Swiss Ortho SleepBamboo 12" Inch Certified Independently & Individually Wrapped Pocketed Encased Coil Pocket Spring Contour Mattress - Queen, Plush

My bedroom’s ordinary size & my old mattress is still on the floor beside my bed, so I’m not sure how well these pictures show. But a few things to say. I received this at 12:15-ish in the afternoon, this afternoon of writing. It’s now nearing 3pm by a few minutes. A close friend of mine, set it up alone in about an hour, having to rest for long minutes at a time in between. I think the worst part is that it’s a hugely heavy mattress. It sure is. Unmovable for anyone or ordinary or weak strength alone.It simply unraveled out of the over-outer plastic covering and then we cut off the inner layer plastic, all while it was on the steel platform bed. It began expanding as soon as it was out of the first outer plastic so we had to get it out immediately of the second binding to finish expanding.This full expansion was taken at just 1 hour & 20 minutes about but it basically had nearly full expansion after 3 minutes. Amazing! In an hour & 20 minutes though — I bought a 12” very firm queen — it got a lot tougher in quality of fullness over the top. It is presently growing just over 10” now. I have to double check though, I might have actually only bought the 10”. I’m not sure right now. It doesn’t matter, it seems a fine height to me.The instructions say to leave it alone for 48 hours. I might leave it alone longer. I’m looking forward to trying it during the coming week. It’s a Friday afternoon now.As for odor, I’ve finally had a chance to understand what possibly the awful stories are about in part. There are two medium sized desiccate packets born into the inner locked compression plastic binding the mattresses from unlocking. I had no odor throughout the unpacking, until we unlocked the final plastic and found the two desiccate packets. Then there was some typical odor like that — a chemical picking up the odors if whatever it’s wrapped in. My friend doing the work didn’t smell anything. I sprayed Febreze over it & it also made the Febreze smell like the desiccate, so that’s definitely part of what’s at work with all these odors. It’s a shame, because different mattresses are made with different cloth closing materials & desiccate will give any clothe a chemical odor.But it’s nothing really that needs to be noted except that I wanted to comment on what I’d learned. Right now, the light, lingering faintness of it isn’t going to last past my Febreze spray from an hour ago. Right at this moment anyone walking into my apartment would probably only notice Febreze.So I hope to update this next week after I’ve slept on it, to find how it’s comfort is — should turn out be an excellent firm it seems; very hard to find type besides. And also to relate what size I bought & how large it expanded after so many days of waiting.A year and a half later…. The mattress has been excellently firm over the past time and never really caved anywhere significantly. It’s still firm and very comfortable. This is with regular night to night use in that time. About now only I’m starting to notice that where I sit sometimes propped up with my electronic device working, it’s taking shape of a smaller less firm indent. Only slightly.

Still holding up strong

We have a California King! Very firm and it’s been 2 years and like new! First thing I noticed is how firm it was. I think I wanted it a bit softer like a hotel mattress, but overall it’s great! Get a good protective cover that’s easy to remove. We have a deep one like a fitted sheet so can easily remove to wash, but spills have gone through to mattress unfortunately. This mattress requires a deep fitted sheet to cover it in full. The regular ones slip off, so get one that has good elastic and goes to under the mattress. I think it’s a bit too firm, but that’s fine since I have back issues and need support. I maybe would’ve like it to be a bit softer, but the firmness has held up and held its shape well. Love that it isn’t hybrid and has no annoying springs! Love this mattress! Great buy, thick, high and great support!

I was preparing for major knee surgery and decided it was time to ditch the 20 plus year old one on my bed. Both myself and my husband have chronic pain from his broken neck and back to my knees and hips and both of us suffer shoulder pain. My surgery was a month away so I figured I had plant of time to compare. Every local (including surrounding area up to 100 miles from home) furniture or mattress retailer was the same. The cheapest full size was between $700 to $1100, did not include box spring, delivery, or set up and haul away the old. We also found that every single dealership was "out of stock" of that mattress but conveniently had they higher price models available. That's when I turned to Amazon. I researched models several times over the week. My husband and I agreed on one thing and that was we did not want a vacuum packed rolled up bed. The first three I attempted to buy had delivery dates over a month or more away. That's when I saw this mattress. I read every review and it was highly rated. I was confused because not only was it much lower in price, but it had a much shorter delivery time. Knowing it was to be delivered in about a week I went ahead and ordered a box spring. Much to my surprise they were both delivered in 2 days. When I first saw the mattress I was very angry and wanted to send it back. Somehow I missed the part of item description that said it was a compressed mattress. My husband wanted to get a bed before my surgery so we decided to keep it. Boy was I glad we did! Once on the box spring it was easily unrolled and even started forming its shape before fully open. Within an hour the mattress was fully expanded. It is actually a little bigger than our old full size and reached the full 11 inch high as described. This mattress has changed our quality of sleep by a factor of ten. It's firm supporting and so comfortable that there is no more tossing and turning. I would recommend this mattress to everyone. I'm so glad I didn't see it was a compressed mattress. Best sleep ever!

This mattress does not sleep hot; I wouldn't say that it is actively cooling (but so far I have yet to find an actual mattress or pillow that is, although I do have a water mat that is), but it doesn't retain much heat at all, and sleeps so much cooler than any of my memory foam mattresses. I purchased it hoping that the inner springs would allow for a cooler sleep, and I'm very pleased with the lack of heat retention; I've had this mattress 5 days, and I haven't once woken up needing to move to a different spot from the heat, which I was doing many times every night with memory foam mattresses, if I didn't have my cooling water mat on top. I haven't yet needed the mat on this, as the warmth it retains is pretty minimal and non-invasive. I would consider this medium firm at most, but it's pretty supportive and comfortable, and I don't wake up sore in my knees or back. The edges aren't super solid but, unlike other reviewers, I don't have a problem sitting on the edge.
