Vibe Gel Memory Foam Mattress, 12-Inch CertiPUR-US Certified Bed-in-a-Box, Full, White

I purchased this mattress (the 12" Cal King) in 2020, and it's now five years old. I've intentionally waited a long period of time after purchasing to leave this review. The main reason for me doing this was because I truly wanted to give an honest appraisal of the mattress that truly reflects its longevity and how it lasts in the long run -- not after a few weeks like some of the reviews you see.So, this mattress? It's good stuff. Honestly. As long as the materials and structures are the same within the mattresses, I can 100% vouch for this product. I'll break it down a little bit:When I ordered this mattress, it came in a box as expected. Same process as everyone else. Put it on the base, unroll it, open it, and let it rise. In a few hours, it expanded to full size. We were able to sleep on it the same night, and it's been great ever since. There were no issues with corners being mashed or dips in the foam. I keep seeing people complain about fiberglass, and while I'm aware that fiberglass is used a fire protectant, I haven't had any issues with it myself. Of course, I also haven't tried to take off the cover, and the mattress went directly into an encasement before we slept on it. There's not really any reason to actually take the cover off anyway. If you're concerned about stains or keeping things clean, spend the $30 and buy an encasement or a cover. If it gets stained or dirty, you can wash it or throw it out and you still protect the mattress. Pretty simple concept.This bed is quite comfortable (and frankly one of the most comfortable mattresses I've ever owned -- including a $3000+ Serta set), but it's important to remember that bedding preferences are going to be different for virtually every person because of our individual preferences. To me, the bed has a very solid base of support that progressively softens until the top. This lends the mattress to providing a firm support underneath a really floaty support layer. If you push down on the bed, you'll find that it's pretty solid. Once you lie on it, however, you'll notice that it cradles you. Only recently have I started having some pain from sleeping, but that's likely due more to me than the mattress (other factors here like multiple pillows, the way I sleep, etc.). So, to reiterate: this mattress is both firm and plush, supportive and cradling. If you don't like this feeling or prefer to have an extra firm mattress with no give, then this one isn't for you. Temperature-wise, it's been comfortable and never hot.As far as stability, this bed has been solid for five years now. It's only recently started to show signs of being worn. Part of this is my fault, of course, because I'm a big guy. Regardless, having a sub-$500 mattress last this long is pretty good, I think. I've had more expensive mattresses that didn't last this long. I'm sure it'll last some folks even longer. Make sure that you've got it on a solid base because it is pretty heavy, and if it's on slats, make sure they aren't more than about 3" apart to help keep the mattress in good shape over the long-term.Ultimately, if nothing has changed with the mattresses, I feel confident in saying that this is a good quality, well-made mattress that's worth the money. The price is gone up by about ~$250 since I bought it on sale, but I think it's a good deal even at its current price. There's no need to be on the fence. If you're considering purchasing this mattress, it'll serve you well. Just be mindful of the size, weight, density/firmness, and how to care for it.

