Default Looking for foam mattress reviews

We are interested in purchasing a foam mattress like those from Tuft and Needle (delivered to your door in a box, free 100-day trial, etc.). Has anyone tried them? Please share your review. Many thanks!

My son and his wife have one and love it. It think it has purple in the name. I layed down on it but didn't care for it. It was like laying on a thick memory foam topper for your bed.

I just received the latest Consumer Reports magazine and it reviews quite a few mattresses and some of them are the kind you mentioned. You could probably find the mag. at your local library. I don't remember what it said about them, because I don't need a new mattress. But, the article and recommendations were interesting.

My son bought the "Cocoon" by Sealy and loves it. Same deal; delivered to the door, 100 day free trial. No regrets :-)

I bought a Temperpedic eleven years ago with a twenty year warranty. I still love it. I bought the highest density, and I have severe arthritis. Best thing I have ever done for me. Go for it.

They are wonderful!! I sleep on a very hard mattress with a 3" dense memory foam topper, and it is heavenly. I don't think it would work as well on a soft bed. My daugher has the full foam mattresses on every bed in her house-- ordered them through the mail-- and they are so great to sleep on! I don't know what company she ordered from but I think they are all about the same... made from the same material.

Yesterday we had delivered a Zinus memory foam mattress. In a box. Son had one in condo and we slept on it 9 nights so it was a good test. They had one for their bed too and when they got home ordered one to replace their spendy sleep number bed at their house. We had free delivery through amazon.

I got one and don't like it but I think it would be better on a solid foundation like maybe just plywood instead of on the old box springs. My hips ache everynight and I find it hard to change position.

We looked at mattresses and bought 3.... all of which ended up being donated and finally after a lot of research and more money spent then I wanted to spend we bought a Nectar. It was rated #2 in all the research I did. I think the Casper was number one at more than twice the money. I don't know what size you are looking for but we bought 2 singles from Nectar and a frame from Amazon to make it a King size and absolutely LOVE it. Here is the website for the mattress https://www.nectarsleep.com/mattress and here is the frame we bought... Zinus 9 Inch High Profile Smart Box Spring / Mattress Foundation / Strong Steel structure / Easy assembly required, King . It is very nice because if one of us gets up in the middle of the night we don't disturb the other one. Just my opinion and hope this helps you.
