In fact, you should never use a box-spring base with a memory foam mattress, as it will not provide enough support...eventually your memory foam mattress will be lower in the center than at the edges. You should use either a foundation made for memory foam mattresses (basically just a hard, hollow box) or use the mattress on a platform bed. In cases where memory foam mattress owners end up dissatisfied, a lot of the time it's because they put the mattress on top of their old box-springs. If you read a review where they say something like "we both wake up in the middle of the mattress," that's almost always the cause.

If you must use a box-spring with your current bed, you should put a 3/4" sheet of OSB or plywood between the box-spring and the memory foam mattress. The wood sheet will eliminate the sagging problem.

I put my Woot foam Queen mattress on top of my old mattress/box spring 3 years ago and have not detected sagging.

Hey there. Apologies for not reading everything above me as I have limited time, I didn't mean to steal any thunder if I did in-fact do that.

Convection-cooled says a lot. You'd be in the same boat as your foam mattress topper there. Oddly enough, I find that different styles of sheets react differently with heat issues on a foam mattress. 100% cotton sheets tend to retain more heat, and get a nod from the wife and I for winter months. A cotton-polyester blend cover our mattress in the more temperate months and seem to shed heat more readily. For summer months (I have to check when I go home) I believe are some sort of 3-blend sheets. They do a really great job of keeping a fat guy from sweating.

Despite warnings from previous buyers, I decided to gamble with this one last time. Seemed great at the beginning, but after a while it literally ended up with a permanent sag and we found ourselves purchasing a new mattress less than six months in.

We later discovered through research and conversations with mattress reps that memory foam is prone to degrade when vacuum packed for extended periods of time (Imagine having a mattress shrink-wrapped for years in a warehouse somewhere---do you seriously expect it to just "come back to life" and last forever when re-exposed to air? Probably not. Even shrink-wrapped food has a shelf life).

I have three Woot foam mattresses purchased at different times. Each time they said to open it the day you get it or it may suffer from incomplete expansion. . That means they must compress them just before shipping. No manufacturer keeps a warehouse full of these things. They would go broke storing them.
They aren't vacuum packed. They are just squeezed, rolled, and wrapped.

Does anyone know how these compare to the memory foam mattresses at Bed in a Box? http://www.bedinabox.com

I've been considering their mattresses for a little while, and they're significantly more expensive than this, but really upsell certain aspects of their quality, e.g. - http://www.bedinabox.com/memory-foam-mattress-pacbed-original.html

Does anyone know the density of this foam mattress?

Resistant to dust mite. What about bedbugs? Just asking

lwang wrote:does this work on platform beds that has wooden slats as foundations? I have ones with curved springy slats that are farther apart then the usual Ikea ones. Not sure if the foam will sink in between them.

Regarding box springs or slat type foundations - these memory foam beds require a FLAT foundation. They need a full flat surface for support.
Get a big flat plank of thick plywood to serve as foundation if your bed doesn't provide a solid flat surface for it.

We purchased a "no name" queen memory foam mattress from amazon about 18 months ago (LOVE IT!) it's the most comfortable bed in the house. (it's in a guest room, and everyone loves it)

It's supportive, very firm yet comfy, we always have a fan on in the bedroom, so the heat buildup thing has not been an issue with us.

There is some smell when you unroll it- just keep a window open for about a week and it will dissipate. Be sure to unroll it RIGHT where you want it. These suckers are too heavy to be moving around.

The price is great. I want another one for the master bedroom!

Didn't you know? It's international mattress day!

Does anyone know whether this will work with an electric bed? My bed raises the head at the head and foot so I can sit up while watching TV or reading a book.

DANGER DANGER WARNING WARNING RUN WILL ROBINSON RUN

The memory foam deal was been the worst screwage I've ever gotten on WOOT/Intenret purchases.

Mine stunk to high heaven and never expanded to the stated dimensions.

Woot dumped me on the manufacturer.
The manufacturer refused to do anything.

Okay, here is a new one for the board. Moderators: I have back problems and go to a chiropractor regularly. In the state of Texas, a prescription from a licensed professional allows me to purchase a mattress with no sales tax. Is there a way to apply that to this sale? Thanks

Last time this came around on Woot, I picked one up. The fact that it came rolled up and compressed was the only way I could get a full-sized bed up the stairs to my bedroom. I opened it up, let it air out in the room across the hall for three nights, and then slept on it the fourth night. I've never had a problem with any plastic smell, except when I first opened my package. The bed is very comfortable and I no longer wake up feeling sore like I did on my last bed, which had a spring mattress. The only gripe I have is in the summer; it gets pretty warm in bed due to the way the foam hugs me. But I like hugs, so I guess I can't complain too much.

Yeah, only the best ever. He was able to hit some amazing, awesome angle. Jesus it was great.

However, I didn't buy THIS particular bed, I just bought a memory foam bed elsewhere, a 10''.

