Sweetnight Queen Mattress in a Box - 12"

When my wife and I got married, we needed to get a bigger mattress because we had both been sleeping on single mattresses before. I really wanted to find one that was fairly soft. That’s kind of a tall order since most mattresses seem to make a selling point out of being extra firm. I was also intrigued by the possibility of buying online and not having to get scammed at a big mattress store. Finally, I read that many mattresses can have a fiberglass lining hidden behind a zipper that you’re actually never supposed to unzip. But if you do unzip it, it can spread glass fibers all over, making people itch and potentially damaging eyes, lungs, and other sensitive areas. So I definitely wanted to avoid that.Here’s where Sweetnight comes in. After doing a lot of research, I finally came across a mattress that is reasonably priced, advertises softness instead of firmness, doesn’t have a fiberglass lining (or a zipper, either), and had good reviews. I decided to pull the trigger. It arrived promptly. The box was a bit torn, and it was noticeably heavy, but the mattress inside was undamaged, and I was able to get it in position without too much trouble. We gave it the recommended three days to fully expand before sleeping on it, but when we did the experience was heavenly. It is wonderfully soft, but still supportive (I am not a small person so support is important). There was some morning stiffness as our bodies adjusted to the new mattress (which is why mattress companies usually offer such long trial periods), but after that it has been nothing but great. Another thing worth mentioning is that it has the perfect amount of edge support.It has been over 2 years since then. I intentionally waited to write my review because the most helpful reviews are always the ones written with lots of experience. The mattress is just as comfortable as it was at first. I turn it every six months or so, and there has been no noticeable indenting, sinking, or degrading. I can’t recommend this mattress highly enough. If your experience is anything like mine, you will become a lifelong customer.
