Well-designed and well-made product. I took a 10 minute rest on it and seems really comfortable...obviously the true test will come over the next few nights but seems good so far. The 2 pillows suck, but whatever, they were free.From opening the first box until the mattress was in place took about a total of 1.5hrs. Put it all together in the hallway of my condo complex, so don't mind the :nostyle: carpet and lights.Waiting for me at the front door.http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/offdee/Miscellaneous/Bed1.jpgTools- most of it all came in the box. Only thing extra you'll need is a scissors and drill.http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/offdee/Miscellaneous/Bed4.jpgMattress in a Bag.http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/offdee/Miscellaneous/Bed2.jpgFoundation process.http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/offdee/Miscellaneous/Bed3.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/offdee/Miscellaneous/Bed5.jpghttp://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/offdee/Miscellaneous/Bed6.jpgWhere all the magic happens.http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk161/offdee/Miscellaneous/Bed7.jpg

Ordered!Thanks!Yep, this is what you should get (mattress + foundation + 2 free pillows)http://www.bedinabox.com/product/5318.htmlRead over the testimonials...all kinds of people saying that has dramatically helped back pain (many who have had surgeries, medical issues, etc.)http://www.bedinabox.com/memory-foam-mattress-reviews.htmlI have a king now that I bought a little over 8 years ago. So I can order the mattress and foundation and be good to go or am I missing something? How are these things for people with bad backs?Not having it delivered for a bit longer -- until we close on our house, likely later this week.Update?A little over $1200 -- I also ordered the $125 bed frame since we'll need one.What was the final total?King Super Saver Special (PacBamboo Plus 13") OrderedHolding a couple weeks on delivery until we move.

Got my BIAB yesterday afternoon. When I first laid on it, I thought it was nice but was worried that it might be a bit lacking in support. That turned out not to be the case. Granted, it was only one night, but no matter what position I was in, it was comfortable. In my old bed, lying on my shoulder would make my arm go numb after a bit but there was no such issue with the BIAB. If I am as happy with this thing a month from now as I am after one night, it will be hands down the best bed I've ever had.

Can't wait to get mine.Sooooo what do I do with my old mattress and box spring? Will charities take it? Dump it on the side of the road on a moonless night?

You bed in a box guys are overpaying.
Amazon is trying to build the category and is actually selling my company's product at a loss.

Amazon 12" Memory Foam Mattress
Just comes with the mattress though. My wife and I just threw ours on our old boxspring and do not notice any lack of support. Binky bought one of our memory gel foam offerings at Costco upon my recommendation. Bink, are you happy with it?

Yeah, it's a good mattress. It will have a slight chemical odor that will go away after a night or two. I would just put the mattress on the boxspring, cut the bag open and it will expand like a balloon. Cool process. Just so you can see what kind of deal this is, here is the same mattress, on sale, at Kohl's. Amazon's price is awesome and is putting a big burden on my supply chain keeping this in stock.Wow, this looks great. Thanks for the

Go my BIB yesterday. My knee was already in bad shape and I'm pretty sure I completely roached it bringing the mattress upstairs by myself. Already called the surgeon.It's very comfortable and I'm happy so far. My only regret is that I bought the foundation. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten by with the box springs from my old bed or am I missing something here?ETAAlso, what's the deal with these pillows?

Slept on ours last night for the first time and my back didn't hurt in the morning. I pulled the mattress bag upstairs on my own and it wasn't to bad and not sure it would have been easier with the wife anyway. I didn't want anything to do with my old bed so am glad I got the new foundation, and it cost only a small amount more from just buying the mattress.Those pillows are the suck aren't they? I told them to not ship them with this mattress after seeing how horrible they were with my sons.Go my BIB yesterday.

According to the tracking info the total weight of my shipment was 199 pounds and the foundation didn't weigh much so I'm guessing somewhere around 180 pounds. I'm an idiot carrying that thing up the stairs by myself.

Thinking of going this route or BIB. What are the quality differences between the two? So far it looks like this one is 3" thicker and less money than the standard BIB.

I'm not sure of the competitor's quality, but Amazon has a pretty decent return policy for ours.

