Disappointed - not firm and not 8”

Mattress is supposed to be medium-firm but I think it’s quite soft which I don’t like. Directions state to let mattress rise 24-72 hours, after 72 hours mattress only got 7 3/4”.

This mattress is super comfortable for the price! It comes in great packaging and it’s nice that it comes sealed up to be condensed but it is a bit heavy. It seems to be good quality so far and I like the breathability, I don’t get too hot while I’m sleeping.

I received Sealy Dreamlife 8” Foam Mattress in exchange for my honest review.I honestly don’t feel that this mattress is all that comfortable unfortunately.I was really looking forward to trying this mattress out but it’s very firm and on the thinner side.I rated this 3 stars because there’s people that do prefer firmer mattresses.This is also very high quality in my opinion.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a new mattress. It comes extremely compact in a box and as it airs out it expands. Make sure you have enough space before opening the mattress. it’s on the firmer side of mattresses, but is really comfortable. 

Super comfy and form fitting to your body. It provides great support for your back and it’s pretty firm as well. It exceeded my expectations. It’s very light weight to lift up as well. Overall I really like this mattress.

I love the quality and durability of this mattress. I believe it gives a very great value for your money, mattresses in a box are so much more affordable. I love that the outside of the mattress is removable and washable for any stains that may happen. This mattress provides great back support but is a little bit too hard for my preferences. I also found that this mattress is very breathable as it kept me cool through the night.

I am so so grateful to have received this mattress! I haven’t changed my mattress for as long as I can remember and switching to this one made such a difference! So soft and great cushioning!

This was the comfiest box mattress I have ever slept on! Sealy never disappoints the support and durability of this mattress is top tier ! All my mattress from know on will be a sealy!

More Questions

Does it smell of chemicals? Does it make your body temperature rise due to the material of the mattress? Thanks for the answers.

Great value

Just what we needed for a college apartment. Easy to setup and transport. Feels super comfortable.

The comfiest and lightest mattress! It is soft but very sturdy. Extremely supportive and breathable. Sealy makes one of the best mattresses and worth the investment!

I have previously purchased two mattress-in-a-box mattresses and while I was doubtful at first, they consistently impress me. The compact format makes it easier to get a mattress delivered to you and placed where you want it prior to opening, which is a game changer if you live alone. This mattress expanded to full size pretty immediately but I did allow ~12 hours before putting fitted sheets onto the mattress. There is a smell that I have found to be common with mattresses of this type but it did dissipate significantly over the 12 hours I let it rest. The mattress itself was a little more firm than what I typically like and it did take a few nights of adjustment for me to get a comfortable night’s sleep with no back discomfort the next day. Overall, a really affordable, convenient mattress from a reliable brand. Just be careful if you do typically prefer a mattress that leans a little more toward the softer side of medium firmness.

Inflated and took full shape quickly after being removed from the box. Extremely soft and plush. Comfortable and decent to sleep on, but I wish it provided a bit more support to prevent sinkage when just trying to sit on it. Better for side and back sleepers as it's a bit too soft to comfortably sleep on your stomach.

It came packed in the box, so it was easy to handle the package and get inside the house. I even was not sure that the queen mattress can fit in such box, but everything was right. I usually don’t like the soft mattresses, and this one was supposed to be medium firm. And I found that it was comfortable and the level of firmness was good for me. It is a mattress with memory foam , so when you lay down the mattress absorbs the body a little bit and supports it. It’s also looks nice and got some pretty cover/

The mattress fully inflates when you remove it from the box. It is lightweight and extremely comfortable. The 8 inch size offers full support. It is firm but soft at the same time. It’s a great value for the money and I recommend it. It’s perfect!

I am so excited to receive this Sealy mattress. When you think of a "mattress-in-box" you don't necessarily think it will be,BETTER than your expensive brand! I'm switching today! So comfortable, great packaging, A++++++!!! I'd recommend and I have neck pain.

This mattress is comfortable but a little on the firm side so I added a topper to it. I was in need of a new mattress so this came at the perfect time..

This mattress is super comfort, the support helps my lower back. The durability is great for many years. I love how breathability it is. And the value is impressive. I had a queen size and I’m going get some rest during my sleep.

This mattress is so comfortable! It’s so Thick and supportive to my back. It’s a foam mattress and it’s really durable. It’s 8 inches thick and has made my sleep so much better

My sleep has been transformed!! This mattress is extremely comfortable, when I lay down it hugs me in all the right places lol, my husband moves around a lot and I can’t even feel it anymore so I no longer get woke up out of my sleep. The material is soft but sturdy and breathable. It was extremely easy to set up just get it out the box, remove the wrapper and that’s it, I am obsessed!! This mattress definitely changed my sleep for the better.
