Linenspa 8 Inch Memory Foam and Spring Hybrid Mattress - Medium Firm Feel - Bed in a Box

I now have two of these in my home for my two children... I bought my first in September of 2018 to replace an old mattress for my daughter... it was great, and my daughter loved the mattress... no issues at all with the mattress... my son needed a new mattress too, so I was about to order a 2nd one in February 2019 when I noticed numerous reviews (many recent) citing reports of bedbugs. Now let me clarify my experience here... I work in the hospitality business and maintain dormitories for military training students that are on a constant rotation, much like a hotel. We are all trained to spot, look for and deal with bed bugs should ever the problem arise... bed bugs have nothing to do with personal hygene or cleanliness, they can infest anything from the sleaziest no-tell motel to the fanciest 5-star Hyatt Regency. Also, bed bugs don't limit themselves to beds, they will travel and hide on/in anything... clothes, shoes, carpets, suitcases, curtains, laptops, alarm clocks, a book... bed bugs aren't picky. For those reviewers that say they got bedbugs... if you think it came from the mattress and you just tossed it out, problem solved... YOU STILL HAVE BEDBUGS because your house is now infested (or previously was and you just now noticed). Now back to these Linenspa mattresses... I LOVE THESE THINGS... they're very comfortable and affordable... both my kids love them. I had already purchased one back in 2018 and never had any issues, and as someone who can spot those little devils, our house is free of them. When I ordered my 2nd mattress (after reading the negative bug reviews) I went ahead and took the added precaution... and you should too... if you're ever worried about something like this... INSPECT AND OPEN THE MATTRESS OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE! I just laid a bedsheet in the driveway, opened the box, inspected the vacuum-sealed wrap... saw nothing... opened it up on the sheet on my driveway (to keep it clean of course) and fully inspected this sucker everywhere... nope... no bugs, no smells... just a nice clean beautiful mattress. Carried it inside, no issues, son happy... If you actually do have one that is infested like some people claim, and you opened it inside and slept on it... ya... your whole house is now infested (and possibly was before you bought a new mattress). I just want to make it clear that as someone who works in the hospitality business and is trained in spotting and dealing with those little devils long before it becomes a problem... I've bought two of these mattresses from this company and never had an issue with bugs or smells... and if I need a third or fourth mattress, i would buy another... but if you ever suspect or worry about something like this from this company, or ANY company... just open it outside on a clean sheet and inspect thoroughly before you bring it in.... that way if there is a problem, you don't risk letting them into your home.

Absolutely love it! Unlike most people that have written reviews on this, I bought it to be my bed, not for a guest room or bunk-bed, etc.. I was looking for something that didn't take up much room (currently renting one room in a house) and could be rolled up or stood up during the day to provide more space. I needed it firm but not stiff (60+ male, 200 lbs with a few chronic med issues), since it would be laying on a piece of carpet on a wood floor (no frame). It has more than met my expectations so far. I can't wait to go back to bed later :-). It came vacuum-sealed and rolled up, encased in a thicker (4-5 mil?), "tube" of plastic inside a good-quality, thick cardboard box. Carefully cut the thicker plastic (too tight to slip off) tube off (use scissors if you want to be sure not to slip and cut into the mattress) with a box cutter and cut off the plastic "bag". No big release of chemical vapors like others I've dealt with in the past. I was very surprised how low (almost non-existent) the odor was. Had to get really close to the mattress to notice it. It expanded pretty fast to the full 5" and I let it lay on the living room floor overnight and into the next day to air out (instructions say it can take up to 48 hours to fully expand but mine took less than an hour). Next day I replaced my bed-roll (2" mattress topper with a couple pads for easy roll-up and stashing out of the way) with this mattress and tested it out. Super comfortable for me. It is firm (some would say very firm) but for me it has just enough give and provides great support). For a lighter person, it may be too firm depending on your taste. It's too thick to roll up like my make-shift bed roll but it will stand up in an area out of the way. I'll take that trade-off of a better sleep vs a bit more room any day. For those who want a softer feel, get a mattress topper for $20-$35. A topper of 1" - 3" will provide the softness and "give" that many like. It can then be removed for those who like a firm to very firm feel like I do. In any case, I was just going to lay on it for a while to read and check comfort level but ended up falling asleep before I had even put the sheets on. Got a great nap. Hadn't slept that well in months. Can't wait to try a full night of testing tonight :-))). Your mileage may vary. Sleep comfort is a very individual thing but for me and my needs, this mattress is a great fit. Hope it works as well for you. Read more
