COOL GEL Classic Brands Mercer Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid 12-Inch Pillow Top Mattress | Bed-in-a-Box Full

It has only been about two weeks since we received this mattress, but we have found the previous excellent reviews to be accurate. I bought this mattress for my young adult daughter. She likes a soft mattress and has found this to be very comfortable. It feels firm with the coil underpinning, but sleeps soft. I have not slept on it, but the foam layer actually does feel cool to the touch. I plan to check this out myself one night to see if it actually does sleep cool, but my daughter is very cold natured so I wasn't really worried about this for her. The covering is very high quality and after removing mattresses without carry straps, I really appreciated them in getting the bed situated on the frame. It also arrived about a week earlier than Classic Brands indicated it would. I'm not sure if Classic Brands is packaging this differently than when the early reviewers received theirs, but we were really disappointed that we didn't get any of the excitement mentioned by previous reviews. The box was slightly damaged, but the inner plastic coverings were in perfect condition. It came with two layers of regular plastic covering and an inner, thick plastic that compressed the mattress. The shipping company would have to really abuse this box when shipping to get the compressed mattress dirty, in my opinion. We situated the mattress roll on the bed and then carefully removed the first two layers. That left us with the inner plastic that slowly unrolled until we had the compressed mattress flat on the frame. After cutting the thick inner plastic, the mattress slowly inflated. We were all standing around waiting for it to explode open, but all it did was slowly inflate. We were quite disappointed! Given how it was packaged, the only way I could see for any explosive openings would be if you quickly cut through ALL the layers at one time. The mattress was almost completely expanded within a few hours and by the end of 48 hours, it was completely reformed. I measured the height and it was a true 12 inches. If you measured right at the very edge where the seam is, it was slightly less, but if measured a little away from where the edge pulled the topper together, it was the full size advertised. There was a little smell that you often get outgassing from new textiles, but the smell was pretty much gone after a couple of days. I do agree that the purchaser should plan on the mattress needing two or three days before sleeping on it. If I had been willing to shop at several different locations, I might have been able to find a good mattress at a slightly cheaper price, but the ease of having this delivered to the door in a "small" roll was rather nice. Given the look and feel of this mattress, I have high hopes that it will last for a good number of years. We'll see.

I recently purchased these mattresses for bunk beds in my guest bedroom. I wanted to find something affordable yet still comfortable for when friends and family come to visit. These mattresses have been a great choice so far! For the price, the quality is excellent. The mattresses provide a good level of comfort and support. They are not too soft or too firm, but seem to hit that sweet spot in between that makes for a restful night's sleep. My guests have consistently remarked on how well they slept when staying in my guest room. The mattresses fit the bunk beds perfectly and don't shift around. I appreciate that they are durable enough to hold up to repeated use. Even after several months, they haven't started to sag or develop indentations. I would highly recommend these bunk bed mattresses to anyone looking for an affordable, yet still comfortable, option for outfitting a guest room or kids' bedroom. The quality rivals more expensive mattress brands but at a fraction of the price. Based on my experience so far, these mattresses deliver an amazing value for the money. I'm glad I took a chance on this lesser-known brand because I've been extremely happy with the purchase.

Pleasantly surprise with this mattress! Basically it does everything they say it does and it's also very comfortable. It came in a quite small package when compared to fully extended mattress. I let the matter rest and come to shape for a few days as i didn't have an immediate use for it and when I tried it the first time I was quite happy with my purchase. One thing to keep in mind, the package is only small but VERY heavy, you need 2 people to handle it comfortably.

I have slept on this mattress every night for 6 months now. It expanded to the full 12" thickness in less than an hour. It never had a strong smell like some reviews mention. I examined it very carefully today while putting on a new mattress protector, and there is no hint of sagging/deflating of the foam or springs. It is a bit firmer than my previous mattress which cost $1500 from a major department store, but I find that it is more comfortable. The edges don't sink when I sit on the edge. It doesn't even bother me that it now costs $90 less because it was still a great value when I purchased it. I was contemplating buying another one for a spare just in case it didn't hold up, but I now realize it will not need replacing for many years. Honestly, I don't understand how anyone could find a negative thing to say about this mattress. Update: approaching the two year mark with every night use. Still looks and performs like a new mattress. Still love it! 3 year update: still has the look and comfort of a new mattress! Anytime I hear someone say they are shopping for a new mattress, I recommend this one. You could spend thousands on a mattress, if you want, but there is no way it will be more comfortable and durable than this one. 5 year update: still no spring sagging or foam breakdown, looks like new and as dreamy comfortable as it was 5 years ago. I sleep on it every night and lounge on it on my days off as I prefer the comfort over my sofa. I added a feather mattress topper to make it even cozier.

Got this for my 18 year old son and he absolutely loves it. It comes vacuumed sealed and it was very easy to set it up. It does have an odor when un-packaged - we let it sit for few days before he slept on it and the smell is all gone. It is on the firm side but he really likes it that way. He loves it so much that we are looking into buying a second one for our bedroom