They sleep slightly warmer than your regular spring mattress, but nothing that's unbearable by any means.My biggest concern with getting a memory foam mattress was the "sleeping warm" issue, but got the PacBamboo version and although I can tell a little warmer than my spring mattress it's still fine.If you're really concerned, than spring a little extra for the "Silk Elegance" version. Customer rep I talked to said this is the coolest sleeping version they have.http://www.bedinabox.com/silk-elegance-memory-foam-mattress.htmlif you've got the scratch laying around this could solve both yours and your wife's temp. issues.http://www.bedinabox.com/product/6023.html

I agree with this. It is a bit warmer, but only slightly. It isn't nearly as bad as other foam mattresses seem to be.'offdee said:

Ok, I took the bait. It does look like a pretty good deal (the one I bought on Woot last month turned out to be a lemon). Anyway, it came the other day and inflated normally in no time at all. Seems comfy, though I haven't slept on it yet. I'm waiting on a bedskirt to get here this weekend, and I guess I need some new sheets too because mine probably won't fit a 12-inch mattress. That's okay though, I needed new sheets anyway. At any rate, thanks for the lead. I'm very optimistic about this.

Let us know, I am seriously thinking about getting this one, it's pretty dam cheap.
Me too.

I bought one of these and have been sleeping on it for a week. It's pretty great! I paid $390 and I saw a very similar one at Costco for $690.I feel it does sleep a tad bit warm but the wife disagrees. The heat is minimal though and doesn't take away from the comfort of the mattress. I had back pain with my previous mattress and that has disappeared. It does have a pretty bad chemical smell from the start but that fades.
The only thing I worry about is longevity. I had my old mattress for 10 years and I seriously doubt I will get that kind of life out of this. For the price, I guess that's not a big deal.

Good deal. I wish I got commissions- I just believe in our products.We do have rollers in the plants that simulate usage over a long period of time. They test pretty well. Costco will be having a $7 off in-store coupon for our memory foam cluster twin pack pillows coming up shortly so if you want a good set of pillows, there ya go.

Putting the stupid boxspring together was a PIA, and I'm sure I screwed it up, but it seems sturdy enough. Been sleeping on this for about a week so far and love it. Very comfortable. I can sleep in all different positions and it conforms great for all. Big fan. Good thousand dollars spent.

Jeebus, GB. If you can't put this together without much problem, your new house is going to cost you multi-millions in upkeep.

Sorry - I haven't been on here much lately and just now saw this. We love this mattress. Been on it over a month now and never slept better. Waiting on summer and see if it sleeps a little warm. Right now all is good on that front.

I seriously made a quick decision on this BIB because the $1099.00 was going up 20% according to their website. Hhmmm.............:thinking:adrenaline

Glad you like it Bink. I put my poor reputation on the line! I have the same one and I don't notice it's any warmer than an inner spring. And my back pain went away, I don't create a tidal wave for my wife getting up out of bed, and I am sleeping through the night more often than I ever had.I wouldn't be surprised Bob if the prices did go up. We're getting crushed with the astronomical price of cotton, chemicals, and oil right now and the industry has no choice but to pass the increases on.This makes me $537.64 angry.

On their website it said price to increase 20% after 4/30/11, which is the day I placed the order on. I checked back a couple of weeks later out of curiosity and it said some like "we're holding off on the 20% price increase until 5/7/11". ETA
NOW it is going to increase June 1.

Considering my last mattress(15 years old) was roughly $2500, I'm will to take a chance for $561

I apologize for any confusion. We have been raising our prices every month for over a year now, and will raise them again this coming month. We try to keep our prices as low as possible without cutting corners. Unfortunately, prices are constantly increasing from our suppliers and it makes it difficult to be competitive and gauge what our costs are going to be month to month. We actually lose money on some models at the moment. Our price increase notice is not intended to mislead anyone.As for the Sleep Innovations mattress, they also sell those at Sam's Club at a lower price than they do on Amazon, I believe. However, it is not the same quality as ours. We have one of them in our R&D room here and the comfort level of that mattress is nowhere close to ours. Also, the cover on that mattress sounds like a diaper when you press your hand into it, and it smelled terrible when it was opened. This is lackluster design.We have put a lot of research (which is expensive) into our product, including durability tests, pressure mapping (it did better than Tempur-Pedic), toxicity (our mattresses are certified non-toxic), and we also guarantee them because we feel it is the best mattress we can sell.On the foundation, memory foam mattresses need more support than spring mattresses. It is important to have them on a proper surface so they perform well. Not all box springs are adequate and will cause any foam mattress to not feel right. You can choose to return the foundation under our return policy if you feel your box springs are adequate (Not sagging, not springy, & does not have spaces wider than 5" on the surface.)If you have any questions, please let me know. We want to ensure everyone has a good experience and more importantly, gets a good night's rest.
