Best sleep in years!!!
My whole life I have been sleeping on the old - timey spring mattress, but when I had an opportunity to try and review this Modern Sleep 12'' Ventilated Cool gel memory foam mattress I decided that it was time for a change and it's time to provide my back and body the support that it needs and requires. This mattress came compressed in a box which was about 4.5' tall and bout a foot in width. The unpacking experience was hassle free, the only thing i had to do is pull the mattress out of the box and carefully remove a plastic wrap around the mattress with scissors. Upon cutting through the plastic wrap I could immediately see how fast this mattress was regaining its full original shape, it was literally a matter of the seconds before it got completely blown up! I am a woman and did not have any help with me at the time, so dragging this beast on top of my bed was definitely a bit of a challenge, as this mattress (in queen size) is 95lbs in weight! So yes, the hardest thing was pulling the mattress on top of the bed platform and turning it over, as when it comes compressed and rolled in a roll it is actually rolled backwards, so while unrolling it you might be a little bit challenged with turning this thing over on its bottom side. That was pretty much the hardest thing for me to do by myself while unpacking this product and getting it on top of my bed where it belongs! :) I immediately noticed while taking the plastic off that in fact this mattress comes with a mattress cover which can be easily removed and washed whenever necessary, it comes with a zipper so it is very easy to be removed and dry cleaned or washed when needed, I absolutely love that feature, because in case of a spill or even normal long time day to day use I am guessing it will get stained and the fact that I can remove the cover and wash it puts a smile on my face! :) If you unzip the mattress cover you can actually see what this mattress is made from: it has got 3'' Cool Gel memory foam layer ( which is so soft ), 3'' Gel supportive layer and the rest 6'' is a High density foam for the base support. When buying this mattress just make sure that you have a proper platform for it, do not put it on a regular coiled box spring foundation, as it may cause sagging and prevent this mattress from doing its job. This mattress does come with 25 year limited warranty and also includes an instruction sheet inside of the box, which can help you out with instructions on what are the best ways to care about this product. As much as I was excited about trying my new mattress out and finally getting a comfortable night sleep, I had to allow at least 24 hours for it to regain its full shape, as it does come in a tight roll and it requires some time to fluff back up. After the first 24 hours were over this mattress completely reached its full 12'' of thickness, and now measured 60'' in width, 80'' in length and exactly 12'' in height. My first night sleeping on this mattress was by far the most comfortable and restful night that I have truly had in years! Not only this mattress provides the best body support ever, it actually feels as if it hugs every part of your body while sleeping, it contours to every curve in your body which helps to relieve all the pressure points and properly support your hips and spine! Frankly speaking the next morning I did not want to get out of my bed as sleeping on this mattress made me realize how much I was missing out on a comfortable good night sleep for so many years! The top layer of the mattress which is Cool Gel memory foam actually does keep the body cool to my surprise, it does not collect and keep all the body heat which makes it so much easier to fall asleep and stay asleep without getting hot and without constant tossing and turning the whole night long! The other feature that really impressed me was that when two people sleep on the mattress and one for some reason can't fall asleep or just gets up in the middle of the night, the other person can't actually feel a thing! This mattress does not move at all if the other person is turning over or getting up, which is pretty great feature as sleeping on a regular spring mattress I would always wake up from my partner turning over or having to get up in the middle of the night, but not any longer, now I don't have to worry about waking up or get my partner woken up because of a simple movement of my body. This mattress totally "blocks" the feel of any movement! I LOVE that! I love this mattress, it gave me the best most comfortable, pain free great night rest in years! I researched the web in order to find out which mattress is really the best one for your body and what I found actually did not surprise me at all, and I quote: '' Spring mattresses should of being discontinued way back in the 80's! The springs do not give the body a support that it requires, as they do nothing but actually pushing your body back up instead of relieving all the pressure points, they push them back up which makes your spine change the position as well, which gives your body constant aches and backaches''! So yes, after reading that statement it was not a doubt in my mind that Memory foam foam mattress is the best choice one can make, and my fist night sleep on it definitely showed to prove that my old spring mattress was no comparison to this Gel memory foam one! Unfortunately starting this winter I will no longer be able to use my electric blanket as it is not recommended to use electric blanket or electric pad with this mattress as the heat may damage the mattress and impact its ability to reduce pressure! But other than that I absolutely love this mattress and had the best experience using it, and i will definitely never go back to using ANY kind of a spring mattress. I highly recommend it to all the shoppers, there are so many mattresses to choose from on the market, but some of them cost a horrific price up to $1000 or more!!! This mattress costs a third of that and trust me it sleeps absolutely amazing! It does not give any backaches and gives you a wonderful and comfortable all night rest for the fraction of the price!

