Signature Design by AshleyLimited Edition Pillow Top 13 Inch Pillow Top Hybrid Mattress with Gel Memory Foam and Edge Support for Cool Sleep and Pressure Relief, Queen

UPDATE, Dec 23, 2022: Two weeks of use so far, and I'm a new man. I haven't cursed anyone out in a week. I haven't threatened to throttle anyone in days. I've managed to stay awake the entire day for the last week instead of nodding off on my lunch break at work. I'm getting a daily workout from sprinting to the bathroom in the morning because I'm sleeping straight through the night instead of waking up multiple times to pee.The mattress isn't sink-right-in cushion-y. I'm 5'8" and around 250lbs at the moment (might change soon, I have the energy to exercise now!), it offers good support without being rock hard and that support does make a difference...my back has been almost completely pain-free for a week now that I'm adjusting to it. The top isn't super-squishy, but it pads the mattress comfortably. I'm a side-sleeper who rolls onto my back during the night, and it supports both positions perfectly. Also easy to get up from (I have a very low bed and a sassy knee), it's got a touch of springiness but not too much. Again, I don't care about the aesthetics, so my fitted sheet is pinning the corners down and I never bothered to check to see if they fully puffed up or whatever. So far, I feel like I got a good value for my money, and I'm legitimately shocked at the difference the right mattress can make. Still five stars.ORIGINAL: I'll preface this with the admission that I haven't slept on this mattress yet. Once I give it a little bit of time, I'll return and adjust the review as necessary. As of today, December 10 2022, five stars.A few years ago, someone bought me a mattress without my input that met exactly 0 of my sleeping needs, and my back has been more contorted than a yoga instructor ever since. I searched Amazon for a plush, full-size, mattress-in-a-box out of agonized desperation, and I never went past the second line of the search results because this was one of the top suggestions.I have furniture from Ashley Furniture that I love, so I felt comfortable with the brand. It was on sale for a great price, it had a delivery date available for this weekend, it was a hybrid mattress, and it came in a box. Surely, this was a sign from heaven. I ordered one, and then my sieve-like brain promptly forgot all about it.I ordered a mattress-in-a-box because I, in all my obnoxiously overconfident non-wisdom, believe I can do anything despite possessing noodley arms and brittle, middle-aged bones. I wanted something compact enough to handle on my own, without having to re-enact the FRIENDS "pivot" scene with any of my equally dimwitted acquaintances.The mattress delivery is coordinated with Ashley Furniture, so you pick your delivery day upon ordering. You can have the service bring the mattress in and set it up for you if you want to pay a little extra, but I opted to have it delivered in my home entryway to deal with myself. In the preparation guidelines, it's stated you'll be notified at the phone number you provide when your delivery is near and can follow along on a tracker until it arrives.I woke up at 6:55 this morning to my dog losing her mind because a another early morning delivery landed on my doorstep. Tired, confused, and substantially achy, I puttered around contemplating the universe for around 10 minutes before my phone went off to alert me my delivery was imminent. I was halfway through reading this text message when there was a knock on my door. Still confused, still tired, and looking as dapper as ever in my bedhead and pajamas, I opened the door to allow two delivery men to bring the surprisingly early box into the house.I definitely suggest having another person to help out with this. Most people will say that's obvious, but I know there are guys out there like me who scoff in the face of reason. It's not impossible to handle by oneself, but help is...well, helpful. I had to take the bound mattress from the box to maneuver it upstairs alone, which I did by bear-hugging it and hauling it up, one step at a time. It's about as heavy as any other mattress (which isn't extremely heavy, but the bulk makes them difficult), so not awful, but it probably wasn't safe for me to carry it up that way.The mattress is wrapped in an outer layer of plastic to be removed once you're ready to place it, and when you have it where you want it you can cut the last restraining plastic. It opens right up, fully formed and ready to go. The middle of the foam pops up pretty much instantly, but the corners are a little flat and probably need more time.I didn't measure the mattress to test against some of the other reviews' size complaints. I don't care if the corners never puff up perfectly. I laid down to test it once it was open and my back, accustomed to my concrete slab of a previous mattress, began crackling like a bowl of cereal. I stayed there for five minutes and vertebrae I didn't realize I still had started expanding back into shape. It's comfortable, it's supportive, it's nice, and it's affordable.I'll have to re-assess after I've slept on it for a little bit to see how it stands up, but so far it looks like a surprisingly good mattress. Just remember: 1) have help available, 2) don't forget you ordered a mattress, and 3) if your delivery window begins at 7am then be dressed and ready by 7am.

