An Amazing Mattress For This Price Range.
This Mattress is Amazing. I only purchase pillowtop Mattresses- they work best for me, it is like sleeping on a cloud yet not too soft where your back hurts. Walmart does it right -free shipping, the mattress arrived via Mighty FedEx. I opened the box

Smells like death! Reading the reviews I was expecting a chemical smell but 2 days after opening it smells so strongly of decomposition my husband is wondering if there is a dead rat sewn into this mattress. Structurally, I wasn't expecting much for under $200 but it bows down in the center making stomach sleeping difficult for me (140lbs). I'd pass on this one if I were you.

    Good buy but firm
    Definitely convenient having it delivered to your own home. Easy enough for me to carry up the stairs myself. I was disappointed with the pillow top. It's on the firm side. But for the price it's great and convenient.

    I did not open the mattress package yet, but we could already see a bedbug...I mean, this one was quite easy to identify, but what about others that could be inside? The package is vacuum sealed but I've been researching and these bugs can survive in pretty much any scenario (if there's any remaining oxygen inside the mattress itself for example, they could survive for quite some time), so I'm buying a mattress case, and will steam it, just in case there's anything alive in there...Besides that, there was a delay but Walmart gave a discount (as the delay was caused by FedEx) which was pretty cool, but opening the box and staring at a bedbug just like this, was pretty disappointing

    Mattresses aren't made like years ago.
    The top of the mattress is firm. The surrounding meaning the edges of the mattress and the sides does not fill up completely. There are areas where there is a dent and extra material just hanging. The mattress has been set up now for 5 days and still the same results. When and if you sit anywhere on the edges or middle of the mattress, it sinks, period and I am not a heavy person I only weigh 165lbs. See photos.

    Soft mattress, but I feel somewhat uncomfortable
    The mattress is soft , however it has a dip on the side of it now. I've only had it two weeks and one week of actually sleeping on it. If feels like I will fall out of my bed.

    I expected a bit more.
    Well, my initial feeling about this mattress after a nap and last nites sleep is its just Ok. It IS a bit soft for my liking. The edges are really sloppy and have little if any support. The comfort of lying on it is well below my old Beautyrest individual coil mattress. I do need to remind my self that this is a $240 mattress. I will keep it. I did need a new mattress after 10 solid years with that Beautyrest. Would I buy this mattress again? No. But for now it will do.

    ok mattress for the price
    I bought this as a replacement for my old mattress at camp. The pillow top portion of the mattress is very baggy and loose fitting (even after sitting on the box spring for 3 days), I'm not sure if this has anything to do with being shipped rolled up in a box. It has a very lumpy appearance. I hope that smooths out , you can see how lumpy it is even with all the blankets made over it.

    This is not a bed in a box
    Sooooooo per the description I was expecting a bed in a box, like the current ones on trend currently. This box is massive! I was unable to get it into my apartment on my own & had to seek help from my door staff. I'm so disappointed in the experience getting it into my unit that it surpasses any thoughts I have on the overal functionality.

    Best night sleep in a long time
    Who knew a full sized queen mattress could be delivered to your doorstep! It was extremely heavy. It was shrink wrapped and when unraveled it opened up to a full queen sized pillow top mattress. After 48 hours it was ready to be slept on. It's just the right softness for my liking. The pillow top really does its job. It's quiet and extremely comfortable. If I could change anything about this mattress it would be nothing it's perfect just like it is. I would definitly recommend this mattress to anyone looking for a comfort and a good night's sleep.

    Feels like a regular mattress!
    This mattress comes rolled up in a rather large heavy box. When you first take it out, it looks like a thin rolled up foam bed topper. It is wrapped in a thick plastic and once you start unrolling it from the plastic the air starts to inflate the mattress. Inside the heavy plastic there is a thin plastic cover that you will need to cut off. Once that thin plastic covering is off the mattress expands to full size and shape. I suggest either rolling it on top of your box spring or make sure you have enough room for it expand, it starts expanding fast and ends up being the size of a normal mattress. The set-up is less than 3 minutes. The instructions say to let 24-72 hours pass for full inflation. The mattress does not feel like an air mattress but rather a regular mattress. It is soft to the touch, yet firm enough that when you sit or sleep on it does not dip. I do not understand the technology of it, but it is like a real mattress and very comfortable. I have made a YouTube video on the unrolling process. You can find it here : https://youtu.be/5VC0FbP0ul4

    Amazing! Great buy for restful night of sleep!
    We received the Modern Sleep Galen Pillow Top Innerspring 10-inch mattress in queen size. It came rolled up in an air-tight bag rolled up in a rectangular box. It was not easy to carry in by myself, so it definitely requires two people to lift it. The process is pretty simple! Take the mattress out of the box, unroll the mattress from the outer bag, then cut open the packaging on the mattress! To allow the mattress to get it its maximum size, you have to let it lay flat for 24-72 hours, though. It is amazing what the mattress becomes after it is so compressed! I am definitely impressed! I have read a lot of reviews on the mattress and some complain about places where it gets ‘dips' in it, but so far we have not had any issues whatsoever! This is the nicest mattress we have ever gotten. I got it for my son after he upgraded from his twin to a queen, and it is such a comfortable mattress. It is firm, yet soft. The pillow top is just enough to keep you comfy all night long, while the innersprings continually give your body the support it needs! I read a lot of reviews that also say it is not so much a 10-inch mattress but rather a 9-inch. I really did not check because it is so nice! I have never bought a mattress that comes in a box, but this does not disappoint! The sew lines seem to be pretty seamless and I have had no issues with tearing as of yet, about two weeks in to having it. The manufacturer has a 10 year limited warranty against defects in workmanship and materials, of which the purchaser must pay shipping. In essence, I do recommend this mattress!

    Very nice Medium Firm mattress for a great price!
    I am writing this review for the queen sized Serena Pillow Top Innerspring 10-Inch Mattress. So we got a thousand dollar memory foam mattress about two years ago. At first I liked it, but over time began developing back problems from sleeping in it. It was two soft and was causing me lower back and hip pain. We decided to try this mattress. I was a little nervous because it was such a great price at a couple hundred for a queen size. But to my surprise this medium firm mattress is very comfortable and did the trick! my back and hips are feeling much better now after only a couple nights of use. No pain in the morning! So I highly recommend this mattress. It was easy to set up and took about 24 hours to fully reinflate to full size. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 star rating is that it does have a fairly strong, new product odor that took a couple days to air out. But it comes with instructions on how to speed that process up. I am very happy with this mattress. And you can't beat the price!
