Classic Brands Gramercy Cool Gel Memory Foam and Innerspring Hybrid 14-Inch Euro Pillow Top Mattress, Mattress in a Box, Queen

It has only been about two weeks since we received this mattress, but we have found the previous excellent reviews to be accurate. I bought this mattress for my young adult daughter. She likes a soft mattress and has found this to be very comfortable. It feels firm with the coil underpinning, but sleeps soft. I have not slept on it, but the foam layer actually does feel cool to the touch. I plan to check this out myself one night to see if it actually does sleep cool, but my daughter is very cold natured so I wasn't really worried about this for her. The covering is very high quality and after removing mattresses without carry straps, I really appreciated them in getting the bed situated on the frame. It also arrived about a week earlier than Classic Brands indicated it would.I'm not sure if Classic Brands is packaging this differently than when the early reviewers received theirs, but we were really disappointed that we didn't get any of the excitement mentioned by previous reviews. The box was slightly damaged, but the inner plastic coverings were in perfect condition. It came with two layers of regular plastic covering and an inner, thick plastic that compressed the mattress. The shipping company would have to really abuse this box when shipping to get the compressed mattress dirty, in my opinion. We situated the mattress roll on the bed and then carefully removed the first two layers. That left us with the inner plastic that slowly unrolled until we had the compressed mattress flat on the frame. After cutting the thick inner plastic, the mattress slowly inflated. We were all standing around waiting for it to explode open, but all it did was slowly inflate. We were quite disappointed! Given how it was packaged, the only way I could see for any explosive openings would be if you quickly cut through ALL the layers at one time.The mattress was almost completely expanded within a few hours and by the end of 48 hours, it was completely reformed. I measured the height and it was a true 12 inches. If you measured right at the very edge where the seam is, it was slightly less, but if measured a little away from where the edge pulled the topper together, it was the full size advertised. There was a little smell that you often get outgassing from new textiles, but the smell was pretty much gone after a couple of days. I do agree that the purchaser should plan on the mattress needing two or three days before sleeping on it.If I had been willing to shop at several different locations, I might have been able to find a good mattress at a slightly cheaper price, but the ease of having this delivered to the door in a "small" roll was rather nice. Given the look and feel of this mattress, I have high hopes that it will last for a good number of years. We'll see.

My wife and I bought this bed in 2019. We’ve had it for 5+ years now. I am absolutely amazed that such a perfect bed can be so inexpensive. I would take this bed 10/10 times over a plush luxury bed. It’s the perfect firmness, I’ve never once woke up with aches or pains, which would happen with my luxury bed that I had before. It’s still soft and has great support. We bought this bed when we were in residency when we needed something quick and cheap for one year. We loved it so much we shipped it home in our POD. I’m 6 foot 240 lbs and the bed has zero sagging or cratering. Can’t recommend this one enough

I have been sleeping on this mattress since September and I have been extremely happy with it. I actually very rarely leave reviews for products but I had a difficult time finding a good mattress that fit my very limited budget when I decided to purchase this one and wanted to chime in on the good reviews for this product!This mattress arrived quickly and was well packaged. I purchased it specifically for a move and it took up very little space in my Uhaul. I opened it first thing when I got to my new house as it said it needed time to fully inflate but it popped right up out of the package almost immediately and slept great that night (only about 6 or 7 hours from the time I opened it.) The mattress was in great condition with no shipping damage, the covering and seams are all well made and high quality. Several reviews for some of these box mattresses mentioned that the outer walls felt flimsy-- but this mattress looks and feels structurally like the quality you would expect from a traditional mattress store (even better quality than some of the lower-end models of name brand products, in my opinion after shopping many of them before I went with this.) There was no chemical or packaging odors (also something else some reviews for boxed mattresses mentioned that I am very sensitive to and was worried about.) It sleeps very firm- which I like and was specifically looking for- but does not feel hard. I am often a side sleeper which sometimes doesn't work out well with firm mattresses and I have never experienced pain from side sleeping with this mattress.What prompted me to write this review was taking my mattress cover off this morning for a wash and noticing how this mattress still looks brand new (pictures are from today)! My last new mattress purchase was a baseline model of a Serta pillow top and within about three months I started to get VERY noticeable indentations in it, which they told me made it ineligible for any warranty returns. After 6 months there are no indentations in this mattress, the cover is in perfect shape, and it continues to be extremely comfortable. I have been very pleased with this product-- far beyond my expectations-- and am blown away by how great it has been for the price point. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a firm, good quality mattress on a budget!