The only thing I notice as a cut back cost quality is that the actual sides around the mattress are not padded inside between the springs & outer covering. I can feel them during set up. It is only noticeable if you roll your hand along the actual side. The corners are padded. This is a more firm mattress with the hybrid plush top. One sided. It is a great value for quality, price & sleep. Need a new mattress with semi firm support? This is fantastic. I have multiple degenerative & immune disease spinal issues. Amazed that queen size mattress with my husband sleeping by my side there is not a disruptive noticeable amount of 2nd person movement throughout the mattress. It is pretty heavy box when it arrives. You might need additional help maneuvering the box. Sturdy heavy box. Not a dent or tear on outer box. Un box. Set on foundation /frame. Unroll SLOWLY the cling wrap 1st layer. If you pull it slowly as it comes off it's very simple. The heavy gauge vacuum plastic may begin to expand before you cut bag. I made sure the roll of mattress was on middle of box spring so it unfolded without issue, cut small line opening on bottom end of mattress bag. It begins to expand. Then just get craft scissors and cut AWAY heavy plastic from mattress down plastic bag around 3 sides. I was able to pull the plastic off the mattress in about 3 easy pulls. Let it sit at least 24 hrs because it will become 12" and fully fill out nicely. Sleeping on slightly higher mattress, make sure you check your corner fitted sheet . At 12" you want a good amount of coverage around & under mattress. I recommend 16-17" fitted corner max so it doesn't slip off. We also put a mattress pad on our mattress then the fitted sheet. I can say I was pleased to sleep well all night. Back & side. And I have severe level spine issues. My husband has hip arthritis as we are getting older and he also sleeps well. 4 nights and neither of us has woke the other haven't woke in discomfort or hot. Remember this is more firm-ish than medium. I am extremely satisfied with this Ashley product. There is NO fireproof chemical treatment on this mattress. That is a plus for allergy sufferers & skin sensitivities. Great mattress. I finally look forward to "going to bed" again.

I was unsure at first about the quality of a bed that comes in a box BUT...my son loves this mattress! He said it's very comfortable and it has kept it's shape really well. As you can see in the pictures, it's quite thick! We followed the instructions on letting it take shape after removing it from the box and it took just over a day but was worth the wait! Was surprised at how thick and solid this was after being in a box. Would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking for a quality reasonably priced mattress!**Frame not included, bought it separately**

Thank goodness I decided to switch my mattress for a better one(Ashley 12 inch Chime). My sibling has this mattress and I was given positive feedback. I got the firm because that’s what I prefer to sleep on. I experience zero back pain and it’s very comfortable to sleep on. Despite my mattress not reaching 12inches after 5 days of giving it extra time to fully expand, I would still recommend this mattress to anybody seeking a peaceful night’s sleep. Most certainly worth the money.I had back issues sleeping on another mattress from a different brand here on Amazon. Not only were the seams coming apart, but the bed was very uncomfortable to sleep on.

Seems well made and reasonably comfortable. We'll see how it stands up.

Great mattress, had already purchased one, but couldn’t get another at the local furniture store, I was ecstatic when I discover this same one. Now I’m looking to get another BUT it has gone up in price. I will keep looking. Very comfortable. You won’t go wrong by purchasing this.

We are very pleased with our purchase. Firm and comfortable. No weight transfer moving. Easy unpacking and putting together.
