12" Spa Sensations Theratouch Memory Foam Mattress

My wife loves it. That was the goal so I love it too.

I read many reviews before deciding to purchase this mattress and have owned it for about a month.

Below are my comments:
- the smell goes away about after approx 10 days
- it takes approx 3 days for the bed to expand to it's full shape
- for those who said the bed is too firm, I do not want to insult their intelligence, but the mattress may be upside down. If you follow the instructions verbatim, the mattress will be upside down and you MUST flip it to get the "foam" on top
- I was able to open the mattress from the packing box by myself and flip it, but it was difficult, I would recommend two people for this job
- the king size bed was a perfect fit for my bedroom set
- my parents used my bed (while I was away on a trip) and my Mom said she loved it because it was firm and my Dad thought it was okay, but he prefers softer mattresses

Hope this helps. Good luck.

This mattress never seemed to want to expand on the corners and at the ends. It expanded to 9" in the center and 7.5" on the sides and ends and this mattress was to be 12". No way is this mattress what was advertised.

I read the reviews and had high hopes, we’ve been sleeping on the adjustable bed for two years. You know, the one with air, we tried and tried but could never find a number we liked. Slept on this bed for almost a week to see if we were going to like it before posting. I have to tell you "it's the best night’s sleep I've gotten in years!” Love it!

Now my husband says he wakes up and his back does not hurt - before we had a pillow top that was too soft and compressed. I sleep better because do not feel him moving. Overall, firm but comfortable.

The king comes in a box 42.52" x 22.99" x 22.01" and official weight is 128 lbs and I don't think the weight was exagerated!
I was pleasantly surprized that it would easily fit in my 2006 Prius hatchback. I thought I would be able to handle it while in the box better than I could by myself. It definitely a 2 adult job to handle. The box says team lift so Walmart does its job warning you!
Inside the box the mattress is compressed, folded and rolled into and about the size/shape of a standard round trashcan. There is a tarp type bag with a drawstring that you need to cut away which is a shame, the bag is nice enough it could be useful for lots of other things, but not cutting it would be just to awkward to be worth it. It was double boxed for shipping but I saw no markings on which end to open so of course I opened the wrong one!
There was a cut in the outer box near one of the corners. Don't know if it happened in shipping or warehouse but the second box was there and near a corner of a box with rolled/round cargo it would have had to be a VERY deep cut to damage the mattress, fortunately on ours didn't even make it to inner box. Once the plastic bag was cut, it immediately started to fill with air. Be warned it gets to be even harder to move once it goes from about 3.5 inches thick to 12" but once fully decompressed does offer some rigidity for moving.
Within an hour it was approx. 12" all the way around though the box had a warning may need 48 hours to fully "fill".
It is definitely a firm feel. The foam does give some, not as much as I had hoped for which is why it only got 4 stars on meets expectation. My wife and I do find it comfortable enough as is. Those who find it too firm would be better advised to add a Spa Sensations 1.5" Memory Foam Mattress-Topper which I'm sure is lighter foam and will give more. We have a similar topper for our old mattress and if we find this too firm will add it. That will be much easier than trying to return this thing! Even adding the topper it's still a great deal.
My one complaint is the same as an earlier post, it would be nice to have some kind of notice to warrantee. Foam life expectancy varies based on quality and I'm hoping to be happy with this for more than 10years but at this price I can replace it every 5 if needed and still beat the name brand price.

I bought this mattress about 2 months ago after shopping around for about a month. We ultimately went with this mattress mainly because of the value and the positive reviews on this site. I'd like to offer my experience on several of the issues that have been mentioned in other reviews.

1) Shipping - The mattress arrived in about a week and a half. I used the new "Site to store" service that Walmart offers and saved $80 on the shipping. Excellent.

2) Smell- others have commented on the odor of the mattress when it arrived... I found it to be neither strong nor offensive. I didn't bother to air it out and it was fine.

3) Heat build-up - Some reviewers have commented that the mattress stores heat more than a normal mattress. We have not experienced this; it seems the same as a normal mattress... no more, no less.

4) Firmness - many people have commented on the firmness of this mattress. I'll have to say, this is a firm mattress. My wife and I both have back problems, and we have always slept on a firm mattress. This mattress is firm even by our standards. We both get an excellent night's sleep however. Our previous mattress was a Sealy Posturpedic firm mattress. I used to wake up each morning feeling like I'd been run-over by a Mack truck. No more.

Overall, we are very pleased with this mattress. Very good value. If I were to change anything about it, it would be to make it a little less firm.

I have a Select Comfort Bed ($5000), and wake up hurting every morning. My wife loves it, but I still have the same problems with it as I do a regular mattress and boxsprings. SO, I looked around , and not wanting to spend another small fortune on something that may not help, I bought this mattress. Now I wake up not hurting, and it wasnt a big pain for my wallet either. The memory foam disperses your weight out, so you're not putting so much pressure on specific parts of your body causing them pain. And since the memory foam regains its shape, its like sleeping on a new mattress every night. Its a great mattress for a great price.

Me and my husband used to wake up with aching back. We changed our mattress twice already but our backaches persist. Then for the third time of shopping around for a mattress, I stumble around this mattress offered in Walmart. read all the reviews and after thinking for days about it, I finally ordered one from Walmart.

We loved this mattress! The backaches our gone. Although there was this "chemical smell" during the first week, it eventually dissapeared. We always wake up refresh and feel rested. I will definitely reccomend this.