NOT WHAT YOU PAID FOR
dont even waste your money. for the price i paid for this. i would have thought the material would be nice. I bought an 8 inch and the box even says 8 inch so i opened it 4 days ago to it can inflate and it only got as big as 6in and the corners all all squished in and the zipper is broken. now i have to figure out how to return this because it won't fit back in the box.

    I love this mattress BUT Fiberglass!!!!!
    This is the second mattress I bought of this brand. Comfy and not expensive AND before they stated you could remove the top cover for easy clean with a zipper for access. now out of nowhere they says NOT TO remove the cover but have yet to remove the zipper…now the matress I previously had is in another room and they room is contaminated with fiber glass and so is the room the second one I bought is in…I can't even return it and it hasn't even been a full year than I've purchased this new mattress. Now it'll be more expensive to clean the fiber glass than what the mattress is worth…PLEASE ME WARNED! Doesn't state there is fiberglass. But it just says to not remove the cover due to “health hazard” where was this warning before you changes it randomly??? The picture is of a book I had under my bed that is FULL OF fiberglass

    Not a bad mattress!
    Surprisingly this mattress was a good choice! I bought 2 for our split king adjustable bed not knowing much about this mattress and we are not disappointed. I would have preferred a 14 inch but wasn't sure how it would work with the adjustable bed. It is very comfortable and cool. The only downside is that it recommends you let it expand for 3 days before using it, we would have to sleep on an air mattress, so we took the chance with it and so far so good. It's taking longer for one end on each mattress to fully expand but it does not affect sleeping. Very happy with this purchase at this price.

    Nice looking and soft but not expected size.
    Not 6 Inches. I have had it unboxed and airing out/fluffing it up for 2 days so I dont expect it to get any bigger than it is. The mattress is very soft so probably not ideal for anyone on the heavier side. I bought the 6" Twin for my 5 year olds new loft bed so this will be fine for now. I will try to remember to update later after its been used for a few months.

    Satisfy customer
    I needed a new mattress and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg. Walmart.com has a nice selection of affordable memory form mattresses. My thing was which one would be great mattress for my husband and I. I am happy that I purchase the 14-inch cool gel memory because it's combination of a soft and firm bed... not too soft or too firm! Just the perfect blend greatness!

    Sleeping on clouds
    We purchased this 14" Queen size for our 5 yr old who previously slept on a memory foam fullsize (another brand) and he is a wild sleeper so we decided to get a bigger size. This mattress is truly awesome. It's so comfortable. I myself was never a fan of memory foam mattresses but we got it for him because he suffers from restless leg syndrome and we wanted comfort for him . It's been a week and he sleeps all through the night now. It really was a great purchase. Its firm but not rock hard like I see some other folks mention . Different strokes for different folks.

