COOL GEL10 Inch Queen Memory Foam Mattress Medium Firm, Memory Foam Mattress Queen Size Cooling, Made in the USA, 10" Depth with Pressure Relief, CertiPUR-US Certified No Fiberglass, CoolGel Bed

After weeks of research including mattress store visits, finally took the chance and ordered the CB 12" Cool Gel Memory foam King Size. Having been a 'box spring & coil mattress guy my 60+ years' I was easy prey for the store sales guys, yet I resisted the easy path of plunking down $3 ~ $4 grand and after reading volumes of comparative details and thousands of reviews, would up here. For about 1/10th the cost it was well worth the risk. I even called Classic Brands cust svc and chatted about what to expect between this & the hybrid model that's near the same price. My head just can't wrap itself around a brutally squished up bunch of springs and foam popping up to a sturdy full size without any long term effect on those springs turning mushy over time, but I can better imagine how squished up foam by itself can possibly be reformed to a strong enough support.My UPS guy had never delivered one of these before and he's real interested in what we think after installed. The two of us pretty good sized guys wrestled the very heavy, pretty beat up, nasty, dirty box into the house together without any serious injury. After that, and much room prep + new platform bed set up, I managed to push the box across wood floors into the bedroom myself, carefully knifed away the mangled box, keeping the inner plastic cover intact, then wrestled / rolled the behemoth up onto the platform and into position for the grand opening. Carefully sliced through the cover while watching the mattress come to life and expand rapidly while it rolled itself out nicely onto the bed frame. about 30 seconds into it, I realized it was upside down and fast, drastic action was in order. I had my dainty wife push against the bottom of one side while I flipped my side up and over (thankfully it wasn't far from the wall on her side), then dashed around and re-slide the beast onto the bed once again, this time the correct side up. We were prepared to let it expand over night, but it was already fully expanded to it's 12" size within a couple hours, so we gave it a whirl the first night. As many other reviewers noted, it's firm, yet also plush at the same time. Medium/firm is what I'd call it. I sink in slightly, enough to make my back feel somewhat cocooned, but it's effortless to roll onto my side as well. I've been a 'firm' mattress mostly side sleeper guy forever, but this mattress actually lets me sleep very well on my back or side as I feel like. I know I'm changing position a lot less and when I do, the wife doesn't notice at all. We're both sleeping a lot sounder now, want to stay in bed longer when waking up as it feels so good and the occasional tango between the sheets has not been diminished in any way :-). Also, there's no heat issue for me, maybe even cooler for me than the past spring coil mattress. A tiny con may be that the edge is not as rigid as my past mattress, so it's less comfy to sit on the edge to put on your socks as you do dip down a bit, but that's no prob for us as we've switched to the foot of the bed for that where there's extra support platform from the frame that makes sock activity very easy. Perhaps these are not for everyone, but I'm 100% sold, as is the wife. Best mattress purchase ever for us at an amazingly low cost compared to the stores

To clear up a lot of confusion with this mattress, here is an Honest to God review....Summary:- Mattress was easy to assemble (cut package and roll/air out)- Smell was not that bad... It's expected, so have a fan ready and air it out.- Firm version of memory foam (Perfect for bigger guys like me) But I have a hunch it breaks in over time.- Quality seemed very nice.I just received this mattress yesterday ( 8/5/2015 ). The packaging was as expected, the Cardboard box was in rough shape but the heavy duty plastic on the inside was untouched. I'm a 6'2" 230lb athletic man that spends most of my free time in the gym, so getting the package onto my bed frame by myself was no problem at all. To a regular or smaller person, you might need an extra hand carrying the 90+lb package.Upon opening, I cut the plastic and everything went as expected. The mattress inflated itself within 30 minutes with the corners lagging behind (I just hit the corners with my hand to fluff them up and help them catch up) . I let it sit for 24 hours before laying on it. The smell is strong, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be. Looking at the other reviews, some of these people must have had a bad mattress, or simply can't take a little odor for a few days (they might be sensitive).Here's the biggest point... The mattress is a very firm version of memory foam. Right out of the box the mattress doesn't give in as much as you may think. It's perfect for someone like me because, like I've said, I'm 230 lbs and athletic. This thing offers the perfect support for me, giving in to my heavy points and supporting my lighter areas yet I can see somebody who's much lighter having issues. I say to those people, give the mattress time to break in. I'll update this in a few months with a follow up.Tonight will be the first night I sleep on it, and I couldn't be more excited. The 10 minutes I spend laying on it this morning almost made me fall right asleep again. I'll keep this post updated because there seems to be a lot of confusion on this mattress.* Off topic *The first one I ordered got mixed up in the mail due to the carrier, therefor I got my mattress 3 days late. Amazon's customer service was perfect and I couldn't have asked for a better crew to solve the problem.** UPDATE (08/07/2015) **- Last night was the first night that I slept on the mattress and I can honestly say I had a great night sleep. I didn't wake up in the middle of the night at all. I was cool all night (Granted I had a 17" box fan blowing directly over me) and the only time I got hot was when my lady friend came over earlier. I'm usually a very hot sleeper and people who complain about the heat of this thing should invest in a fan. Even without the fan it was very cool at first, but it did start warming up slightly after 30 minutes or so of laying in the same spot - but it wasn't that bad.I can say that I'm very pleased with my first night on this thing.*** UPDATE 08/24/2015Sleeping on this thing has been a pleasure. It's not revolutionizing, but it's much more comfortable than my last mattress. The smell is pretty much gone although it did take awhile. The smell was honestly not that bad and the only way you could really smell it was if you stuck your nose in the mattress. I don't wake up in the middle of the night anymore from tossing and turning. That's a huge plus for me because on my old mattress It felt like I had a cycle of waking up at 3 or 4am from tossing and turning. The mattress is still very firm, but like I said before, it's perfect for me because I'm big and heavy enough to actually sink in a bit.

Title says it all. I have a single apartment and this fit in my bedroom perfectly, cools me down, and was easy to set up. Takes a while to rise but that’s expected. It’s durable, came with no tears or wear, in perfect condition. This mattress is so comfortable and not too firm. I sink into it a little but it also contorts to your shape as you sleep. I’m a sweaty side sleeper and this is perfect for me.

Great comfort, when I sleep on firm beds I get a lower back pain...this bed is perfect and comfortable. We have one at our regular home (exactly the same) we bought this one to take up to our cabin for restful sleeps all Summer!

Tres tres tres confo

I like the packaging of this product, i didn't believe it was the right item i ordered for due to the packaging, i was amazed when i opened the box , it was exact same mattress i wanted 😊👍

Es un buen producto, ya llevo dos años con él y no he tenido algun problema.Se amolda cómodamente al cuerpo y te hace descansar de una manera agradable.No se ha deformado este tiempo ni tampoco ha bajado su nivel de inflación.Cuando lo compré estaba en oferta y puedo decir que ha sido la mejor elección.

Love this mattress . It was easy to set up and the bonus pillows are perfect. Never realized how much a new mattress would improve my sleep . This mattress is perfect not too firm not too soft . I will be letting my friends know about this great deal from amazon .
