This mattress exceeded my expectations!
January 8, 2018
Alright let's start from the beginning, the mattress arrived in a box that appeared to survive some great battle. My guess is it was accosted by a secret society of ninjas sworn to a life of assassinating mattresses, no doubt hired by one of those big box mattress stores. But my mattress fought against all odds and came out the victor.
Once the box was removed I found the mattress quite flat and doubled bagged (it kinda looked liked it was trapped like General Zod in Superman 2 when he was trapped in that mirror thing then thrown into space), I set forth to remove the plastic and free my new mattress from its infernal prison to which it thanked me by springing to life. I positioned my new mattress on my platform bed frame and left it to get it's swole on.
After a few hours, I revisited my mattress with a tape measure and confirmed it reached its full potential. Now it was time to try it out. After making my new bed I settled in for the night and my bed instantly molded to me like a warm hug from all directions. Not to firm, not too soft, just right. The one drawback is when you try to move in the night. Because the mattress molds to you when you try to escape it's harder than getting away from that stage 5 clinger girlfriend you had in high school (I'm looking at you, Stacey!)
Honestly, the 10-year warranty is fairly useless given the percentages they will refund versus the cost of the mattress but at the same time that is cool with me. Even if I got a few years out of this mattress I've gotten my money's worth.
If you're on the fence about getting this or getting one of it's high priced cousins the answer is easy, get this mattress, it is fantastic. Just hope yours too will survive the ninja attacks in route!

No Proposition 65 warning & zipper broken!
February 6, 2019
Took a nap on the mattress and woke up with a migraine. The mattress also never fully reached 12 inches after decompression. Upon research I found out that the company is pending a legal sanctions failure to list Proposition 65 tags on products and warning the customers of the health risks caused by the chemicals that are contained within the mattress. products. I don't doubt that the mattress foam is Certi-Plus, however I am not so sure about the mattress cover and zipper which smells.

It seems to be a common theme that those of us that need a new mattress, but at an affordable price, do a ton of research. I searched for weeks online for different mattresses at different stores and tried to see who was having specials (I tried to know which one I wanted by Amazon Prime week, but I just wasn't ready to decide by then!). I looked at beds that had thousands of reviews because I thought those would be most reliable due to the quantity of those that had tried the bed. I looked at beds that didn't have a ton of reviews (like this one with I think like 400-700 hundred, I can't remember), and I also did Google searches to find more thorough reviews from professionals. My goal was to buy a king size mattress for $250-$300. I was really close to picking the Amazon Basics (or something like that) and I can't remember exactly what pushed me to this bed, but I think this one was actually a bit less expensive for the 12in size vs the 10 inch and from my research I did gather that the general consensus was to get as many inches as possible (that's what she said) because a memory foam bed probably wouldn’t expand as largely as it should. So the Vibe bed it was!
I ordered on a Thursday and it was supposed to arrive on Saturday (the day my new bed was to arrive), but lo and behold I had it by Friday night! As you see the box came it a very good condition (something I think some have complained about). So I am a single woman and had to get it up to my bedroom on the second floor. I will say it took a bit of elbow grease, but I managed to walk it into the house and then slide the box upstairs and into my room. DEFINITELY do not remove the bed from the box until you are ready to open it.
Once upstairs, I laid some blankets down and then pulled the box off (while leaving the plastic on). I unrolled the mattress and it expanded to about 8 inches in less than 20 minutes and 10 in less than 20. I couldn't resist trying it out, so I cut the plastic a little bit and crawled in (seems weird, but with two kids I did not want that plastic off until the mattress was going to be immediately covered with a mattress protector and sheet!). It was decently comfy!
Like it wasn't super firm by any means, but my ideal bed is one that literally feels like a super soft pillow, so I did notice a difference there, but it was 95% fine. Like I know a topper would take this bed to 110% amazing so I am good with that.
Two days later (I didn't really check the next day) and the bed was fully at it's 12 inches. I was VERY impressed, because the pics in some review of memory foam beds made it look like the edges of the mattress never really took on a rounded square shape. Not this one! This bed fully looks like a completely even, regular mattress.
And I have been super tired lately so that could contribute, but honestly I have never slept better on a bed! I set an alarm to wake me up halfway though the night so I can see that I have more time to sleep, and with this bed I always miss that alarm!
I snuggle up in this bed with my nice warm comforter and that is all she wrote!
I have no comment about whether the mattress gets hot, because with comforters I would have no idea how someone is able to attribute being hot to the mattress and not, um the covers?
Overall the only thing that could make this bed better is if it was just a smidgen softer, but truly for the price I would definitely pick this bed again.
Some memory foam users complain that the sides begin to sag eventually so I am praying I don't encounter that. Overall, I know this review is rather lengthy, but I wanted to give a review that would have empowered me to take the plunge when I was shopping. Hope this helps!

