Amazon Basics Gel Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress, Medium Feel Motion Isolation Springs, 12 inch, Twin XL, White / Gray

We had a "High End" mattress that we paid over $4k for and after a little over a year, we are thouroughly dissatisfied with it and feel like we made a mistake. We bought one of these in a queen size for our camper and were a bit startled by how good it really felt. After months of trying to get the "high end" company to work with us to replace or refund our original matress, we gave up and just bought one of these. We have been sleeping so well since we started sleeping on it. It only took about 2 hours for it to fully expand and it just does what it should-provide good support that is not too firm. For the price, we cannot complein about anything and felt like we got a product that is worth twice the price. You cannot put a price on sleep quality and suffering with poor quality of sleep was what drove us to pay so much for our original mattress choice. This mattress just makes us feel silly about that decision. Kudos!!

There are a lot of things I like about this mattress. For one, it didn't stink up the entire house with god knows what offgasses from synthetic materials. I left it with the bag open on one of the long edges and it didn't smell at all within a few days. The bed frame I built out of 2x4s is all I smell, and that's just regular lumber smell.It's comfortable enough. I'm not blown away, but it's fine. It could be a little more supportive, maybe with a thicker layer of slightly stiffer memory foam. I find that you can't lie too far to either side or you'll feel like you're about to roll off.One of my favorite parts is that it's made in the USA, gawd bless. At this price point I was fully expecting it to be made halfway across the world. Nope! That means less energy used for shipping and (hopefully) more stringent environmental standards at the factory. (Remember, big corporations are the core of the problem, but supporting more sustainable manufacturers is slightly better than nothing.)I found mine (a twin XL) to be about 2 inches short of the standard 80" long. Not the end of the world, but kind of strange.

Now I would have put a 5 star but the driver place it at the wrong apartment number, thankfully my neighbours are honest and dropped it at my place.Now for the review!! THIS IS PERFECT FOR STUDENTS! I'm a student who likes a firm bed. Thankful for the previous reviews because they've all mentioned it was medium firm, it felt more like a firm bed which I love! Worth the price, and worth the wait. It's honestly perfect! For all students who looking for a mattress I suggest you buy this.

Comfort

I wish I could have gotten a longer size

Bought two of these mattresses and like them very much. So I bought one more. Very comfortable.

Nice thick mattress

First update (July 2020) I'm now a month in and I'm still very happy with this mattress. It is very comfortable, my quality of sleep has improved and I have way less back and shoulder pain. Only thing I've been looking into is a cooling gel infused mattress topper because it's now the dead of summer and uncomfortably warm even at night.I bought this and it arrived at my doorstep within 5 days. Very convenient. Packaged neatly, compressed and delivered by UPS. Total came out to $358.37 which is cheap for a bed, I was questioning the quality but decided to go for it because Amazon's return policies are decent.I ordered this mattress, along with the ZINUS Arnav Modern Studio 10 Inch Platform 2000 Metal Bed Frame (which I also reviewed so it is now available on my profile), after the old mattress I’ve had since high school developed a crater so deep it was visible even when no one was on the bed. Even the box spring was flattened in the center so I decided I needed a whole new setup. I personally spent hours reviewing various mattresses, weighing pros and cons of memory foam vs. spring vs hybrids. I decided on this hybrid mattress from AmazonBasics because I trust the brand a bit more than some of the unfamiliar online-only ones, and I chose hybrid because before this I had a pillow top spring mattress so I wasn’t sure I’d like a 100% foam bed. This mattress is firm without being too hard, it’s comfortable and the motion isolation claims are true, especially for a couple like myself and my spouse who previously had a spring mattress and felt every movement. It is nice being able to turn over without waking each other. The price is very good for the quality and honestly I’d recommend purchasing this bed, I don’t feel like this mattress will have any issues with indenting. However I will be back to update my review especially if anything goes wrong. Also I’d recommend purchasing a mattress protector, I have one on the way. The foam seems like it’d be absorbent and I’d rather not damage it with accidental spills.I think I made a good choice. Overall the process was easy, unbox and unwrap the mattress on the frame or wherever you choose to keep it because it’s easier that way. Personally I think my mattress was full after about 2 hours or so, we slept on it that night with no problems. I ordered the 12 inch / queen version so it’s definitely higher up than I’m used to, but I enjoy how much easier it is to get in and out of bed with the height.I’m comfortable, I slept well, no weird aches or pains, but with the shape that my last mattress was in, anything is an improvement. I fully believe I made a good choice with this bed, as comfortable and well made as it appears. I am a guy in my early 20s though so there was no struggle for me to pick up the box and since it was delivered to my doorstep I just had to drag it down the hallway to my room, where I eagerly tore open packaging like a child on Christmas day, only for this thing to spring open and the impact was like an air-bag. Don’t open it the way I did - watch a video on opening them and for best results, lay it in your bed frame before opening it.TL;DR Freshly ordered and set up, so far so good. No noxious odors, no issues with quality or damage, very comfortable. Will be back to update as time progresses. First night of sleep went really well.