My only real issue is that it is a bit more "warm" than regular beds, however that could just as easily be my particular bed. Easily solved problem, I just sleep under a blanket or two instead of the comforter.

I've had my bed that came vacuum packed for well over a year now with no issues. It was probably the best investment of my life - I sleep so much better now.

terry oing wrote:Resistant to dust mite. What about bedbugs? Just asking

They can't live inside the memory foam/support foam, but you're not immune to bedbugs just because they can't get inside the core of the bed. They can still live in the floor cracks near the bed, under the fitted sheet, between the mattress and the support, between the bed and the wall, etc.

If you're concerned or have a small case of bedbugs, sprinkle some diatomaceous earth (the outdoor kind, NOT the pool chemical kind) around problem areas. Wear a mask so you don't breathe in the dust. It works wonders.

rocque wrote:Does anyone know how these ship? Is it like the bed in a box, or do you find the mattress on on your lawn (if you have one) and a family you do not know sleeping on it when you get home from work?

In a 4ftx1ft box that weighs around 80lbs, you unpack and let it breath itself into size.

Why no twin mattress? Woot almost never has twin sized mattresses. I hate that.

ThunderThighs wrote:Hmmmm, don't know if we can do that or not but I sent the question in to CS. You might send an email to service@woot.com as well.

Will do, thanks!

terry oing wrote:Resistant to dust mite. What about bedbugs? Just asking

No, wood is the biggest problem. Bed bugs don't really live in sheets and such. They prefer to bite and run off to warm seams and they love wood. Wood is typically where they nest. Wood and clutter too.

These days only consider a metal frame. Bed Begs can't really climb metal like other insects, cause they lack padding on their feet.

This type of mattress is better at resisting bed bugs. Add an ALL metal frame and slats and it's about as good as your gonna get. You could also choose to seal it up in a bed bug proof mattress case to be more sure.

Can somebody tell me if this requires a bedspring? I'm never had a foam mattress and this might be a dumb question.

Walmart has the 12" queen for 329.00...with the "heat dissipating technology...just sayin!

rocque wrote:Does anyone know how these ship? Is it like the bed in a box, or do you find the mattress on on your lawn (if you have one) and a family you do not know sleeping on it when you get home from work?

I orderd one online once and it came rolled up super tight and fit into a box. Was pretty slick way of shipping.

So, no one's answered the question about the amount of time it takes to receive after ordering. Anyone???

Have been enjoying the memory foam mattress I ordered from Woot! for about three years. Absolutely better for my back. As per instructions I did let it air out.

Came tightly rolled up in a relatively small box. As luck would have it I was going out of town, so spread it on top of my standard box springs and left a window ajar. Even my cat liked it.

My wife and I have been saying almost daily that we need a new mattress. Our backs are killing us.

If we buy this mattress and it's no good or we hate it what are we supposed to do?

I feel like locally any place gives us a chance to try/return it.

What return/guarantee do we get if any?

How does this compare to lets say a $700-$1000 bob o pedic bed?

What company makes the bed? Why does it now show the manufacturer?

I have been thinking about a new mattress. My current one is terribly old. I mean really old, probably older than half of you reading this. I saw a SULTAN FINNVIK memory foam IKEA that I have been thinking about. It's $349 and you buy it in a roll too. I might go back and try it out for a longer period of time. My main question is what do you do with your old mattress? I think it's too big for the garbage men to haul off. I have a reciprocating saw, I can cut it up into chunks and bag it. The FINNVIK has about 2.5 inches of memory foam on top of some other kind of foam.

terry oing wrote:Resistant to dust mite. What about bedbugs? Just asking

Dust mites are more important, since they're something hard to fix. Most bedding ends up being 1/10th dust mites by the time you throw it out, by weight. That's a lot of dead dust mites.


For bedbugs, look up diatomaceous earth. Get the food grade kind to use inside, and put at the corner of the walls around the room, and under the bed, on the frame, etc. Anywhere you think the bugs might hide.

DE is basically microscopic pieces of broken glass, and nicks the insects, so they can't retain water and die. You don't want to breathe it in, or pets, but use it correctly and you can kill insects cleanly without much hazard.

Look up DE, there's a lot of info on the net. Used often for gardening, but it can be used in many other ways..

Standard shipping is the only option. I Wooted Aug 7th and it is being shipped today. So it probably won't arrive in time before you move.

Go to WOOT DEALS. They have a twin for $179.

If so, it looks like the price over there might be a better deal, if you don't want the bonus pillows.


[Mod (TT): I had to go all the way through the purchase process but shipping was $26.73 to me for the full-size mattress.]

I like how it cost less on the target website then it does on woot.

If you're going to use diatomaceous earth indoors, particularly if you have pets, get food-grade DE. Also, DE alone is unlikely to succeed in eliminating a bedbug infestation (even a small one), unless you basically blanket your environment in the stuff. It can work, but it's definitely not as simple as just sprinkling it here and there, unfortunately.