I'll start by saying that this is my very first memory foam mattress i've ever owned - now given the price, i didn't expect this would have me completely floored thinking this is the greatest steal of all time. The package arrived pretty banged up, but the mattress intself was double wrapped and i didn't see any sort of damage to the mattress itself. I let the matttress air out for two days and unless i completely suck at using a measuring tape, i'm only reading 11 inches. The first night i slept on it i got a decent amount of sleep, although i will say it's a pain getting out of the bed as it really sucks you in - again, this is my first time using a memory foam and reading other reviews for other mattresses this is a common theme. If i get near the edges my body slowly but surely starts sliding off, but once i move towards the center its actually pretty firm. I'm a weightlifter at 240 lbs and i get really hot in general throughout the day. The first night i didn't feel any hot spots but last night i felt them. I was definitely skeptical picking up the mattress as it seems it's brand spanking new without many reviews. I'll update this within a month and see how it's holding up.
*EDIT* 12/05/2017 - Took the bed about a week to reach the 12 inches as advertised, from the date of my initial review. The bed is incredibly comfortable, and as the weather has cooled down, the bed's form has seemed to improve. I don't regret my purchase. I'll definitely recommend it to others.

I’m loving this mattress so far! Headed for just about two months, and I’ve been sleeping soundly.
If I had to give a complaint, like most memory foam mattresses it is kind of soft around the edges. Other than that, great mattress, although my packaging arrived in absolute disarray. That does not take anything away from how good this mattresses though.

Overall this is a great mattress for the price. Arrived quickly and was easy to unbox and set-up. Inflated fast & we were able to sleep on it the first night. This is sold as a medium-firm mattress, but is definitely more firm than medium. When you first lay down, you sink in a little, but not quite medium or any plush feel - however, with that said, it is very comfortable and my back pain from my old mattress is eliminated. This is my first memory foam mattress and in my opinion, it does sleep hot. We’ve had the mattress almost a month and no sags or indentions - I’m sleeping much better except my husband still snores (LOL!) but at least with this bed, the motion is isolated so our tossing and turning do not interrupt the others sleep. Overall, I would definitely recommend. We will try a topper and different material sheets to address the heat.

For around $250 this was the one I chose after a few days of research. There seem to be a lot of 10-12" thick memory foam mattresses that claim to be Medium-Firm. I am a side sleeper and was looking for a little bit softer one usually advertised as Medium-Plush. This VIBE 12" was one of very few that is under $300 that claims to be of the Medium-Plush variety and after reading a majority of the reviews I decided to order one. Once it arrived I opened it and layed it our on my bed frame and allowed it to expand for a full 24 hours. One of the nice things about this particular one is that it doesn't require that 48-72 hours to fully expand. So after a full 24 hours of airing it out I spent my first night on the mattress. It felt pretty firm but I just chocked it up to it being new and resisted writing this review. Now a full week later its still quite firm. I'm not saying its uncomfortable because honestly it is decent for the price. But I can say after owning a medium-plush memory foam mattress in the past that this is definitely NOT that. Its much closer to medium-firm. I'm a little disappointing because for such low cost, and the fact that it would be a huge pain to package and return, I am most likely going to try to get use to it. I really hope the sell/manufacturer amend their specs of this mattress. Its simply not honest to advertise it as Medium-Plush. Having said all of that, Its build quality is quite good! Its true to size and fits on my IKEA bed frame snug but well. The mattress cover is very soft and flexible and my queen sheets fit perfectly without bunching up. After about 2 days it is a full 12" tall. It did have a bit of and chemical odor for a couple days but it is gone now.
In conclusion, its a good value especially compared to name brands that basically offer the same construction for double and triple the price. I am only going to knock off 1 star for inaccurate specs.

