King size or GTFO!   :blank:

This is inarguable. Never settle for anything but a king, mattress-wise. The more room the better.

I've been looking for a new mattress. I don't like the foam mattresses. They feel funny.

very happy with our Serta iComfort.      Tempurpedic made me too hot.  The iComfort has a different foam on top that helps.

Whatever you do, make sure you don't buy your mattress from those squawks that own Mattress Hub.

bonus: I met bonus spends on 4 different cards. :dance:

Give a detailed report.
delivered this morning.  the "off gassing" or smell isn't nearly as bad as some dumbasses make it out to be in reviews.  it's slightly stronger than most other new mattresses, but not by much.  obviously more firm than the one in the store, but that's to be expected. 

I waited way too long to upgrade mattresses and my old one was starting to take a toll on my body, so I'll probably go to bed at like 7:00 tonight.  I'll try and remember to update tomorrow.

Our guy told us to walk on it to break it in for a while before using it.  We let the kids get on it and go nuts for like an hour. 

Love that bed.

Fing love it.  Costs like four grand, though.

first night was good.  it's going to take some getting used to.  my body felt significantly better when I woke up this morning.  I did wake up a few times in the middle of the night, but i think that was probably because it's such a different feel than a "traditional" mattress. it's also probably going to take a few weeks to really break it in.  I'll try to update in a few weeks.

update: keep waking up sweating on the side that I'm laying on and cold on the other side because I've just got a sheet on. :frown: I've always slept really hot and this just makes it so much worse.  think I'm gonna take it back and try the serta icomfort wellbeing.  apparently the gel is supposed to help, but the guy at the store said that "tests" showed that the new tempurpedic hd foam in the cloud luxe is cooler than gel. guess I'll find out.  I really hope I can find a cooler memory foam because I love it other than the whole waking up cold/sweating part.

Gross.  Maybe you should keep the mattress and go to a doctor.

I'm a warm sleeper, and the iComfort has been fine.    We have the Revolution or something...

I am a warm sleeper too and was super worried about this when I bought my tempur.   One tip, if you like the bed but get too hot, try sleeping in a tshirt or tanktop or something.   When I do, it is perfect. When I don't, outside of winter, I get a little hot.

Why would putting on a T-shirt or tank top help me stay cool?

you can return a sweated up mattress?  what do they do with it?
