My wife and I were in the market for a new mattress. Our last one was only five years old and very uncomfortable. We paid a lot of money for it expecting it to last, it didn't.
I had the pleasure of spening a night at the Cincinnatti Hilton. All of the beds in this hotel have foma mattresses. It was an excellent night's sleep. I decided that we needed to buy a foam mattress.
I did some pricing and research in the internet. It seemed that the price of a new queen sized foam mattresses was out of our budget. On a whim, I clicked on an ad for the bed-in-a-box website. I carefully read their wesbite. The material was the same as much more expensive brands, the prcie was excellent, there was free shipping, and a money back guarantee. I decided I had nothing to lose and sent for one.
There was a very quick turn around. Three days later, two immense packages were in my drive way. One was the mattress and one was the box frame (foma mattresses do not need box springs). It took two of us to carry them inside. Afther that it was a very easy set up.
The mattress is shipped airtight. It is really neat to open the package and see the mattreess poof up as the air in the room infiltrates it and casues it to rise like bread dough. I am not very good at delayed satisfaction, so I decided to test the mattress immediately, before it was all set up. It was excellent. The foam cradled my body and gave excellent support!
I assembled the box frame, which seemed a bit on the flimsy side. It is topped with a large peice of cardbaord as opposed to wood. Nevertheless, after it is all assembled properly, it definitely does its job. There have been no complaints in the six months or so since purchase. The frame does its job.
The mattress itself has been pure pleasure. My wife and I look forward to going to sleep. We wake up without any pain, cramps, or stiffness. There have been times when a pillow has slipped away from me in the middle of the night, yet the mattress itself provides enough support for my neck so that I do not wake up with a pinched nerve.
If you need to, you can get up in the middle of the night without disturbing your partner, the foam is that responsive. I will never go back to another spring mattress. I am convinced that foam mattresses are the way to go. Try out bedinabox.com, you have nothing to lose, and you will gain a restful night's sleep.
