Got the 12" in today and even though the box was almost ruined (well pretty much ruined - guessing Dreamfoam Bedding needs to use a slightly heavier box since the box was way to āweakā for the weight and Amazon.com didnāt repack it) after itās last stop at our local FedEx depot.
Still the bed and itās packing was 100% with no signs of damage so I went ahead and opened it up. So far itās awesome and Iād have to agree itās a bit more firm than the Cloud Supreme.
Once I get a few nights sleeping on it Iāll review more.
EDIT: Just got up from a nap (yeah, yeah I didnāt give it 24-48 hours) and it did wonders for my back and neck already. Canāt wait to test it out on a full nights sleep
After stressing for months I pulled the trigger yesterday on this mattress. Now I am stressing out about the foundation.
I read the thread on foundations but still not sure what to do. I am considering two local options that I can pickup. Can someone look at these and let me know if they will work? We have a king size bed frame that uses twin xl box springs/foundations that rest on slats.
Itās always a good idea to check with a manufacturer if you are in doubt about a foundation but I can at least tell you that the Serta foundation would be fine.
I would be a little cautious with and probably avoid the Ikea because they donāt list the specifics of the construction (how far apart the slats are) especially if they use a solid surface of cardboard on top which will affect the ventilation under your mattress (see post #10 here).
Any of the foundations or frames in the foundation post would also be fine.
Thanks for the help. I bought the serta today at Big Lots. Pretty good deal, they had it on sale for 150 for two twin xl foundations and then took another 20% off for storewide sale they were having. So I got the set 120. Now I am just waiting for the mattress to arrive. Hope this all works out!
Yeah this is just a bit more firm than the Tempur Pedic Cloud Supreme, but my wife and I loved the Cloud Supreme and are veyr happy with this one from Dreamfoam Bedding.
Only 10 years according to Chuck (when you e-mail them via Amazon itās always Chuck who replied) and thatās 5 year replacement and 5 year pro-rated. I am sure Phoenix can confirm this.
I donāt have a good gauge yet, but I am hoping for quite a long time But at the price if I had to replace it every 10 years it would still be cheaper Maybe Phoenix has a better idea?
No clue, we have ours on the bed and you donāt need a ābox springā but some kind of frame system.
thanks for the help. i tried to email and call - but think they may be closed today. i saw the dream luxe 13 in model was a 20 year warranty on the amazon page so i was hoping this would be too.
i checked their site and they dont have any mattress supports for sale.
maybe i could just get the Seally box spring from sams club?
im still thinking of getting this 12 in model over the luxe - but the lower warranty and lack of long term reviews has me a little worried. but your right - 10 years from now would still be a good deal.
I will be back hopefully this weekend for a full week+ review of the Ultimate Dreams Supreme Gel Memory Foam Mattress - 12" but just got home too late to really write a good review.
My new wife and I purchased a king-size Ultimate Dreams Supreme Gel Memory Foam Mattress just a few weeks ago after reading the first review in this post. We bought it on Amazon and it was shipped quickly with Prime since it is warehoused by Amazon, though the box came in almost falling off of the mattress. The mattress itself was stil sealed nice and tightly and once home and opened started to return to itās normal shape rather quickly and I couldntā tell if it was done or not within 10-15 minutes because it looked full sized to me.
We never noticed any odor at all coming from the mattress. We did note our King sized sheets (had a waterbed queen before, so that is what we were buying) look good, but the fitted sheet doesnāt fit around the bed anymore so we will need to look for something a bit bigger there.
As the previous refer has said it is much like the Tempurpedic Cloud Supreme, but a bit more firm which is exactly what we were looking for.
We both use to wake on and off during the night and when we would get up we would have aches and pains that werenāt there the night before and now we sleep through the night much better (fighting allergies, so that is why itās not a perfect night sleep) and wake up with only those pains you got from working too hard
I hope to see this be in our bedroom for years and years and have already recomended it to my father and in-laws.
I havenāt ever owned or really slept on a memory phone bed before and I had heard they can be a bit warm, but so far it feels much cooler than my old bed.
BTW Iām 5ā 11" 215lb and my wife is around 5ā 4" and 150ish range and we are both back/side (mostly side) sleepers.
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback ā¦ I appreciate it.
It sounds to me like you made a great choice both in terms of quality and value as well as the suitability of the mattress for your specific needs and preferences!
To me thatās the definition of a successful purchase
Same here. I am so very happy with our purchase and I even listed this forum on my review in Amazon.com so others might find this site while looking to purchase their bed online. Looks like Mike posted his review on Amazon as well.
Thanks for having this site/forum online for research and discussion!
Yes, itās odd that Dreamfoam doesnāt state on itās website the density of the 1.5" layer. Thanks for providing the info in this thread that the layer is 4lb.
I think 4lb foam is MattressUndergroundās recommended minimum to maintain decent durability. Iām considering the Dreamfoam 13" as well as the Dreamfoam 12". The 13" has 5lb in the comfort layer along with some 4lb. Does the 1.5" + 2.5" of 4lb foam create concern about the durability/longevity of the Dreamfoam 12"? Thanks.
This would depend on your body type and weight. 4 lb memory foam is not as durable as 5 lb memory foam (density is the single biggest factor in the durability of memory foam) but lower densities of memory foam are often (although not always) softer than higher density memory foam and for many people the āfeelā and softness is worth the tradeoff. Once you are in the 200 lb range or so or higher I would tend to be a little cautious with 4 lb memory foam and minimize or reduce the use of 4 lb memory foams if your budget allows it.
Very useful thread with some good info. My wife and I are just about to order the 13" as well. We preferred the cloud supreme in store, but would rather shoot for a bed that falls between the supreme and luxe rather than one that is any firmer so we are going to take the chance on the 13" version. This will be our first memory foam mattress so hope it goes well.
Iām going to gamble a little and order direct from Dreamfoam instead of Amazon. Unfortunately Texas recently changed to start taxing Amazon purchases so that with the free pillow will save us about $100 so I hope it works out.
For those of you who did end up getting the pillow bonus were you able to choose between the memory foam or latex version? BTW, is it for one or two pillows?
