Good mattress, but built in topper foam is low quality
By Adultman on Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018
Update after 2 years: This mattress is still a great value, but I learned some things after owning it for awhile. The first few months I slept wonderfully on it, and then my back pain came back. Thinking that the foam topper had lost some support, I tried several different mattress pads with varying levels of success. Finally, after sleeping better in a lot of other spots on vacation (firm beds, couches, even a camping pad), I realized that the foam in this mattress just be hurting more than it's helping. Yesterday I tore out the stitching and pulled the foam topper. It's really pretty cheap stuff except for a thin latex pad underneath. The foam doesn't even seem like memory foam - it's what you'd find in a cheap couch cushion. It's very light (I could toss the whole queen size pad no problem), which tells me that it's very low density and wasn't ever providing much support. After tearing that out and just sleeping on the springs with the padded top, I feel better. The pocketed coils still seem good. The big lesson here is you get what you pay for - with a bargain like this the manufacturer cheaped out on something. If you're a bargain hunter, figure out what that thing is and replace it with quality. Original review: I've been aching (literally) over what mattress to get for months. I originally tried a fancy brand name bed in a box (Brooklyn Bedding Signature) which I found too firm. I then tried a latex topped spring mattress from a local discount store. That was also a mistake - too soft. I was waking up with horrible lower back pain each morning because my hips would sink in too much in that soft mattress. For context, I'm a 28 year old 6' 165lb male. I've found it's very important to keep a reviewer's body size and shape in mind when mattress shipping - larger people tend to find beds firm where skinny people find them soft. This particular mattress hit me right in the Goldilocks zone. I sink in a little bit, but I can feel the support where I need it in my spine. I've had my best sleep this year on this mattress. There's also a decent amount of bounce from the springs which I like. The thing I didn't realize about this mattress is that it has a layer of memory foam under the latex. This actually makes it super comfortable because the foam contours to you ever so slightly without sleeping hot, and it instantly bounces back because of the latex. I've had this mattress for just a couple weeks; going to start testing it against another one from Amazon and will post results.

Very comfortable, but a bit on the soft side - not for me
By John Rowell on Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2021
I'm a 140 lb, 6 ft tall male. I thought this mattress would be perfect for me, and it feels very comfortable at first but I can't get through a full night without waking up to back pain. It's just too soft for me while sleeping on my side. Stomach sleeping is comfortable, but if you switch positions like I do then you might also find it to be a bit too soft and your back is going to get all bent. I'm still giving it 3 stars because it seems to be consistent with no sagging and is quite comfortable, so for some people it might be awesome, but not for me. Also when I tried to start a return, Amazon only offered me a partial refund, so I will be calling Amazon by phone to try to get a full refund - so just keep in mind that you might also encounter hassles if you end up needing to return this item. Edit: Downgraded to 1 star due to Linenspa's terrible customer service. I tried contacting Linenspa to arrange for a return since Amazon doesn't have a way to accept such items, and I explained the situation to them, but they said they don't deal with returns but to contact Amazon. I again explained why Amazon isn't in a position to help with this, but they refused to accept their obligation to take the product back. So I went back and contacted Amazon and was offered a courtesy refund - if it were not for Amazon's excellent service I'd be SOL. Not dealing with Linenspa ever again!
