with it

As of today, this mattress is a huge improvement over our last one. It is quite tall and doesn't need a box spring (we have it on a wood platform). The mattress is firm, but given a few minutes, you sink into it a bit, which really makes it quite comfortable to sleep on at night. It doesn't keep cool quite to the extent as I was hoping. It's pretty humid here in the warm Florida Panhandle, but I wasn't expecting miracles. Good value overall for the price tag.

its just as good as my very expensive beauty rest mattress.

I have owned this mattress for over 1 year and love it. I bought this as a toddler bed when we were transitioning my son from the crib to a bed. This bed is tall enough that you don't need a frame for it. For the time being, we have the mattress on the floor with no frame and don't have to worry if my son falls off the bed. The bed is comfortable for him and adults. I often find myself sleeping in this bed as my son sometimes needs dad with him to go back to sleep. I love this bed and its just as good as my very expensive beauty rest mattress.

House divided

Pretty firm. I loved it, my wife hated it. If your looking for a mattress that's super soft like a plush DO NOT buy this. For a firm mattress this thing is incredible.

Would not recommend if you are shopping for a plush a mattress.

This mattress may very well be the firmest mattress that I have ever had the displeasure of sleeping on. If you want a firm mattress it would be a great buy. If you are looking for plush you should go ahead and purchase a mattress topper as well.

Not bad, not great.

This is our first memory foam mattress purchase. For the last 13 years we have been sleeping on a pillow top mattress, but that old mattress was getting pretty lumpy and old and I couldn't find the exact same brand to replace it. So we started mattress shopping..... ugh how I hate mattress shopping! After a couple of weeks of research, we settled on this particular mattress (in king size). Delivery was prompt and setup was painless. Open the box, follow the directions to carefully cut away the protective compression packaging and enjoy as your mattress takes shape in front of your eyes. We opened ours in the morning and slept on the mattress that night. It was a different experience at first and frankly couldn't decide whether we had made a good decision or bad. This mattress is really firm, especially if you put the Dreamaway Mattress Protector on it. We have used the mattress for a few months now and I think I'm finally getting used to it. I'm not an especially great sleeper any way, so it is hard for me to claim that I'm sleeping any better or any worse than before. Thankfully the lumps are gone :) and I can move around the bed at night without disturbing the Mrs. We had a really nice bed set, so I saved the box spring and frame and put the new memory foam mattress on top of that. Considering the price paid, ease of setup and pain free ordering / delivery process from Amazon I wouldn't say that I'm unhappy with the purchase. But for me it wasn't the paradigm shifting sleep experience that I was hoping for. One thing I want to stress is that this mattress is very firm, so if you're looking for a softer experience you should consider something else. We haven't slept on it in the summer yet, but so far the mattress temperature is comfortable. As for reports of chemical odors on memory foam mattresses....... this one was minor and gone before we went to sleep on it the first night.

Great bed, takes a little getting used to.

This is an awesome bed! It takes a little getting used to, but once you are, it's great! Definitely recommend two people to unpackage and place the bed, though I did manage by myself, it wasn't the most comfortable experience. My previous foam bed had a lot of off-gassing. With this bed, unless you put your nose right in it, you really can't smell anything.

Good quality 'No-Sag' Mattress

This is a really good quality mattress. After a year of use there is no dip or sag. Also the corners do not "bend" when you sit on them. I deducted a star because, at first the mattress was just too firm
for us. We were wondering if we had to return this.Luckily we tried a 2" topper from costco ($99) and that did the trick. Now we have a firm base with a plush top. Best of both worlds !

Love the mattress

Love the mattress, quality product. I previously slept on a cheap mattress with a nice 4" memory foam pad that was fairly soft, so this is a little firm for me although i'm sleeping well on it. Why I gave it 4 stars is that the listing says medium/soft feel but its no where near soft. Its more medium/firm. I'm going to purchase the extra plush bamboo mattress pad just to soften up a bit because a slightly firm mattress is probably better for me anyway.

No odor, regained "normal shape" after shipping and not too firm... Loving it.

