12 Inch Soft Sleeper 5.5 Full / Double Mattress With 4 Inches Made From 100% Visco Elastic Memory Fo

I like the bed but its far from perfect, a little background about me,

I have been sleeping on cheap futons for years, they seam to last

about few years and flatten out to about an inch or two, from the

4 inches or more of its original thickness, I replace the futon when

its to uncomfortable to sleep on, and I like a hard bed, but not to

hard, BTW my weight is about 250lb and just under 6 foot tall, I

ordered this bed thinking about other "Memory foam" mattresses

and how they felt, this bed does not feel like them, its really

really soft and you sink real deep into it.

When I got the bed in, it came in 3 boxes, each had a 4 inch thick

sheet of foam inside, the foam sheets are labeled, something like

soft, medium, hard, and there is a large fitted sheet to hold the

layers together, its a little bit of a struggle to put that fitted

sheet on, and then none of my fitted sheets would fit over that

fitted sheet, all I had was normal size fitted sheets, bed was to

thick for them.

Then I tried the bed, it felt good, but I sunk into the bed real bad, so

much so it was hard to move or maneuver out of the spot I sunk into.

I tried rolling over on my belly and the center part of my body sunk in

so far I was bent into a curve, that did not feel to good, I tried a few

nights like this and did not get much sleep.

After a few sleepless nights I decided to experiment, I removed the

"medium" foam layer and only kept the top and bottom, the "Soft" and

"Hard", and I put a 1.5 inch "Memory foam" mattress topper under the

"Hard" foam layer, because I was still sinking into the foam, and

without the "medium" layer I was sinking down so far I could just

barely feel the foundation the mattress was set on, with it set up

with the mattress topper and the "Hard" and "Soft" layers it works

OK, I still sink into the bed, but not as bad, I would have kept

the the "medium" and "hard" but the top layer is the "Memory foam",

later on I may try the "medium" and "hard" only.

After all that, I decided to better protect the foam layers and make it

easier to move around and work with, the foam layers seam to move

out of place a little bit every time you get in and out of bed, and

the foam sticks together threw friction making it hard to move, so

I got futon covers, the stretchy kind, and put one on each foam layer,

that also helped firm-up the foam a little, I got the mattress topper and

futon covers at Walmart.

Its not a bad bed, I don't hate it, its just a cheep bed, and right now its

not to bad. I only worry about it flattening out over time, and yea next

time I will spend the extra $$$, but like I said its not a bad bed, Its just

a cheap bed.