So I wanted to wait six months before writing a review.
Honestly, this bed is firm as hell. I was not expecting a memory foam mattress to be so firm, but I like it. I work out a lot and I’ve not been sore from sleeping as I was with my Serta pillow top mattress. It’s hard for me to get out of bed, cause I’m so comfy and I fall right asleep. I can’t do homework in bed, cause I’ll fall right asleep... I guess that’s a good thing.
It’s my first memory foam mattress, so I didn’t know why I was getting so sweaty. Memory foam mattresses trap heat. I’m not sure if the cooling gel works or not as this is my first memory foam mattress. I got this with a 14-inch platform base, a mattress topper and mattress protector, and bamboo sheets. I’m still waking up sweaty half the time because I sleep really hot. I have to turn off the heat or not use a comforter if I don’t want to sweat. Otherwise, comfy bed with no loud spring noises!

Not a soft mattress, but I like firm so seems fine after a few nights. Have another brand as well. This mattress is not as high quality as the other, but it was significantly less for the king size. Was trying to save some money and am still very happy with this lower cost one. Expanded to true size, no odor. Cover is a bit loose, saggy looking, but that does not affect sleep quality. I sleep great, no pressure points considering I have a hip problem. I can sleep on both sides with this mattress where I cannot on a traditional pillow top. Got the 12" which is plenty thick.

We got this mattress to replace a 25 year old waterbed that was giving up. Did not want to spend a ton of money on a mattress right now since might be moving sometime in the near future and who knows what we will want to do then.
The thousands of reviews on all of the memory foam mattresses are all over the place! It does not help that, the way Amazon groups the reviews, you cannot always tell exactly which mattress the reviewer purchased (10 inch? 12? Gell/no-gell/hybred??). Here is my impression of the VIBE 12 inch California King Gel Memory We have only had this several weeks, so take that into consideration.
First off, the mattress arrived a day earlier than Amazon said it would. That was great for me, but be sure to check your tracking # with the delivery company if you don't want yours sitting out in the rain or snow unexpectedly. The box was huge as you would expect for a King size. Not sure exactly how much it weighed, but based on shipping documents, it was somewhere between 80-100 lbs. Don't worry too much about someone stealing this off of your porch! Despite the size and weight it was not that difficult for me to "walk" the box into the house and then push it up the stairs to the second floor.
The hardest part of the unboxing was how many heavy staples were used to close the box. After got it open, the procedure was just like the video. Cut open the outer plastic bag and the thing starts to unroll itself. You can hear the air hissing already into the mattress. Then cut the inner plastic and the thing starts to expand. Funny note: The instruction sheet on how to open the bags is INSIDE the bag! You will want to get the mattress pretty close to where you want it to wind up - especially if you buy a big one - as it expands quickly. The quality of the mattress seems very high. Made in Vietnam. Seems like they do good work there.
I was hoping that the mattress would fit into the old waterbed frame so I set it sideways on the bed frame with boards underneath it (see pic 1) to let it expand and air out as many reviews (and the inside-the-bag instructions) all talk about a "smell" when you first open it up. However, we notice absolutely no smell from the mattress at any time.
Almost immediately the "outer" end of the roll (closest to camera in pic 1) expanded to almost 11 inches. The far end was pretty close to the same. The middle was at about 8 inches (pic 2) and only very slowly expanded. It took more than 48 hours for it to get to about 11 1/2 while the two ends went to 12 quickly, so I was worried for a while there would be a big sag, but it eventually evened out.
After it got to full size, just spun it 90 degrees, put on some sheets, removed the boards, and it fit perfectly into the old Calif-King waterbed frame.
How does it feel? I think some people (and some mattress makers) do not understand the differences between apparent "softness" and things like "compression." If you just push your hand on the mattress, it feels very-very soft, your hand goes down several inches quite easily with no effort. That is most likely the upper "gel" layer. Once you are on the bed however, your body hits and is supported by the next foam layer and that does not give very much at all. This effect is not really noticeable when spread out on your back and weight evenly distributed on the gel, but you really feel it if rolling on your side where there is more weight on smaller pressure points. At the same time, while it is firm, it is different from the firmness of a standard mattress, it is not like a board, there is at least some give even when on your side, but you feel the foam's resistance.
The end result is, overall, a very firm mattress. It is not as firm as some really hard mattresses I have slept on, but it is up in the top 10-20% or so on firmness I would say with it feeling more firm when on your side than on your back
Verdict? For me, this might be the absolute most comfortable mattress ever for lying on you back. Propped up reading a book, you feel like you are floating but with support. It really is amazing., much better than the old waterbed or any standard mattress I have ever been on. On my side, which is how I often sleep, I decided that I would be happier - and would get to sleep sooner - if it was a bit softer. Thus, I purchased one of those quilted pillow-top mattress covers.
The mattress also holds heat pretty well, despite the "cooling gel" claim. If you are under a comforter or or even a lighter cover that does not "breath" the heat is going to build up. The heat dissipates quickly if you pull the covers back. The quilted mattress cover/top I purchased really helped out here so you can get a bit of air between you and the mattress.
Overall then this is a very good deal on a very good mattress, and you are saving enough to go ahead and budget for getting a good mattress topper if the firmness or heat is a problem. So, under $300 for a Cal-King mattress that is working this well (so far), is very good price and value.