    I'M FINALLY A BACK-SLEEPER!
    This is a very nice mattress! I am currently in the process of alleviating my chronic back, neck, shoulder and hip pain. I could not get in a comfortable position on my back with my previous mattress. I am very comfortable on this in any position. It feels super soft and very cushiony. When I say cushiony, I mean that it has eliminated any pressure points I previously had on every other mattress I've owned. My husband likes it but hasn't noticed the HUGE difference(s) that I have. I have a high arch in my lower back that needs support when I'm lying on my back. Whether these great improvements in my sleep and pain-control, is a placebo effect, or if it's this truly well-made mattress; I don't care. I am feeling better and better by the day. I'm so excited to begin reversing the ever-worsening body aches and pains I've been dealing with for far too long. I bought special pillows for my head/neck and a body pillow for better support while side-sleeping. Nothing helped…except this mattress. It's an impressive high-quality mattress at an equally impressive affordable price. I LOVE it and it's such a “relief” to finally have a good mattress! Oh, the only negative thing I can think of, is the lingering air-out smell for the 1st few weeks. It says it's normal new smell…smells akin to inflatable blow-up pool gear. This really is minor. It's not harmful and you don't even notice it but upon entering your room for the 1st couple of minutes. It recommends airing it out prior to use, but I was desperate for some comfortable sleep and used it after a few hours of letting it rise/fill out. Oh, lastly, I used to toss and turn through the night because of my side-sleeping and I no longer have to do that at all. I fall asleep on my back and awake in the same position. If/when I do wake up to use the bathroom or if our wee ones wake up, I can get up without disturbing my husband, despite my side being pushed up against a wall corner in our room. I don't know how they make this incredibly soft and durable foam, but I'm very thankful for it. I highly recommend to anyone dealing with chronic aches and pains…especially if you're a side-sleeper that's trying to become a back sleeper. :)

    No denial…it’s a spinal WUNDERBAR sleep!
    Shopping for a mattress always gives me a headache. The prices, the choices, the brands and when does it ever end? After receiving this ‘Modern Sleep Cool Gel 6 Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Mattress’; that battle and headache is now totally GONE! I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone in the market for a new mattress. Please note: you should replace that mattress of yours every 8-10 years. It’s because your mattress will double in weight during that time due to sweat and dust mites, yucky but true. Some are wondering if this would function well with bunk-beds and I say YES! It’s got to be the perfect mattress for bunk-beds as well as; any other regular size bed for your master-bedroom or guest room in my opinion: as they are sold in various sizes and thickness. I’ve already recommended this mattress to my family and friends. Personally I like the best of both worlds when sleeping on a mattress; it should be firm yet soft too. In order to completely achieve such a product, this (firm & soft) ratio combination must be: a unique blend of quality fabric/material and precise manufacturing…for which I assure you ‘Modern Sleep’ has just nailed that one! I awaken relaxed, with absolutely no muscle aches/cramps. Lately, after sleeping on my old mattress, made by a very well known/respected company and it’s only a few years old, my neck felt stiff and tight; as if a llama ran over the back of my head. The ‘Modern Sleep Cool Gel 6 Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Mattress’ provides for me the quality sleep I need each and every night; I awaken feeling completely recharged and ready for whatever the friction of the new day may bring. Modern Sleep effortlessly earns FIVE stars based on their quality, price, durability, comfort, construction and 25 year warranty! You can reach out to 'Modern Sleep' customer service department at: 1-877-707-7533.

    Awesome mattress!
    I just received the Modern Sleep Cool Gel 6" Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Mattress in the twin size for my daughter and she loves it! The memory foam keeps her cool at night while she sleeps by drawing the heat away from her body. It also is firm yet soft enough that you don't have backaches in the morning. I slept on the bed to try it out for myself and it was great! The mattress came in a small box, rolled up and vacuum-sealed in plastic. The box is small enough for you to move around when you first get it. Once you take the mattress out of the box, you cut the first layer of plastic off, then roll it out flat and CAREFULLY cut the vacuum-sealed plastic off and watch the mattress start to “rise.” You have to let the mattress sit for about 24-48 hours so it gets to the maximum size it can. One thing I don't like about this mattress, is that it doesn't have handles on the sides of it so you can easily carry it from room to room if you need to BUT it is a twin size so it wasn't that big of a deal! Bottom line, I would DEFINETLY buy this mattress because it is AMAZING!

