Signature Design by AshleyKing Size Chime 12 Inch Medium Firm Memory Foam Mattress with Green Tea & Charcoal Gel for Pressure Relief

Right out of the box, I was impressed. It expanded fast, had barely any smell, and the cover felt super soft and well-made. Below are my thoughts broken down. I am very picky with my sleep, so if you are too, enjoy!• Firmness: Just right! firm enough to support, but soft enough to feel cozy.• Cooling: I’m usually a hot sleeper, but this stayed cool all night.• Motion: Barely felt my partner move at all. Big win.Great for back or side sleepers who want support without feeling like they’re sinking. I’m a side sleeper, my wife is a back sleeper. We both love it.I’ve had a nectar and Caspar in the past, both are 4x the price and not as good. The value here is insane!Edge support isn’t amazing but that is pretty standard with any memory foam mattress.Final Thoughts:Super comfy, cool, and affordable. I’d absolutely buy it again.

I found this mattress to be the perfect stiffness and comfort. Some might find it to be too hard or stiff, those who want a softer mattress need to know this might not be your best choice. Those of us who want a firm mattress would love this product.It is very firm yet very comfortable. I read reviews here on Amazon before I bought it. Because some reviewers wrote about it being too hard... I figured that this would be just what I wanted. A firm mattress is actually better for your posture, your bones, your muscles and the quality of your sleep--in general. However, we all have our likes and dislikes.This is also an extremely wise purchase due to the price. You receive an amazing value from this product. This mattress is a high quality product right out of the box. One can tell that it is made well. As far as its ability to last year after year, only time will tell since it is a relatively new product and a new design. I happen to be less than 140lbs so I won't have to worry so much about creating a permanent dent in this mattress before I get a good life out of it.I have owned one other Ashley mattress that I paid twice as much for. This other mattress lasted over 6 years before I gave it to charity. There were no signs of permanent wear on my previous Ashley mattress and it was not as firm nor did it appear to be of such high quality. This new mattress of mine should be able to last me at least 10 plus years or more. I am very satisfied that my purchase was a steal, price-wise and that I have a high quality mattress.I did not experience any overwhelming odor after I opened it. In fact, the odor was very faint as I had to put my nose practically on the mattress in order to smell anything. The instructions that come with it are clear and easy to perform and keep you from damaging your mattress when you open it from its packaging.My mattress opened up fully only a few hours after I opened and laid it on my bed frame. I sleep great on it and find it to be superbly comfortable.

Edit: It's been 4 years and we still LOVE these mattresses! Also had a friend stay over, go home and buy the same mattress for their house!*All attached photos were taken within 4 hours of unpacking*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.
