Bedinabox.com Memory Foam Mattress —
Great Sleep, Great Pricetag!My boyfriend and I purchased the 9" PacBed Original about a year ago. We were in the market for a new mattress because the one we had, a full, was too small. It was an older, regular innerspring mattress and if it didn't already feel small enough, once you got near the edge, it felt like you were going to fall off. It felt like this because the support of the springs didn't extend to the edges. My boyfriend didn't know much about memory foam technology, but once he lay on one, we decided there was no other way to go. It then became a matter of looking for the best value.
As a furniture design major in college, a fellow student and friend of mine was building a platform bed and purchased a much more expensive memory foam mattress. In fact, it was over 5 times the price of the one we purchased from bedinabox. Although his was made of a denser, thicker material, I still feel ours gave us the support we unknowingly needed. Since then, that same friend, who is now in the remodelling business, has purchased 2 mattresses from bedinabox.
Now, after a career change, I am a nurse who works night shifts, so it is so important for me to have the right conditions for sleeping during the day. For me that includes minimum amount of light and sound and a bed that I don't have to toss and turn on in order to get comfortable. I've also noticed that I tend to sleep in the same position for longer periods now than I ever had in the past with regular innerspring mattresses.
The price was right on the PacBed Original for my boyfriend and I. So was the shipping and delivery speed. To our delight, It arrived several days ahead of schedule. The only thing we were nervous about was whether it would meet our expectations of comfort and firmness. I'm pleased to say that although the mattress isn't as firm as expected, we are still satisfied with the product and it is as comfortable as we expected to be, and for a fraction of the cost. My only complaint is that it does take more than one person to move the queen size mattress. In my opinion, that's a small price to pay for such a great product.