    Comfortability meets affordability!
    This is a surprisingly great mattress. My youngest daughter is about to transition from a crib to a low-sitting, twin size bed. This bed tops all others in our house. If feels so dense and thick. It feels like a luxury mattress that costs at least 5 times as much. We've only had the mattress for about a week or so; and each member of our family of 5 has already taken a nap on it…and my 3 year old son has slept in it several nights (preferring it over his own bed). I have a high arch in my lower back that makes back-sleeping very uncomfortable for me. But I've been having a lot of shoulder/arm pain lately from my regular side-sleeping. I have owned a waterbed long ago that was awful. After that, I owned a full-size thick 10”-12” plush mattress that was nice at 1st, or so I thought. Now, my husband and I own a firm queen size pillow-top mattress; and we gave the full to my teenage daughter. My son has a rinky-dink twin mattress. It's a little bit backwards, but my youngest now has THE BEST mattress in the house. I love this mattress. My daughter loves it and wants to downsize her bed to it. It is EXTREMELY comfortable for back-sleeping, which is how I want to start sleeping each night. But I just can't get comfortable that way…except on this new mattress. I think at tax time each year, we're going to upgrade one or two of our mattresses to this specific kind, in our suited size(s), until we all have these. When I bought my previous full-size mattress, I went around the whole store and laid on nearly all of the beds. This one feels just as nice as the top of the line expensive one in the store. Every time I lean onto the mattress with my knee to crawl onto the bed to rest or play on it, or to tuck my daughter in, I just can't believe how nice it is. It's been on my mind for the last 2 years that I need to really invest into a good bed soon. Both my husband and I are sore a lot. He's 140 lbs. and I'm 110 lbs. We are not sore from obesity thankfully, but we have back and neck problems a lot. We've tried several different pillows but cannot afford the very expensive mattresses out on the market. I am completely shocked and thankful that I was given the opportunity to try this out. I now know that comfortable back-sleeping CAN be attained at an affordable price. I haven't owned this long enough to know how long this quality of sleep and posture alignment will last, but I'm so impressed by it, that I believe I would continue to purchase this same mattress over and over as necessary, if/when it became worn out. It feels much thicker/supportive than any 6” mattress. I didn't notice any perks or truth to the “cool-gel-claim”. But that doesn't change my partiality towards the comfortableness of this mattress. I'm not sure if this has a weight limit or not. Nor am I sure if you're supposed to rotate this every month or so, but I have heard that that may help maximize the life of a mattress, especially one that has any kind of memory foam in it. This has 3 different layers in it, but I can't tell. I just know it's the most comfortable mattress I've ever laid/slept on…and it supports/fills-in my lower back arch very nicely; but without “sinking-in”. I honestly wasn't expecting this type of quality. I am OVERLY IMPRESSED! This is my personal opinion, but I think sleep is underrated. It is very important that growing children have good support during their growing years. Good sleep and support is essential to adults in regards to the long-run of mobility. When you hurt, you stiffen up…and it creates this vicious bad habit of sleep cycles. Being curled up starts to become what is more comfortable and that's messed up. I'm glad I found this while I'm in my 30's so I can try to break/reverse the poor posture habit that I've been falling into.