I've had a few surgeries and will probably still need a few more. Some I've had to have. Those being my back, shoulders,my thoracic spine due to an extremely rare Thoracic Spinal Dural Fistula which was taking me out big time and quickly. My neck is toast, have R.S.D. , migraines, and can have seizures and continue to have dysfunction of my autonomic nervous system which causes a lot of fun as you can imagine. With this comes many fun things which keeps me quite busy, lol. Even though one pushes through the pain which can feel unbearable at times. No matter, we all have to sleep at some point. It seems this is where the challenge begins. I mentioned this only for this and hopefully to help others in reading this review. Pain is part of living. I embrace both. My view is as long as I feel pain I'm still kickin it and feel truly grateful for both. Again I only mentioned this to get to the point of my review of this bed. I've tried many things to sleep on some intentional and some not, lol. Soft beds,firm beds, futons, single size up to Cal King with and without foam. The last three beds I've slept on as I would try all of them at various times in various rooms of my home. With my last purchase going against my common sense, I bought a plush, which set me back $1,400 what a waste. My doctor gave me a prescription that a rep from this Co. was seeking approval through my Insurance which cost $22,000 a month to fill. I don't know maybe it was just me but I just felt that was a bit steep for a few hours of sleep.You could say it was the combination of the lack of and quality of sleep, the pain in my joints while laying in bed and after waking up in the a.m. and feeling like I was 35 yrs. pay my age and that the pain would continue into my day, that said I thought this bed is winning the battle against me and I should just try again to check out and hopefully get a better bed.I did say better, I didn't say more expensive. I wanted to emphasize the price the price I paid for this bed. I have to say I went out and started researching everything on Amazon and also other companies reading the reviews and I kept coming back to this bed. Seriously the price, or lack of price gave me hesitation but for some reason the bed did not.After getting burned for 1400 bucks I just thought what did I have to lose as the reviews were great. As I seem to find with all reviews, it doesn't matter what product a laptop etc. some people seem like they don't like anything, that's their right and they have the right to their opinion. Now to finally get to the point of this. I ordered the king size bed and the mattress cover. Go figure, by adding the mattress cover it brought the price down an extra 80 dollars below the cost of the bed alone without the cover but including the cover.I dunno...It made the decision even easier to buy it. I found the price unbelievable and bought it. Once delivered, I rolled it out let it sit for day and a half made the bed and was anxious to see what would happen latter that night.All I could tell say is soon as I got under the to cover as I didn't get under the sheet. I zonked out and slept for 10 hours straight, without waking that night.I'm not lying, I swear to God.I love the heck out of this bed,man the price is unreal and it's just an awesome bed at least for me. So all I can tell you is if you go to bed sore wake up worse feeling like you're 110 and wake up during the night because of pain, toss and turn wake up frequently and you want all that to end try this bed.I did and it's the best money I've ever spent honestly, I'd sign a sworn affidavit. I also wanted to state that I've never heard of this company before I started doing research on Amazon. I didn't get paid for this review nor did I get a discount of any sorts, incentives or any thing kickback.I paid full price minus huge savings after adding an extra $27 for the cover which save me another 80 bucks including the cover which I still don't understand that but. Again I strongly reiterate that I've never, ever heard of this company before I researched beds on Amazon. I took chance after reading all of the many reviews and many beds and I'm now sleeping on the best bed I've had. I can honestly say I have no regrets and I've just been so madly impressed by this bed.I was amazed at how truly horrible what I thought were good beds. They had caused my body so much grief and pain. All I can honestly say for me it was truly like a light switch and that's no BS. The beds I've been sleeping on were causing me to only get a few hours of sleep. Not to mention the poor quality of sleep I was getting. Also much of the pain at night and carrying over into the day ( what a vicious cycle) was due to having such a pathetic bed that I paid so much more for. Please don't start charging more for the bed. As I'd feel bad maybe that my review had some reflection and caused the price to increase. All of these opinions are mine,of my free will and it's the way I honestly feel.No one contacted me nor asked me to review this. I waited many months to add my review of this bed so I could honestly try and provide my sole and honest opinion. Again the information I put in this review was personal and was only given/said/provided to give insight into possibly trying to help others with respect to purchasing this bed in hope that others might experience some benefit from this bed as I have.I made this review after careful consideration and time waiting what I felt was a reasonable amount of time so as to provide many months of sleep and use of this product so as I felt that I could actually give it a reasonable and accurate assessment. Hopefully it will help others. I tossed the $1,400 bed and was glad to do so. Speaking only for myself in my opinion this bed has been incredible,at least for me.

That said please consider if you are a person who sleeps ONLY on your bed you may eventually see it not hold as well you may want a small foam layer on top but it's fantastic none the less. Anyone lighter than 600lbs will gladly feel comfortable on such a firm bed!Not sure about people in a "Healthy" weight like 140-200-ish range it may be a bit TOO firm but my nephew who visits said it was comfortable to take a nap on while I carried on in the game without him so it should work.It's soft, foam, comfortable, Takes me rolling out of bed and holds it's shape. It is a memory foam bed so just in case you spill drinks or have accidents I would like any other foam like this suggest you get a waterproof cover and yes changes those the plastic liners rot. I had one a few years back I got because I just wanted to be safe and when I went to dispose of it and try to salvage the liner I was met with flakes of plastic ALL OVER the mattress. Do not do it!
