First of all, thank you for your blog and your book! I am late to the game at age 50 but am on the road to making drastic changes, hoping to make up for lost time (and sadly money). Wish you would have been around 30 years ago! I see that this mattress is CertiPUR-US certified, the minimum requirement for non-toxic mattresses. I know you are both very health conscious and just wondered if you had experienced any issues or had any concerns with chemicals/emissions with this mattress now that it’s been in your home for a few years. Thanks for your help!

just found your blog last week and i’m absolutely loving it. i just bought the same mattress in January and love it, the amazing price especially. I was horrified by mattress store prices too… glad to see your long term review that it has held up for you guys.

College kid love this mattress in Twin XL! His dorm mattress was horrible so we bought the Lucid Memory Foam 8″ for $89. It came all rolled up in a box that he could fit into his car. He says he is sleeping much, much better now and for the price you cannot go wrong!

I so much appreciate your blog and advice. We just moved and got this same mattress. We LOVE it! Comfort and price. Thanks for your review. We tried to follow your link in the article for purchase.

We just purchased the 10″ version of this mattress for our college age daughter in her first apartment. I’m happy to report that when we first price-checked it on Amazon it was at $238 and had reduced to $218 when we purchased it. She’s been sleeping on it for about 4 nights now and has mentioned that it’s a bit firmer than she is used to but she knows she will adjust to it. Thanks for the great tip!

Mr. and Mrs. FW

Each of you needs to slap me, hard. I’m a frugal newbie (started in early 2016), but I still have so many “frugal fails”.

I hate debt and never take out loans to buy anything. It’s cash or nothing- I’ll use a credit card to pay, but the money is in the bank to pay the card off straightaway.

Ahem. Except my insane bed. For which I have no excuse, except telling myself that I “deserved” it. And it was 2014, before I had realised that materialistic goals were part of my malaise.

Anyhoo- prepare the slaps- I spent £5,000 on my bed (base and mattress).

And it’s lovely, but it’s started to sag in the middle because it’s filled with wool, and becoming a bit uncomfortable as a result. And I’m ashamed enough already for spending such a stupid, self-indulgent amount of money- so I can’t even admit this to anyone. Except you, and your frugal community.

Is there an emoji or symbol for a face-slap, anyone?

In reply to Matthew. I suppose you could, although it's not necessary. But I don't see why not!

Can we put this on top of a box spring?

In reply to Jessica. We love this mattress! It does use regular sheets and you'll just need a frame that has slats since there's no boxspring.

This bed seems like the perfect solution for us! May I ask what kind of frame you went with and if your mattress uses regular sheets? (I’ve never not had a coil spring mattress) Thank you!!

A nice blog post, thanks. Mattresses are such a personal thing, but there certainly are many decent options on Amazon.
