Ameriwood Industries Signature 13" Signature Sleep in Full Size

I bought this mattress (FULL SIZE) to replace a crappy super compressed futon mattress that my husband and then in turn, I have been sleeping on for the better part of 6 years. That being said, I feel that this mattress is more plush and softer than most mattresses I have tested.I've had this mattress for almost a month and after the initial 48 hour decompression phase, it has been a real pleasure to sleep on.It comes rolled and vacuum sealed in a tube taped firmly. Once you puncture the inner bag that keeps the mattress compressed, the inflation happens just like a can of biscuits. It spreads out fairly quickly. I sensed a slight chemical smell that I was confident that a few days airing out and a couple of febreezes could handle. I burn incense daily so that helps also. But it was not the "HORRENDOUS STINK OMG" that a small percentage of reviews have blathered on about. I had to smash my face right on to the mattress to get that "OMG awful" chemical smell. FYI, all mattresses...ALL MATTRESSES stink of chemicals at first. Until your body/house smells pervade it for a bit. So get over yourself. It's the "new car smell" of a mattress, and nobody complains about that eh?Back to the details.1- If you can let this mattress decompress for the full 48 hours (or even a day longer IMO) it is worth it. I did not do this as I had no extra room to put my old mattress. I felt like my hips were sinking into a hole the first two nights. I had a bit of buyers remorse initially due to this. But after this period of time, the mattress finished expanding and it has been awesome ever since.2- It is on the firmer side of soft. Softer than a crappy futon, but not as soft as a super plush pillow top. The memory foam is a nice touch. But for someone whom is a side sleeper and a toss and turner, would have been just as happy with a normal foam pillow topper. But I'm not going to complain for $260. For that price this mattress is a steal.3- At 13", it's worth checking into "deep pocket" fitted sheets. Otherwise, if you're a restless sleeper like me, your standard fitted sheets are going to pop off the corners in the middle of the night. Target makes a great inexpensive deep pocket fitted sheet sold separately. You might have to order it online though.4- The actual mattress fabric itself it not shiny satin...which is fantastic. This is another reason why my sheets constantly used to slipped off on previous mattresses. It's a soft touch bamboo fiber mix fabric. Which means, if you're in a clean sheet predicament for whatever reason and need to sleep directly on the mattress without...it's not going to be that huge of a deal.5- It's not the full length of a "full" mattress. That part of other reviews is the truth. My mattress has fully inflated to about 1" or so less than the length of a true full size. But, I'm 5'3" and so that really doesn't matter that much to me. Just thought I'd put that in there.6- I found that, as a side sleeper, the thing that I was always having problems with was the fact that my arms would fall asleep and my hips would wake me up with pain. Normal trappings of a side sleeper. With this mattress, I have not had this problem at all since the inflation period completed. My lower back ached initially while my body was getting used to a new mattress with better support placement. But I find that I sleep longer on each side before I get restless, wake and reposition.I have rec'd this mattress to several friends.Word to the wise, if you value your relationship with your FedEX delivery guy...give him a heads up if you order this mattress. Fed Ex is the drop ship for Signature Sleep. These mattresses are not light. They are full innerspring mattresses that have been super vacuum compressed. However, they're still weighing in at the same weight as a normal mattress. I'm not a weakling by any stretch, I'm able to lift over 60+ pounds up steps with said weight and I had to have my husband help me get this up 8 steps and into the bedroom on a dolly. Once in the bedroom though I was able to muscle it up on my frame and unpack it.So...this mattress is a great deal. Great price, comfy and is shipped right to your door.

First of all, all the kudos in the world to the UPS delivery person(s) that dropped this off at my door. I'm hoping that it was two really big and really strong guys, because the monstrous duffle bag this mattress came in was extremely heavy (even for me, and yes, even though I'm a girl I can lift 80 lbs no problem. I had a lot of difficulty just dragging this thing.) and they were good enough to bring it up the few steps to my porch without me ever even hearing them.Opening this beast is absolutely AWESOME. It's like the coolest present you'll ever open, because in your mind you can't possibly fathom how a 13" full size mattress can FIT in this giant duffle bag of doom. Using a box cutter I very carefully began to operate, slicing away three tightly-bound layers of bag, thick plastic, and finally sealing plastic. Upon the first cut into the last layer of plastic, all the air suddenly rushed back into the mattress (it comes incredibly vacuum sealed; think of the process like those space saver bags you shove giant blankets into and can vacuum down to 1/8th of an inch. They do that to this mattress.) and in about 20 seconds it was fully inflated. The directions with it say to let it sit and inflate for about 48 hours, so I ended up opening it before work and when I returned around 5 hours later I threw sheets and blankets over it and slept incredibly the whole night through.I took a major gamble buying something like a mattress online, but I was crunched for time since the double-sized queen air mattress I had been sleeping on had sprung a leak, and I was only borrowing another, single-layered twin mattress to sleep on until I could get something permanent to sleep on. Though extremely heavy, this mattress turned out to be perfect. I caution people looking to buy this as the mattress is VERY firm. It's comfortable, but if you're going from something super-soft to something super-firm like I have, make sure you're ready for it with a foam topper or something as your back might hurt the first few nights.For $298 and free shipping, this couldn't be beat. I read the horror stories about shipping that were already on here, and let me just say my bed arrived a day earlier than expected, and they wasted no time getting it on the truck and getting it to my door. I was really impressed with it.UPDATE: Today is September 12th, 2015 and I felt as though I owed it to this product to come back and give another two cents. Almost 3 years later and I still adore this mattress, still sleep fantastic on it, and still endorse it entirely. It's followed me through 3 apartments and this is the longest I've ever actually owned a mattress without it dipping or hurting my back. Still a charm, still worth every single penny!

I love this mattress. LOVE. When I travel for work, I actually dream about coming home to this guy. It's firm enough that after months of use and sleeping mostly on one side, there's no dent. It's soft enough that it molds to my body like a pillow. And it's quiet! No squeaky springs or groans every time you move.It shipped right to my apartment, rolled up and vacuum sealed. It was light enough for a weakling like me to roll it upstairs on a dolly. And it inflated in less than 24 hours. This was so much easier than trying to cart my old mattress from my last apartment.No need for box springs, this mattress sits right on the bed frame. It is deeper than normal, so remember that when buying sheets. My boyfriend does complain that it holds heat more than he likes, but I think he's full of hot air and I've never noticed this issue.