    Very comfortable mattress!
    The Modern Sleep Cool Gel 8-inch Ventilated Gel Memory Foam mattress is an excellent mattress. I love memory foam mattresses because of how well they support my back. I prefer them to an inner spring mattress hands down for comfort and support. This mattress came shipped in a big roll and after carefully removing the thicker outer plastic wrap there was an inner plastic to pull away as well. As soon as I opened it, it started to unroll very quickly so be sure to open it in the bedroom where you want to lay it down in. There is a smell when you first set up a memory foam mattress and you need to air it out as much as you can before you encase it in any mattress protector or even a fitted sheet. I set mine up around noon and kept the ceiling fan on throughout the day. At bedtime, I put a loose sheet on top to sleep, the odor was still there but not overpowering. In the morning, I took that off to continue to air it, the odor was completely gone within 48 hrs. This mattress is firm, yet very comfortable. The foam is not hot like sometimes happens with memory foam. It seems the cool gel layer really does work as far as that is concerned. I thought I would be unhappy with the thickness of this mattress being only 8 inches which is similar to a regular inner spring mattress thickness. I was wrong about that, the thickness is perfect! It is easy to lift the corners when making the bed, unlike thicker mattresses. It is lightweight yet sturdy. The modern sleep cool gel memory foam mattress has a zippered cover that can be removed and washed also. There is a twenty five year limited warranty as well. Great mattress!

    Sleep like a baby
    I am very happy with my new Mattress. The Modern Sleep Cool Gel mattress is surprisingly firm yet soft. I wasn’t sure if a solid foam mattress was for me. I have always had traditional coil pillow top mattresses but it was time for a replacement. I hurt my back a few months ago and was never getting a good night sleep anymore. This mattress stops me from tossing and turning to find a comfortable position. My husband also was happy with his sleep on this mattress. The top memory foam moves with your body to erase any pressure points. We had it 2 nights and then we went on a trip in our RV and I really missed my new mattress. It was nice to come back home and sleep soundly. I used to wake up to husband sitting on the side of the bed putting on his socks and boots, the bed would bounce. Not so with a foam mattress. I sleep right through his movements. I wanted to mention the few surprises that aren’t in the regular marketing of the bed. It arrives rolled up in a box in a vacuum sealed bag. When I saw the box, I was sure there was a mistake. When you cut the bag, it grows to almost full size in a matter of minutes. We measured it after 24 hours and it was the full 12 inches. Some foam mattresses have reviews saying that it was an inch or so short. Not this one. The other surprise was the cover. It comes in a removable zippered cover so I can wash the cover occasionally. That was something I had not expected.

    LIFE IS SHORT: BE COOL AND SLEEP WELL!
    My first memory foam mattress was purchased just 3 years ago and was a: "Comfort Dreams Select-A-Firmness 11-inch Queen-size Memory Foam Mattress" for about $400 bucks. I chose SOFT as the firmness but it wasn't so soft. The whole time I slept on it, it seemed to retain too much of my body heat. It just wasn't working out for me. Because of this, I started looking for a gel overlay, but the prices at that time were too high so I just dealt with the retained heat within the mattress. I tossed and turned many nights and never really got a good night's sleep. To boot, I am a middle-aged female with the whole night sweats events. I prayed that someday I could replace my mattress with Cool Gel technology. Recently, Walmart offered me this Modern Sleep Queen Cool Gel bed to product test and I was more than willing to give it a try. I have slept on it now for about a week and the difference between my former 3-year old memory foam mattress and this new one is amazing, even beginning on the very first night! Apparently, the technology has changed for the better. I can honestly say, in comparison with my former memory foam mattress, this Modern Sleep mattress is a wonderful improvement! It's more plush and whisks away, I would say, 90% more of my body heat than my former bed. I am very impressed to say the least. I sleep in an environment that does not have air conditioning so I feel I really put this mattress to the test. I sleep more comfortably and longer than I had been sleeping on my former memory foam mattress. I give this mattress 5 thumbs up for comfort and packing. The mattress comes rolled up and compressed, very much like Pillsbury dough, boxed, and easy to transport. The box weighs about 92 pounds but it really doesn't seem like it; I moved it completely on my own. I had mine delivered to my post office box, brought my truck around back to the USPS dock and it was easily loaded into my truck bed. So compact, I was even able to close my truck bed tailgate (see my pic). Offloading was a breeze too. The box, although heavy, is easy to "walk" into your house. Again, it really doesn't seem that heavy at all. I already owned a metal bed frame for my previous queen mattress, therefore, I just laid the box on top of it. I stripped the box open, gently cut open the plastic wrap, and the mattress folded open laying out flat on its own. It began its expansion (rising) process before I even got the last bit of plastic wrap off of it (again, think Pillsbury dough). It was over so quick, I didn't even have time to grab the camera and video tape it! These new beds are incredibly compact and easy to set up. I only wish I could upload more photos but am limited to just two, but feel the ones I was able to upload are the most helpful for you. One thing that I remember with my former 3-year old memory foam mattress was, it had a very pungent smell for many days following opening (I was told this was the fire retardant) and I needed to air it out. I was not able to sleep on it right out of the box, rather, had to let it sit for a week or two to get rid of the smell. That was not the case with this Modern Sleep memory foam bed; I was able to sleep on it the very first night. A very, very minute odor can be detected for the first couple of days but disperses quickly, unlike my former bed. Again, 5 Stars! LOVE IT! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! GREAT PRICE!

