Resort Ultra Bed in Box - 12-Inch Cooling Gel Memory Foam Mattress in a Box - CertiPur Certified - King Size

The fact that the bed was not a strong chemical smell was great, being asthmatic this was a concern.

Hey everyone, Mike Jones here again with another quick and concise Amazon review.So up today we have the Live and Sleep Resort Ultra 12-Inch Queen Size. This item is hands down the best bang for the buck foam mattress you can find on Amazon. I rarely give any item 5 stars but 6 months after owning this item it still is a 5 star product. I was looking for a new bed and I knew I wanted a foam mattress, no box springs, and I wanted about a medium comfort setting. I went and posted up on a bunch of Tempur-pedic beds and I decided the medium setting is the one for me. And while the TP beds are awesome, the one that I wanted was $6,000 dollars. So, after about a solid month of searching, I decided to roll the dice and purchase this bed. And as I said, 6 months later and I am still loving it. It showed up, all 60lbs and all, and after I cut it open I put it in place in my bed frame and washed the top layer comforter in some light bleach. There was virtually no smell (which I read was a big concern for people) but I did let it air out in an open windowed room for at least 12 hours before I slept on it. It took about 24 hours for it to fully inflate but once it did I put the top layer back on, some new sheets, and crashed on it. Now, here is the funny part. I read from other reviewers that it took a few nights to get used to it and that their body hurt for a few nights and for me... this was absolutely true. I had incredible back pain for the first 3 days after I slept on this thing and all I could think about was what a f***** waste of money this was. Then, on the 4th night, I slept like a log and woke up feeling completely refreshed. Since then, no back pain at all and I get great sleeps. No joke, for the first 2 months after I bought this, every night when I was about to go to sleep I genuinely got excited about getting in bed. My girlfriend loves this bed as well! I rotate the mattress once a month and it has never deformed or broken down. The bed is a perfect blend of support and softness and it hasn't faded or become lumpy at all. I put this in an Ikea bed frame and I paid extra for the upgrade lattice support. You want to put this mattress on a firm support (like the ground) and if you have slats that are too spaced out the bed will sink into it. Make sure you get a solid base to put this mattress on, trust me it's worth it! The ONLY downside to this bed is that the corners are rounded. It's not a big deal, but it just means that it doesn't fit snug in my rectangular ass bed frame.The pros: Amazing comfort, incredible price, no odor, and it was delivered in a box to my front door! What more can you ask for?!?!?The cons: The mattress has rounded corners which does not fit flush in my rectangular bed frame.The overall: This mattress is perfect (for me) and I love the combination of plushness and support. If it lasts even 3 years then it's totally worth the money because for $500 you can just go buy a new one. I WOULD DEFINITELY buy this product again!I hope you enjoyed this quick review. If so, like my review as helpful. Thanks!_Mike Jones™

I am "returning this mattress because it is too soft for my comfort. However, I think it is a decent product. It seems well built, and the return policy is bizarre, I was told to do "whatever" with it. I don't have a credit on my money yet, so I kept it at 4 stars. I believe they will credit my account and once they do I will move it to 5 stars. Not real easy finding a place that will take a "used" mattress, even a few days not even Goodwill. That is a hassle. But I will find a home for it in the spirit of the whole return policy. As to the mattress itself, I would put it on the medium scale, just right in the middle of soft to firm. One thing about mattresses I have learned for myself, is I do side sleep, but trying out mattresses if I lay down on a mattress in a store on my back and feel a twinge of back pain, that mattress wont work.This mattress did get firmer after a few days, but still not right for me. It is almost impossible to convey back and forth what soft and firm and plush and so on means from person to person.I think this is a good product and could be trusted so dont back off because of my issues. One more thing ill mention that wont effect this but always know your measurements if buying bed from one place and mattress box springs etc from others, they do tend to run all over the board, for example I went to a local large and pretty well known furniture store. If you measure their king mattresses, they are 72-73 wide at least the pile on demo. Where a king is supposed to be 76. I cant find any standards that say a mattress must be plus or minus anything if its a king or queen or full or whatever, what got me to thinking was asking and sure enough what is put down as the width of some kings and most kings actually is 76, but no they had several brands and all were in the 72-73 inch range.Just make sure before you buy a $2000 or $200 bed set, just to be sure. And I truly believe for the price this would be a decent mattress, not a 20 year mattress, but a 10 year mattress. Why? Just because Ive looked at so many mattresses, and know a few things to look at that show up if a mattress is not a decent quality, and then the policy of return here is bizarre but I can see with the restocking and all that what a hassle over a $495 mattress. Again I think its worth the money it just didnt work for me, just a bit too much soft if that is the correct way to describe it.

I was very skeptical at first. Some reviews say it's great, some say it's not. I went ahead and bout the bed anyway and am happy with the purchase so far. I've had it for about a week now and it's pretty well made. Came in a compact box with a surprisingly comfortable complimentary pillow. Some reviews say you slide off the edge when you are sitting on it, they are true! I would say the edges are a little soft but the rest of the bed is great. I bought the 12 inch mattress and it is actually 12 inches. I would agree that it is about a medium feel.The only downside is that the cover was a little discolored in some areas. I'm not sure what it's from but I sprayed it down with some bleach and let it air out overnight. Great other than that!
