Spa Sensations 8" Memory Foam Mattress, Twin 4.5 5 948 1069
Firm but a good value For the price my husband and I figured it was worth it. We bought the king 8" mattress. I was a bit worried since I am not one for a firm mattress, but we figured for the price we can always buy a thin softer memory foam topper to make it just right.We ordered site to store and it took a little longer than hoped, just over 10 business days. It was compacted in a manageable sized box and weighed 70 some lbs. It rose to full size fairly quickly and was sleepable in a few hours, though did take a few days before it was fully where it was supposed to be and the memory foam softened up.Others have commented on the smell, and yes there was a chemical smell that lingered in the house for a few days. I have a sensitive sense of smell and it didn't really bother me.It is a firm mattress. (If you want a comparison, the Ikea most firm memory foam mattress is somewhat similar). You sink in and it conforms around your body but still stays firm. If you sit or kneel, you really sink in, but once you lay down and disperse your body weight it holds much firmer. I am a small person, a bit over a 100lbs, and I don't sink in as much as I would like to. I think it is more comfortable for my husband.Something to note is that it does seem to hold body heat a bit more than a regular mattress. For me that's a plus, but for those who like a cool bed, a pillow topper might be a good option if it bothers you too much.All in all it was an excellent buy. I am going to wait a few more nights before I make a decision on a topper as each night seems to get a little more comfortable. 12/21/2010
Oh My Gosh I have been wanting a memory foam bed for years, because I have back problems and always work up stiff to the point the I could not move. I can NEVER sleep on my back and the first night I woke up on my back and was affraid to attempt to get out of bed, because I knew I would be sore. Low and Behold I was able to get up and only had a slight discomfort. My back is feeling better and better every night I sleep on this mattress. When I noticed Wal-Mart sold these I started checking them out and reviewed ALL of the reviews. I did not have a smell from my mattress and that was one thing I was worried about. I just let the mattress air out about 3 days before I slept on it.The ONLY down fall I have noticed is on the third day of sleeping on this mattress I was late to work one day and the next day I was ALMOST late to work. I sleep SO well on this bed that I DO NOT want to get out. I would recommed starting to sleep on it on a Thursday that way if you oversleep it will be on a weekend and you wont be late to work.I have a coworker that has just purchased one and she will be getting it tonight, just in time for the weekend...I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE It. 05/04/2010
Nice bed According to sleeplikethedead.com, 80% of users are satisfied with memory foam beds. 20% of customers who do not like memory foam either complain that is too firm or it gets too hot. Spa sensations is ranked pretty good on their site, that is why I purchased it over the Slumber 1. It comes in a box all compressed up. It fits in the back seat of a 4 door sedan. After taking it out of box, I would let it air out at least for a day due to the smell. The smell is not noticeable unless you have a sensitive nose and directly sniff at it. The first two days, it did feel too firm for me, but now its perfect. For $250 King size is a bargain compared to Tempurpedic. 11/14/2009
Softer and Firmer than you think This bed is awesome. When I first received it I was like no way will this expand to 8 inches. Well after 1 day it was at six inches. I know cause I measured it. LOL. Decided to wait one more day and call cust service and say I was sent a 6 inch however it met the ruler to the inch. My girl friend and I have enjoyed every night on this bed and don't wanna get out of bed. So much room. We are fairly large individuals and we bought the King for $250. A steal. I highly recommend this bed and the Slumber 1 foundation $95 for king frame foundation. 01/15/2010