    Cooling gel for summers with memory foam comfort!
    I used to think that you had to spend upwards of $1500, and even more, for a great mattress in order to get that coveted good night's sleep. It is incredible how technology has been such a game-changer in terms of memory foam and cooling gel that it would seem you no longer have to spend thousands to get a good night's sleep. This Modern Sleep 12" gel-infused memory foam mattress provides body-contouring memory foam to help alleviate pressure points when you are resting and also helps to properly align your spine. The top layer of gel foam in this mattress is ventilated, which helps keep the mattress cooler as it draws heat away from the body. When the mattress arrives at your home, it arrives compressed, so when you remove it from the packaging, be sure to place it in a space so that it has room to expand rapidly once opened. I would definitely rotate this mattress after using it a few months to prevent permanent indentations just like any other mattress, but by design, it apparently is not one you would flip since the bottom of the mattress is different from the top material-wise. You may also note a "chemical" smell when you first set up your mattress, but I am sure this will disappear. I have had this mattress opened for 2 or 3 days, and the "odd" smell is mostly gone. I also experienced a similar smell with the mattress topper on my other bed, and after a week or so, the smell was completely gone. The mattress foundation I ordered for this mattress has not yet arrived, so I just tried my new mattress out on the floor. I never take naps on the week-end; however, once I laid down on this mattress, I must have fallen asleep in less than 5 minutes! The mattress is plush, yet firm, providing great support for the back. Even my husband, who had back surgery several years ago, commented how nice and supportive it feels. It is also really hot where I live, so the fact that the gel helps keep one cool is a huge plus in humid, 95 degree weather. One of the things I was afraid of is that anything that has memory foam can have such "great memory" that it creates indentations, so that when you turn over from your back to your side, you fall into a hole because the memory foam didn't spring back fast enough. Thankfully, this mattress does not do that, and I suspect it has something to do with the construction of the mattress itself, with the gel combined with foam for the first 6 inches and memory foam on the bottom 6 inches. I have considered many times adding a second bed to our home, just for those sleepless nights when I need my iPad to distract me back to sleep, but didn't want to wake my husband - and now I finally have what I need. I cannot wait until my mattress platform arrives to see what it feels like to be up on a platform - and I don't have to worry about the bottom of the mattress getting dirty. (The platform would also have made for better pictures!) Plus, having the mattress up on a platform allows the bed to breathe, which preserves your health, as well as the health of the mattress. I think this Modern Sleep 12" gel-infused memory foam mattress is a wonderful mattress, offering amazing, cooling gel for those hot summers with memory foam comfort, great support for my back and my tired muscles on my weight-lifting days - and who knew you could have such comfort for less than $400!! And a 25 year warranty - that's tough to beat!