I read a lot of reviews before ordering this and I was very concerned about the potential odor from the foam. Thankfully even when I first cut open the bag it comes in there was no odor at all... literally no odor (even with face pressed against the foam). So I guess that pretty much takes care of that.

As for any crease from shipping, it seemed to disappear in about 15 minutes. I did follow the instructions and I even went above and beyond by leaving it sit for 2 days before I slept on it. I don't see or feel any creases or any indication that it was shipped folded.

As for the firmness, it is a bit firm and softens up as you lay on it. It took a week to get used to it but I am very pleased with it now.

I am so happy I didn't waste $3,000 - $5000 on a Tempurpedic at the furniture store. :)

Excellent product....

Wish I would have bought one years ago. We both work midnights and when we finally get to crawl in and get situated " lights out " I don't even move. This matress is much cheaper than the pillow top we replaced. I'm going to replace our two childrens mattresses with these. I highly recommend them. No more back pain...that alone is worth it. Excellent product for the money. I don't overheat either, very rested when I wake up.

1/2 the price of the popular brand...

This mattress is comparable to the Famous Brand memory foam mattress I have used at a friends home. However, this cost half the price. The only drawback is finding bedding that fits the thickness of the mattress...

Great mattress! Firm but fair.

My other mattress was a spring with box frames. It was over 15 years old and sagging. I think I used it for way too long beyond its usefulness. I should have replaced it years ago. I think the old mattress ruined my back as well. I could not sleep soundly for any longer than 4 hours before my back would start hurting. Then I would just shift and turn the rest of the night. Needless to say I have not slept well in at least 6 months to a year, if not longer. My back only hurt when I would sleep so I could almost definitely attribute it to a deteriorating spring mattress. I decided to make the switch to a foam mattress to try something new. This mattress appears to be well constructed in the materials used and the mattress covering. It is a firm mattress for sure. I have had it for about a week and am still getting used to it. My back still gives me trouble at night but it is markedly better and improving. I think my back is just now resetting itself from years of terrible posture during sleep. The firmness was a concern because I am a side sleeper at times. I have found this mattress not to be an issue for me though. I went with this one because the reviews I saw said it was not as firm as the one with the gel-foam layer and the gel-foam layer one was not recommended by side-sleepers because it is firmer. This was a great purchase in my opinion. My wife likes it and I am getting used to it, and my sleep is improving. The other concern was the heat that some people had mentioned. I have found zero issues with heat transfer. I don't even notice it. The mattress expanded almost immediately after removing it from the bag and was ready in just a few hours really. We slept on it that night.

this is the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on

this is the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on. i had previously purchased one in a full size so when I upgraded my living arrangements i got a king size. the mattress is firm but soft on top and very supportive. get deep pocket sheets for it. you wont be disappointed.

No price can compare to a great nights sleep!

It did take me a long time to shop around to finally make the decision. I shopped for over a year for a new mattress and with my experience with my last mattress I needed to be sure before I spent so much money not to be satisfied. On my last purchase I spent over $2500.00 on a Seally posterpedic job. I thought I was shopping smart and purchased a close out model. I figured since I was shopping at a reputable dealer and purchased a product with excellent reputation I would be happy. I was far from that 6 months later, the mattress did not show any signs of wear. I was able to set a 8 foot level across the mattress with only about a 1/2" of variance across the surface which is with in specification. Even though the product was within the manufactures limits the product did not provide much support, I am 160 pounds at 5'9" and my wife is all of 110 pounds at 5'6". My point is we are physically fit active people and the product had us waking up multiple times through out the nigh and when we had to wake up we were often feeling tired and sore from sleeping on this product. We talked to the dealer to try to warranty the product, since the product was with in the specification and operating within the set of limitations set by the factory I was stuck with it. Well at $2500.00 at 6months old I was shocked that a product that seemed to be a great product at first was failing us so quickly. So with all that said I have had this new mattress for going on 3 weeks now and I must say it has alleviated all the complaints I have described about my previous mattress, I believe that it is too soon to effectively rate this product accurately with out seeing if I will have a problem because of having the previous product only 6 months and being so unhappy overall, having a mattress for 18 months and trying to get a replacement for a year I was happy to get a good night sleep. I did read all of the manufactures guidelines on how to care for it properly and they all are clear and reasonable to get the most out of it. This product sleeps comfortably in relation to temperature, on my conventional innerspring mattress I was a hot sleeper and was constantly throwing the covers off in the middle of the night then waking up freezing cold. With this product I reach my rem sleep very quickly and sleep all the way through the night waking up crisp and refreshed ready to conquer the day! This product supports me and I wake up with no pain or sore muscles. I have had friends that have purchased this same mattress and are still satisfied, I am truly hopping we have the same experience, a warranty doesn't mean a thing if the guidelines protect the manufacture. Not sure about this warranty by reading it I would have to say it may not be much of a warranty, In the event you want to make a claim you have to pay to ship and return ship to you so that they can inspect the product. This leaves me to only guess that if I had to request a warranty replacement it will not be an easy transaction.

