Olee Sleep Memory Foam 13 Inch Plush Galaxy Euro Box Top Spring Mattress

First off, yes it is vacuum packed (very cool) and comes in a box that is quite heavy. That being said my box was not destroyed but was quite distressed upon delivery which I was not surprised about due to the weight of it.Ok, now that's out of the way I have had this for a few weeks now. I have a drawer base with king size box spring (2 smaller put together) and even though my box springs are in very good shape I decided I would put some plywood over the top of them to give this mattress a fair shot since I was quite nervous about ordering a "bed in a box". I saw a lot of reviews on this from various sites and overall people seemed happy that they invested in it and between that and the great price I decided it was worth the risk. I have not slept through the night in months and wake up early even on the weekends so I was desperate to find something that could help me.I put the mattress on the frame before I left for work the day after receiving it. Though it suggests letting it sit for up to 48 hours mine sat only for about 10 hours or so. Just to be safe I didn't put any sheets on it during the day while it decompressed and set up a fan to blow on it to hopefully take away any smell that some had mentioned they noticed.Upon going to bed the first night I was happy to find no smell from the bed so I am not sure if my fan idea worked or not but I am happy to take credit for it. Now laying on the bed was a shock to my system. My old mattress was very comfy to me but obviously after losing about 100 pounds was not what was best for me anymore. This new mattress was very firm and the first night was a little difficult to sleep. I had another brainstorm and remembered I had one of those expensive, high quality bamboo fabric toppers that adds some cushion (2-3 inches) to the bed so I thought as long as I had it that I may as well try it. The second night was better, maybe due to being exhausted or for putting the topper on but again I will take credit for the topper idea and say that is what did it. For the first couple of weeks I slept a little better than I had on the old mattress. All of a sudden though it was like the mattress was perfect like it was everything that I needed. I now am sleeping like a baby and for the first time in probably over a year I have actually slept in on the weekend. I still use the topper but I have to say I don't have the pains in the morning when I get up and though I do wake up off an on some nights, my sleep is more restful and I fall back into sleep much easier than I have in quite a while.My experience so far has been very good with this mattress and I have to say that I looked for over a month at mattresses going to several stores and laying on a lot of different mattresses. Problem I had is that I didn't know how many people had laid on that mattress in the store and how it had affected it so even though it may seem good in the store I was unsure that the new one would feel the same. I found that a lot of people had that exact issue and then when they tried to return the mattress they purchased they were bullied and had to pay extra fees and charges and the hassles they went through in some cases were horrific.I paid over $1500 for my last mattress which only lasted maybe 5 years. I vowed to never do that again. If I can get at least that much time from this mattress I feel that this is a much better investment and would be inclined to purchase another. Heck at this rate I would be happy with 3 or 4 years out of it.This is not one of the all memory foam type mattress that you sink into and then need a crane to get out of just to roll over. It is not like a spring mattress that bounces you into your next position when you roll over either. It has a softer cover on it and at least in my experience is quite firm but supportive.I mainly sleep on my stomach and sometimes on my side and this mattress looks to be what I needed. I am 6'3" tall and around 265#.It is advertised as 13 inches but I have found it to this point to be closer to 12 inches.I do recommend that if you get it that you do either have help or a dolly/cart to move it especially with the king size as it is quite heavy.As of right now, though I have only had it about a month I feel that this was a very good investment especially compared to the last mattress I purchased.I did purchase this from Amazon and I did not receive any kind of incentive or discount to review this mattress they are my honest thoughts and opinions.This review is for the Olee Sleep 13 Inch Box Top Hybrid Gel Infused mattress King SizeFOLLOW UP: Ok, been over 3 years now. I have to say I am still very happy I got this mattress.I spin it about every 6 months and it seems to give the same support it did when new or at least very close to the same. Still sleeping well and very happy I gave it a try. I told my Dad about it and now he wants one, only they don't seem to come in twin size. I can see that when it does come time to retire this mattress I will indeed get another one. For the cost compared to a store bought mattress you can't go wrong.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this mattress. We've had it for almost a week, and the lower back pain I was experiencing due to my desk job, doesn't really exist anymore.Background: I'm about 200lbs, my wife is about 140lbs. I'm a very light sleeper and our old spring mattress was very boucy and, now, looking back on it, didn't support us very well. We're young, (late 20's) but have each had our share of bodily injuries. I had been seeing a chiropractor probably 3 times a year for the last 8 years from sports. I just started working a job at a desk for 8 hrs a day and my lower back/hips were killing me! I couldn't hardly make it through the day. Then when I got home, I wanted to stand or lay.I started shopping around for mattresses, I went to a mattress ware house in the mall and layed on a few. I came to the consensus that I didn't want an inner spring anymore, but that I was skeptical about all out memory foam mattresses as well. [enter hybrid mattress, wow] I layed on one and thought, "oh wow, this has support, comfort, I could get used to this." Then I rolled off, looked at the price tag, and never came back to the store. I couldn't afford a $900 mattress and then another 200-300 dollars for frame box spring!Online shopping: I looked into Casper, Purple, lull, etc, etc, and they are somewhat affordable, but still. We just had a baby and bought a house, I couldn't possibly justify spending more than $500 for the whole set up. So I came to amazon, and started reading reviews of various mattresses. Honestly, the reviews that sold me on this one were the "negative" ones. They claimed the mattress was more supportive and firmer than expected. What a nice thing to say. That's just what I was looking for.The mattress, zinus '14 platform, mattress protective cover, king sized sheets, all came in at a total of $405. Steal of a deal. It shipped MUCH quicker than expected. Came in 6 days. Box was about the size of a skinny dishwasher. I hoisted it up the stairs, and began the switch. I took apart our old set up, put together the platform, and unboxed and un covered the mattress and let it inflate all in about 25 mins. (quite the workout) The odor every mentioned was faint, but present. It's gone now and I didn't notice it after 24 hrs.I would say that the mattress provides all the right support to areas that I need it, and gives and sinks on all the curves of our bodies that we would like it to. The memory foam is pretty responsive, the mattress has noticeable bounce compared to a full on memory foam mattress. It's a happy medium. I love it so far, I would recommend it to anyone who can relate to the above mentioned. I only gave it 4 stars because I a reserving judgement for 6 months from now. Please don't disappoint, Olee!
