Boyd Sleep Air Flow 8" Gel Memory Foam Mattress, Firm, Adult, Twin with Zip-off Cover

After sleeping on iffy spring mattresses for years I decided to research these memory foam mattresses I had been hearing about.I found This one to be the most promising and with it being 12 inches thick and having a 20 year warranty I figured,why not?I could alway's return it if unsatisied.I ordered the twin size site to store.The mattress is rolled up inside heavy plastic which is rolled up inside a box.The box felt like it weighed about 35 lbs and about 4 ft in length.Because it comes rolled up you will have no trouble transporting it.Now this is the twin size mind you.I could easily fit it in the back seat of my pt cruiser.A friend of mine did buy the queen size and she said she easily fit it in the back of her suv.After taking it outside of the box and unrolling it from the packing plastic I layed it on top of my bed frame.You need to have either a box spring or a thick,sturdy cut of wood to support the mattress.I use hickory which is cheap and stronger that was cut to fit my bed frame because I am through with springs.Wood is so much better then a box spring.Anyway you unroll the matrress so it can breath and expand.Mine expanded pretty fast.In just one hour it was 8 inches thick.6 hours latter it was 11 inches thick.I was sleepy and it looked and felt good enough to sleep in and so I went to bed.The next morning I woke up refreshed and the usuall morning back ache was not there.Past the first morning test.Later that day when I got home from work the mattress grew some more.It was now 12 inches thick.The mattress was supposed to take anywhere from 24-48 hours to fully expand and for me it was much faster.I did not smell anything stinky like some others have stated.It is a foam mattress and that is what it smells like,foam.One word of advice...the mattress comes with a bamboo cover which is waterproof and repells dust mites and of the like.It is not a sheet.It is a mattress protector.Treat it as you would a mattress pad.They don't have to be washed all the time like sheets.Every couple months should do it.It is a thick mattress so you will need deep pocket sheets or you could use a double size sheet.The bamboo cover is zippered on so taking it off and on can be trying but it's doable.The bamboo cover itself is also another reason why I bought the mattress.Bamboo bedding is pricey!So not only do you get a comfortable mattress,you get a top notch mattress protector which is waterproof,mite proof,and allergen proof!Sleeping on this is like sleeping on a fluffy cloud that craddles you.I hav'nt had a good nights sleep like this since I was a small child with no cares in the world.I can't believe people actually stated this mattress was too firm.How can foam be firm?It is also not too soft.I had no problem getting out of bed or sitting on the edge putting on my shoes in the morning.This bed is just right.Don't like it?Get a full refund then.Either way you won't be loosing money,just sleep.It has been a few weeks and I sleep better than I ever have.It's worth giving it a try....

What a great value this was. I have been shopping for about a year for a memory foam mattress to replace my 7 year old pillow top Sterns & Foster, which was such a disappointment. I just couldn't see paying the thousands of dollars some stores were charging for a memory foam. When I seen this on walmart.com and read the reviews I just had to get it, after all if I didn't like it I had 90 days to return it. My mattress had no smell like others have mentioned, and within 12 hours it inflated to it's full 12", I was able to sleep on it just a few hours after set up very comfortably. I was also concerned about being too warm, but so far I haven't had that problem. This bed is not too soft, and not too firm. I'm a side sleeper, and I no longer wake up with sore hips. I just hope it holds up. I highly recommend this mattress.
