My frame arrived Saturday and I opened the mattress which was tightly pack and compressed. My mother said it's soft like a "feather".
I talked to Brentwood since I live in Los Angeles, a few miles from the factory, they told me it needed more time to inflate to the full length and call back in a week if its not for an exchange. We put it up on a metal foundation http://www.amazon.com/Sleep-Master-Platform-Mattress-Foundation/dp/B006MIVR06/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1404910712&sr=8-2&keywords=king+metal+platformI can't believe this is the same bed in the reviews!
He kept repeating, "Sir, just put the plastic back on". First, my parents have tempurpedics and that's when we first decided we must buy a memory foam mattress, but not wanting to spend thousands, we opted for online shopping.
It was almost like something from "I Love Lucy." Roll out mattress to cover bed frame.Your new Brentwood Home mattress will expand on its own. I wish I made the discovery sooner! Each of our five specific comfort zones are uniquely positioned to support your back, hips and shoulders. Also felt like we were rolling off the mattress as the sides did not seem to rise up as high as the center, so there was a downward slope. He gave it a second night, then refused to sleep on it again.I developed hip and shoulder pain. However on hot days it doesn't help cool you, I would say it almost feels like it holds your body heat during some of the hottest nights from this past summer, it's really the only down side I've found with this mattress.I have had this bed for a few weeks now and must admit we really like it. I notice I toss and turn less than my sleep number, and with a $500 adjustable base from wally world, Im in quite a state of luxoury, though I do wish I had ordered a 12" or thicker mattress. The first was very soft and somewhat broken down after about a month's worth of use and was a queen size. I am very satisfied with this purchase.So I've been sleeping on this mattress for roughly ten months now.
I highly recommend it to everybody who wants a good mattress for deep relaxed sleep.I was a little leery of purchasing a mattress on Amazon, but the local brick and mortar stores are so expensive, and I never really feel like I get to browse and look at the selection because a high pressure salesman follows me around, chattering away all the while. I let it air out for 3 full days and found that the corners were malformed as if they were melted (see photo). Before I bought this I was sleeping on a hand-me-down sleep number that was horrible on my back. I started eyeballing memory foam mattresses. Wish I'd never bought this mattress.I needed a hypoallergenic mattress and I chose this one because it had good rating, reviews and in the description of bed itself was everything I was looking for. It is about 8" thick, not 10". NOTE: I am NOT compensated for my reviews in ANY way.i bought this mattress (king size) after reading pages and pages of reviews and deciding that i would take the chance. Less than $400 for a king... You can't beat that price in a mattress store.
The base never fully expanded, so the left side of the mattress hangs over the base... Looks like a beret! It's actually very soft and mushy, which is exactly what I wanted. Now I'm trying to figure out if I should return this one because 2 corners aren't square and I'm not sure if sheets will fit well in the long-term. I think the issue at hand is that all these companies that have sprung up are new, Brentwood included. First, the mattress is softer in the middle than around the edges. Sheets fit it perfectly, the dimensions are correct so we are very happy with this mattress. This mattress feels more supportive than the "best price" ones we have but I assume its because this is 13" thick vs the others which are 8" & 10".I researched many mattress materials and prices. so i receive the package and me and my boyfriend open it up and it starts to inflate immediately. I hope that whatever caused the holes did not go through to the mattress but I will be checking that out tonight. They arrived carefully shrink wrapped, for shipping.
