Signature Sleep Contour 8" Reversible Mattress, Independently Encased Coils, Bed-in-a-Box, Full

I'd just like to comment that I think some of the negative reviews miss the point. First or all some discuss being way too firm, and some way too soft, I would suggest that these may be defective products since the mattress I received is neither too firm or soft, and more than just I have laid on it. So I believe it's possible that there are defective units, although it's purely my speculation. More importantly some reviewers have stated that this isn't a five star mattress but rather people were merely impressed with it's delivery and expansion, which clouded their judgement. I disagree, and I disagree because when we review items on Amazon.com we are reviewing it based on all factors. Simply put it's not a five-star mattress, it's not meant to be, that's why the price tag isn't $1,000+ but what it is, is a very comfortable mattress, for very cheap, which comes delivered right to your house (free 2 day shipping with prime, which is just that much better). I write this review as I lay on it, the padding for the top is very soft, and does contour to the body, it's not too firm, it's just right. The only thing which really separates it from a traditional mattress is perhaps the edges are not very firm, meaning if you sit on the edge of the mattress it will compress almost fully, and also if you were to jump with your full weight on the mattress it will compress more than a typical mattress, but in reality neither of these should be issues in the real world. I've used traditional spring mattresses, memory foam, and now this, and this is probably my favorite so far, and when the price and convenience is factored in, it's a no brainer. The only thing I cannot comment on is longevity, but I will update this review down the road commenting on whether it lasted 6+ months. The bottom line is, to everyone else this will be a comfortable quality mattress, it's not gimmicky, it's not some cheap temporary solution like an inflatable, it's a legitimate mattress and before purchasing my issue was believing something this affordable, and something which could be compressed into a duffle bag could be a "real" mattress, well as I lay on it now (and I've had it for a couple weeks), I can say it is a real, comfortable, quality mattress. I wouldn't let the negative reviews scare you from purchasing, if this one caught your eye you're probably on a budget, so don't hesitate just buy it, you wont regret the decision. If you're looking for a mattress comparable to a $1,000+ pillow top, or something, this may not be the "five-star" mattress for you, but for us regular people, it's just great. EDIT: 3 Years later, I still use and enjoy this mattress. I don't disagree with anything I've said, and I've had others buy this mattress who were in need of a cheap, good nights sleep.

This mattress (as I sit with my legs sprawled across it) inspired me to write my first online review in probably two years (I can get a bit lazy, hence the leg sprawling). I recently graduated from college; moving out of my parents' place and supporting myself and being a contributing member of society and other dumb stuff like that apparently come along with this. So, I moved to my own apartment, and for the first time in my life, had to purchase a bed. As a 22-year-old moving to Chicago to go to grad school with nearly no money, I was thinking cheap. But I had been told that "cheap" is a relative term when you're looking for mattresses; most of my friends had payed upwards of 400 bucks for a "cheap" box spring/mattress set. Thankfully, in a twist of fate, I went to Amazon and searched "mattress." Lo and behold, there's a 180-dolla (sorry folks, price has increased since I bought it) mattress, just sitting there, all like "Hey! Look at me! I'm a mattress! On Amazon.com! Yep! The same site you buy overpriced protein powder and used Stephen King books from!" Needless to say, I did a little research and found the catch I was looking for: it comes shrink-wrapped, rolled up in a duffel bag. "Ummm...yeah, no," I thought. But, just for fun, I went to YouTube and searched something along the lines of "video of unwrapping bed that comes wrapped in plastic that you have to cut open and it inflates itself." After watching a video or two, I was astonished to see that they really do magically turn into a soft-yet-firm, fluffy, plush, bouncy lil' mattress. With the added benefit of knowing I'd be able to watch it inflate before my very eyes, I ordered. After about a month and a half of sitting, sleeping, studying, reading, lounging, laughing, crying (I watched Titanic while laying on it, so sue me), and sulking because I have strep throat on this mattress, I decided it's only fair for me to write a review. Let me tell ya, folks: this mattress rules. I bought the cheapest bed frame from Walmart (which, may I add, is amazing), along with a bed skirt, mattress topper, and jersey sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond, and I swear this is the best bed I've ever slept on. It's soft and bouncy enough to remind you, "Hey! Look at me! I'm a real bed! With real springs! Go ahead, bounce on me!" but it's also firm enough to be like "Hey! Look at me! I provide support for the lower back you complain to all of your friends and family about all day long! I'm not like those lousy air mattresses! Go ahead, lay down and feel my support!" Also, don't listen to the people who complain that you "fall off the side." Yes, there is no wiring around the sides of the mattress, but I sit on the edge of my bed all the time and I wouldn't have ever noticed (I'm a 185 lb male -- yes I do cry from Titanic SO SUE ME). These complaints actually made me nervous about purchasing, but honestly, it's truly negligible. There literally isn't anything I can think of to complain about with this mattress. There were no smells, it's the right size, it supports the weight of two people, the springs don't make any noise, and, most importantly of all, I've had some amazing nights' sleep on this baby. I love sleep and I'm a snob for a comfy bed; I'd highly recommend this one. Disclaimer: Bed does not actually talk.
