We had been looking for a new bed for months. I, like many here, didn't want to pull the trigger on a mattress until I reviewed as many as possible. I read reviews and watched YouTube videos on Purple, Ghost, Lucid, Nectar, Tuft & Needle etc. My brain was hurting and my eyes were burning. I came across Chime and everything seemed good and the price is fantastic compared to the others.
Day of delivery: I woke up as I always did with my old matress, hurting! Headache, eye, neck, back and leg pain. This has been a morning ritual for over a year. The UPS man knocked on my door and asked me to help him with the package. I said, of course bud. As we walked to his truck he says," I think it's a bed!?" I said," yes sir. Bed in a box the way of the future." He laughed. So the bed is slightly heavy and I'd recommend two players for this adventure.
Unboxing: Its unboxes like any of the others. Carefully cut plastic and unroll bed. Then cut second set if plastic and watch the magic that is a 1" bed grow into a 12" mattress. Remember those grow a dinosaur by adding water pills as a kid? It's kinda like that without adding water.
Firmness: I realize A LOT of people complain about how firm it is. Evidently I must have been sleeping on a broken hardwood floor for a mattress because this new mattress is amazing! I laid down on it after setting it up and didn't get up for two hours. I don't find it very firm at all. I'm 6'5" and 274lbs. So maybe that plays into it. This bed beyond comfortable.
Overall: This was an excellent purchase for us. After our first night of sleep I woke up and didn't hurt. No joke. I'm sore but no actual pain like I've been used to for over a year. Its very well priced and showed up days early. How it will hold up over time is unknown but the now is amazing.

Only time will tell how this mattress holds up but I am very pleased thus far. I bought two 12" full size for my kids (this listing) and a king size 12" Elite for myself & spouse (separate listing) all on a Cyber Monday sale. These are our first memory foam mattresses and I completed an exhaustive amount of research for the better part of a year before settling on these.
Upon delivery, these were well packaged. The mattresses each came in a clear bag which was shrinkwrapped around them. They were then rolled and covered in a durable milky-colored plastic and finally boxed in a clearly marked manufacturer's box.
We brought the kid's beds in to sit at room temp for a day before unpacking. Each came with clear (albeit unneccessary) instructuons on how to set up. I would highly reccommend if you bought the bed in winter to let it get to room temp before unpacking. It speeds up the recovery proccess tremendously. The kid's beds were up in a matter of minutes with the corners lagging slightly. Ours, which sat in my car in the cold a few days, took longer. Regardless, none of the three took the full 48 hours which is referenced in the packaging.
I read a lot about foam beds having an odor. I did not experience an odor with any of these in the slightest, even when first opening.
You will want deep pocket sheets/pads/protectors. We have a variety of linens and regular sheets just do not cut it with these. Ashley did not cut any corners on standard bed size measurements and all of these fully fit the frame they are on, one is actually slightly too big. That coupled with the height, you need deep pocket sheets.
The beds offer pressure relief but don't suck you in. I like a firm bed and I would classify these as firm. It's my hope that a firmer bed will last longer. The beds do respond to more weight/pressure but certainly aren't pillowy soft. I felt like I was able to change posotions easily. A parter's weight/movements can still be felt but not to the extent of an interspring. Choice of foundation will probably impact this as well.
These do not sleep too hot for us. However, being children's beds, they are not loaded down with heavy blankets and comforters so I can't speak to how they might retain heat if that was the case.
As I said, time will be the biggest test. Our previous $1,200 mattress lasted less than 4 years. Hell, for $150/bed this was worth the gamble. Comparatively, these only have to last 6 months to be equivalent in price longevity.
TL/DR....Reasons for buying: Price, brand/company I have heard of, all foam construction with thick dense base.
Seriously I have nothing bad to say about this bed. Arrived earlier than expected, easy to set up, expanded right away and it feels amazing! Slept so comfortable! If you’re considering this bed... just do it! You will not regret it!!!
This is the hardest mattress I’ve ever been on! Looks amazing. Quality is good. If you want your mattress to conform to your body then it’s not for you! I am 5’4, 140 lbs and the mattres doesn’t give at all! So disappointed.
First of all I am not paid to make do this review. I bought this mattress after I read the reviews and I must say this mattress is very firm. I had to my a pillow top mattress pad just to soften this mattress a little. I am a side sleeper and this was hard for me to get comfortable.
Okay so this is the best bed I have ever slept on. Slightly firm but I like that. My wife and I are separated nearly 100 lbs and there is no dip on the other side. It holds your position quite nicely!
This bed is SUPER COOL when sleeping. Not hot at all. I had a Queen Lucid cooling gel memory foam mattress I bought 2 years ago. It ran HOT and was horrible quality. This mattress is great quality and inflated fully within 30 minutes. It moved around tight corners nicely also.
Highly recommend 5 stars!!
I LOVE this bed, I am a big guy 6'3 300lbs and I fit comfortable on it and it forms to body. I haven't been able to sleep well, and with this bed I feel like I'm sleeping on a cloud. Highly recommend this bed and I will most likely buy another one for my daughter.
I bought this bed after moving to a new place, before receiving this mattress I was sleeping on the floor so any bed would be a step up. I prefer something mildly firm since those ultra plush mattresses leave my body feeling sore. Many of the reviews on here say that the bed is firm but I really underestimated exactly how firm it would be. At first I was a bit disappointed with how solid it seemed but I can honestly say that I've slept so incredibly well the last couple of nights, better than I have in a while. So with that I'd say if you like those really soft plushy mattresses that your body sinks into, this isn't it. BUT if you prefer a firm mattress and something with great support I say go for it!
Surprisingly firm mattress and although that was what I wanted an extra foam topper made it more comfortable for me with my chronic pain. From fibromyalgia and Endometriosis/pelvic pain
The mattress was good enough for the first 10 days and after that sinks in the middle and loses its firmness.
It has been titled as a firm mattress but this is actually softer than medium firm.
I am not sure if I'm capable to return the mattress but I would do it for sure.
I have Zero complaints and only rave reviews. Buying a mattresses is harder than some might think. This is somewhere you're recommended to spend a third of your day... ( if we could be so lucky!) Fantastic buy! I am thrilled that it worked for me and I also bought a twin for my young son and he loves it....
I am now buying one for my elderly mother..
You can not go wrong with the price point either. Worth every penny.
And take it from me.. I am about to buy my third mattress...I've already highly recommended this product to friends and family! Worth taking the chance on.
We love this mattress! Spouse and I can't feel or hear each other move in this bed(and I'm a big guy at 6'5").
Got the mattress in the afternoon and it was "inflated" to a full 12" by the evening and slept in it the same night.
No complaints about the mattress but shipping was a pain through Purolator as they could not find the mattress for a couple weeks and finally Amazon sent a replacement mattress for us. But now that we have the bed set up we couldn't be happier with our purchase.
Bought the metal bed frame from here as well and very impressed with it as well. Very firm and makes no nois.
I bought this bed back in November, I am so glad that I did. If you love a firm bed this bed is for you! Amazing! I haven’t had a good night sleep in a long time, until this bed! So happy with this purchase. I will say again, it is a firm bed. You want to like a firm bed in order to love this bed.
It came to life in a day, no smell what so ever. Higher than advertised which was awesome!
Life changing bed!