I am in love

I am in love. This is the best thing since sliced bread. My husband was not interested
In buying a mattress on line. It came there was no smell like some viewers mentioned.
It came early which was great. I am telling everyone what a great experience this was.
PS I have never written a review before.

Very comfortable. Came vacuum sealed and expanded to full size ...

Very comfortable. Came vacuum sealed and expanded to full size very quickly. Not too firm. Does seem to be a little warmer than other mattresses. Can't beat the price though. Make sure you buy extra deep fitted sheets to fit.

Super Nice Bed!!

We really love this bed despite what everyone is saying here. Yes the bed is firm, but it's a cushiony firm.

Let me describe: the bed has great support. Coming from a nice expensive pillowtop spring bed, this bed is firm. Something that we were looking for after 5 years on that pillowtop. This bed has healed my bad back too!

Feels like sleeping on a Twinkie!!

Great Mattress, and a good value

Great value....comfortable...no-cons for me... It's amAzing that it was delivered in such a small box compared to the expanded size...just open the box , let it expand and air out....( smells like baking cookie crust ...for a few days; )
I carried it up 4 flights of stairs by myself...I sometimes carry my guitar amps (fender-tube) up and down ,,, so the 90+ lbs weight of the bed wasn't an issue... It's just bulky... I weigh over 200lbs and over 6'0 ft... Just to put things in perspective...so if you are out of shape ...pay someone to move it....once it expands.. It's much easier to move around... Just bulky...oh yeah... My place is hot all year long....haven't closest all my windows in 18 years .. The temperature of the bed is balanced... Not hot , not cold....
Even when it over 90 deg in the house...I don't know about durability , but time will tell....

I love it!

its been a couple of weeks now.. i unboxed it and it unfolded in a couple of hours.. so i put sheets on and slept on it the first night.
I have been having soreness and stiffness for a while now from my former "innerspring" mattress.. and it was a very expensive one.. with 2000 coils etc. but my body was screaming at me every morning!!
So I thought i would give this mattress a try becasue there were so many good comments.
I love it! Yes, the first night it was firm, kinda scary.. but it softens up to you in little bit and then you dont feel "sunk" but I did feel supported. Its been a couple weeks now and I am going to put a 1 inch memory foam topper for a softer pillow top effect, but i do love the level of support and NO MOTION from your partner.. I am sometimes a restless sleeper, getting up and such, and my partner feels NOTHING. I will never go back to an innerspring mattress.. this mattress is the best i have ever had and it didnt break the budget.

Sleeping soundly w/o pain

Very happy with purchase. Bed is as described. I have slept well on this mattress from night 1. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new mattress. There was no smell and I slept on it 12 hours after opening.

Finally, a mattress that doesn't send me into a black hole...

This is our first memory foam mattress, and beyond what everyone else has said (positive), we are completely in love with this item. We replaced a sinkhole mattress (heh) with this, and the price was too good to pass up (I was in the process of ordering a queen when the web page refreshed and showed me the king mattress on sale for less than the queen!).

It IS a firm mattress, but only until your body starts to warm up the foam a bit, then you sink (but not too much!) slightly and suddenly it's heaven. Very impressed, considering it feels exactly the same as the $4500 Tempurpedic model I took a nap on in a local store.