So far so good, 1 star taken away for false advertisement, as you can see from photos it’s not 12 inches. It took only about 30m to fully decompress out of the box. I did lay on it for a few seconds; super comfy and does not sink the body in too much (which I am happy about), but just enough for side sleepers like myself. There does seem to be enough support for you back sleepers as well! The foam bounces right back without leaving an indentation for long as the video I posted shows. I did a lot of reading of reviews and research, as this is my 1st time having to buy a mattress, and I am so pleased with this purchase! Price just went up, I got the full size for $186 after waiting a few more days until it re-stocked. Take advantage, it sells out quickly! I will wait the recommended 24-72 hours and update after a few nights of rest on it.

After having yet another high ticket pillow top mattress sink morphing into a black hole I started my search into the world of beds in boxes and ended up settling on this one about a week ago. So far so good, here the big takeaways from my first impression
-As others have said the box itself was in poor shape, it actually didn't even make it through the front door, but that saved me the hassle of having to break down an awkwardly sized box so this wasn’t necessarily a con for me
- The thing inflated to the full 12 inches within the first 20 minutes of unwrapping it, which was pretty impressive to watch
- It is advertised as being medium plush but it is not plush in any capacity. Full disclosure this is my first memory foam bed. Being a relatively petite person I might just not have the correct amount of mass to make it sink, and with that being said the irony is not lost on me for getting a new bed for the sake of not sinking into a void, but it could stand to be a little more cushy and this is something I hope improves with time and use
- There was definitely some off-gassing after unwrapping the mattress which dissipated within the first 24 hours. The smell itself wasn't horrible, my 7 year old said it stunk of vegetables. If you have respiratory problems this might be an issue for you if you don't have a means of ventilating your space.
- So far it does sleep a little hot, but I feel like this might be due in part to the mattress protector I have over it.
I fully intend on updating this review in a couple months but until then, for the price its definitely not the worst surface I’ve ever slept on but coming from a dumpster fire $1000 failure of a mattress to this solid beast has been a neither bad nor exceedingly pleasant adjustment