Everyone will like a different mattress, but my advice is to give this a try. It might take a night or five to get completely used to it (bonus if you have a memory foam pillow to go with it!), but it is worth every penny and then some. You simply cannot put a price on a good night's sleep, no matter how cliche that saying is ;).

3 months in and the wife and I love this mattress

The adjustment from a spring based mattress to memory foam took some getting used to (more so for the kids, who were perplexed when jumping on it didn't provide the same gleeful launch)...but, 3 months in and the wife and I love this mattress. Price point was hard to beat and we haven't seen any issues with the mattress losing its shape. Very pleased.

Great mattress without the high price!

Wanted to try a memory foam mattress but didn't like the high price of the name brand sold in most retail stores. Found this online for considerably less and opted for the slight cost increase of the 14in version. Totally happy with this mattress! Slight smell from gases of foam a couple of days that has dissipated and nothing but a great nights sleep for me and my wife!

Money well spent

Firm but very comfortable. Its been a week and we have both slept well for a change. Bed arrived on time and was easy to unpack and set up. Others have stated you have to wait 72 hours after you unpack this to sleep on it, I think it was about 5 hours for us and everything was perfectly fine. I would not hesitate to buy this again.

Great sleep!

Love this from the very first night. The only problem is you have to stay clear from the edge as it sinks a little. So thick. We could have bought the less thick as this is a solid mattress - extremely comfortable and firm support.

More firm than I expected

I have shoulder and back problems. The bed has been good for my back, but terrible for my shoulders. My wife loves the bed so I give it four stars.

Great mattress!

I really like this mattress. It is firm and at first I figured perhaps it may be a little to firm for my body. I felt this way for the past 8 months of owning it (even though I've been sleeping fine the whole time) until I went on vacation with my girlfriend to Atlantic City. After staying in a hotel on a softer bed I could definitely feel a difference when waking up. I;m only 31 years old but I could tell my joints were a bet more stiff than I had gotten used to. Overall even though I never owned the cheaper version of this be I'm still very satisfied with my purchase.

Firm Mattress...

WAY too firm. Ended up with neck and back pain.

Firm

I've waited 6 months to write a review because I really wanted to have some good perspective. I tend to like a soft mattress and fall asleep best on my side. The first few months were rough; this is a firm mattress and I woke up in pain when I slept on my side, still do. This thing gets even firmer when the temp drops and living in an attic in VT the temp gets into the low 60s at night. With all that said, this is the best mattress I've ever had and look forward to every night's sleep. My wife likes a firmer mattress and had lots of hip pain from our old bed and now she has none. This mattress is best for back sleepers and I have learned to appreciate that and a firmer mattress. I love how it conforms to my body and I'm not disturbed when my night owl wife or restless dog move around. Well worth the money and it should soften up a little over the years. Is not hot at all like some reviews say, but if you need a soft bed look elsewhere or go to a store where you can try it out first.

A good deal and product

I've had this mattress for about 10 months now and am fairly pleased with it. It was easy to deploy (impressive to watch once you open the bag). Make sure you have it arranged properly before cutting the bag open. Though a little heavy I was able to deploy my king size mattress alone. It did smell a little for a couple of days but was not intolerable. The price is pretty good and I'm pleased I bought it. I've recommended it to family and friends. I'd actually like it a little firmer but some seem to think it is pretty firm. My only complaint, common to all memory foam mattresses, is that I can't move very well on it. I'm used to my old mattress having a grippable edge to help me adjust but this one has a soft edge with nothing to easily grip. Still pretty pleased with it though. Recommended.

FINALLY - no more tossing and turning for this side sleeper!

I cannot say enough about this mattress. I had a crappy innerspring that made my neck and back hurt, and I was constantly tossing and turning. I had looked at memory foam mattresses in person and decided that was the way I wanted to go, but thousands of dollars, really? Surely there must be a more economical alternative. My budget was $1000 for a queen mattress. I wanted something less firm, but not too soft. I came across this line and this 14-inch memory foam mattress was the softest of the bunch. And for $600? Ordered! 2 days later I was sleeping like a baby. No more back pain, no more neck pain, no more waking up 10 times every night.
The mattress had no smell right out of the box. The only cons I can think of are that it's extremely heavy and it might be too warm for some people. But I'd buy this mattress over and over again anyway.

As others have said, this mattress is very firm ...

As others have said, this mattress is very firm. It will get softer after 24-48 hours, but having tried many memory foam mattresses of this type, it is quite firm. I agree with the description that this mattress is ideal for side sleepers and provides ample support.

Not exactly "soft-medium", but appears to be of good quality.

Quite a bit stiffer than one would expect from a mattress categorized as "soft-medium", but we shall see if it softens up as time goes on. We had to buy an additional pillow-top cover in order to make this mattress tolerable. It does not get too hot or cold and offers excellent support, but it is stiff unless you are a heavier person. Still seems to be of good quality construction and time will tell how it holds up - will try to return in a year to update.

Very comfortable for older person with hip arthritis.

I add my opinion to the thousands. With a bad neck from a 1982 motorcycle accident, I slept on a bed made from a plywood deck with 4 inches of ordinary upholstery foam for the last 34 years. Extra firm, like the floor. I am a side sleeper, and after passing 55 some time ago, I developed arthritis in my hips, among other places. I had the ultimate surgical repair of my neck in 2010, so my neck no longer required a hard bed with precise pillows. My wife and I slept on the Alden last night, fell asleep immediately, and were reluctant to get out of it in the morning. It was blissful. I got a name brand mattress cover that supposedly provides cool comfort. The mattress seems warmer than 4 inches of foam, but not unpleasantly warm. Use a lighter blanket, or during the winter, set thermostat to 60. I read many of the reviews, including the negatives saying this is too firm. A carpeted floor should be used as a measure of hardness (1) and a sack of goose feathers as soft (10). This mattress would be a 4. Most importantly, it relieved the pressure on my hips for a pain free night. If I did not have a few more years of work, I would spend 12 hours/day in this bed.

Excellent purchase

This mattress replaced a memory foam mattress that we had purchased 7 years ago from a different online vendor. I researched the highest rated mattresses. (Consumer reviews do help, so please share yours, regardless of your experience.) I learned who the best manufacturers are and how long one can reasonably expect these to last (about half their stated warranty, sometimes less). This was one of two brands that we considered, the other was not in stock and we needed a new mattress, STAT.
Shipping was fast, cost was reasonable, and my back is much improved. If you haven't slept on a memory foam mattress, it's difficult to describe "firm but forgiving." Lots of support, but support that feels like it's made just for you.

I absolutely love them. I would recommend the med-firm for people ...

This is my 2nd Sleep Innovation mattress from Amazon, the first one was a 12 inch firm. this is a 14 inch med-firm. I absolutely love them. I would recommend the med-firm for people weight under 170lbs.

Great mattress for the price!

I purchased this mattress after having been really unhappy with the rock hard firmness of the Sleep Innovations Taylor mattress.

This Alden mattress is described as being medium/soft. There is really nothing soft about this mattress. It is medium/firm, at best. But, I like a firm mattress and this mattress is firm but VERY comfortable. This is a very good deal for a mattress, there's no need to spend thousands on a highly marketed brand.

really great mattress.

I will update this as necessary as time goes on.

The box is a bit of a pain to move (roughly 20"x20"x40" and 100 pounds). Once I got it in place, there have been absolutely no issues. Cutting off the shrink wrapping was no problem at all, and it was actually kind of neat to see the item return to its intended shape once out of the shrink wrap. When I cut the first layer of shrink wrap off, it almost sounded like the mattress took a breath.

I had read reviews that mentioned an odor issue at first, but there was no odor on mine even immediately out of the box.

The mattress looked like it was back to its usual shape within an hour, but the material that comes with it says it might take a few days.

Also, this is a fabulously comfortable mattress. For me, it is firm but not so firm that it feels like you are sleeping on a board.

I would highly recommend this product, and I might be purchasing another for my guest bedroom.
