Vibe 12-Inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress - Cooling Gel - Pressure-Relieving Support - Medium-Firm Feel - CertiPUR-US Certified - Bed-in-a-Box - California King Size

updated on 12/21/18: still enjoying this mattress. I ended up putting on a kohls "big one" mattress topper as I like a soft bed. this mattress was a little firmer than I preferred as I noted in my first review. I read a few reviews saying they found the mattress stayed "dented" as they slept on it. I haven't found this, I weigh 170 lbs and the mattress refreshes its shape as soon as I move away from the original area. overall, still pretty impressed with this mattress. its on the firm side, but the topper I put on it has made it absolutely perfect and I sleep well, and yes, it does stay cool. Was a little hesitant to buy a gel memory foam mattress online, but after looking in all the stores and their prices, I figured I would take a chance. I am very pleased with my purchase of this king mattress. It is hard to comment on the plushness level as not everyone agrees on what is soft, hard or plush due to their personal taste. I was replacing another regular king foam mattress that I have had for 6 years. I cut it down to queen size for a guest bedroom as I found it so hot to sleep on. It was a great mattress, nice and soft, and I really liked it. But I am a very hot sleeper and was getting tired of waking up several times a night literally sweating (Im in FL). This mattress was put on a king platform bed with bungy boards for support. It expanded to 12" within about four hours and there was absolutely no odor as I had read some reviewers had a problem with this. It was packed very well, the box was a little beaten up upon arrival, but the mattress is packaged so well, this did not matter. I m in my late 50s and I had no problem dragging it into the house on a dolly and then dragging it into the room. Once I got it out of the box, I had no problem getting it onto the platform bed and removing the packaging and placing it to expand. I have slept on it for about 3 weeks now. At first I thought it might be a little too firm for me, I like a very plush mattress. But I decided to give it a chance as I could always put my old gel memory topper back on if needed. After 3 weeks I find it's not too firm, it's just right for good support for my back, but plush enough that I sink into it a bit. Once I move, the small indentation goes immediately back to its original shape. And I no longer wake up many times a night in a sweat. The mattress is not overly cooling, I find it just right. The side edges are firm enough to offer support if sitting on the edge. The cover on the mattress is beautiful and high quality. But I still put on a mattress cover just in case. Overall, I am quite happy with this purchase. Buying a mattress online can be intimidating as I am not sure what people do when they have to return a foam mattress. But this mattress is a keeper and I sleep so much better now.

I purchased this mattress (the 12" Cal King) in 2020, and it's now five years old. I've intentionally waited a long period of time after purchasing to leave this review. The main reason for me doing this was because I truly wanted to give an honest appraisal of the mattress that truly reflects its longevity and how it lasts in the long run -- not after a few weeks like some of the reviews you see. So, this mattress? It's good stuff. Honestly. As long as the materials and structures are the same within the mattresses, I can 100% vouch for this product. I'll break it down a little bit: When I ordered this mattress, it came in a box as expected. Same process as everyone else. Put it on the base, unroll it, open it, and let it rise. In a few hours, it expanded to full size. We were able to sleep on it the same night, and it's been great ever since. There were no issues with corners being mashed or dips in the foam. I keep seeing people complain about fiberglass, and while I'm aware that fiberglass is used a fire protectant, I haven't had any issues with it myself. Of course, I also haven't tried to take off the cover, and the mattress went directly into an encasement before we slept on it. There's not really any reason to actually take the cover off anyway. If you're concerned about stains or keeping things clean, spend the $30 and buy an encasement or a cover. If it gets stained or dirty, you can wash it or throw it out and you still protect the mattress. Pretty simple concept. This bed is quite comfortable (and frankly one of the most comfortable mattresses I've ever owned -- including a $3000+ Serta set), but it's important to remember that bedding preferences are going to be different for virtually every person because of our individual preferences. To me, the bed has a very solid base of support that progressively softens until the top. This lends the mattress to providing a firm support underneath a really floaty support layer. If you push down on the bed, you'll find that it's pretty solid. Once you lie on it, however, you'll notice that it cradles you. Only recently have I started having some pain from sleeping, but that's likely due more to me than the mattress (other factors here like multiple pillows, the way I sleep, etc.). So, to reiterate: this mattress is both firm and plush, supportive and cradling. If you don't like this feeling or prefer to have an extra firm mattress with no give, then this one isn't for you. Temperature-wise, it's been comfortable and never hot. As far as stability, this bed has been solid for five years now. It's only recently started to show signs of being worn. Part of this is my fault, of course, because I'm a big guy. Regardless, having a sub-$500 mattress last this long is pretty good, I think. I've had more expensive mattresses that didn't last this long. I'm sure it'll last some folks even longer. Make sure that you've got it on a solid base because it is pretty heavy, and if it's on slats, make sure they aren't more than about 3" apart to help keep the mattress in good shape over the long-term. Ultimately, if nothing has changed with the mattresses, I feel confident in saying that this is a good quality, well-made mattress that's worth the money. The price is gone up by about ~$250 since I bought it on sale, but I think it's a good deal even at its current price. There's no need to be on the fence. If you're considering purchasing this mattress, it'll serve you well. Just be mindful of the size, weight, density/firmness, and how to care for it.

I was searching for a plush mattress because I'm tired of using a topper that migrates. Alas, after purchasing this mattress, I still need the topper because this mattress isn't plush, it's medium firm. Yes, it gives and forms itself to my body... to a point...and then it's firm. My shoulders and hips still hurt when I sleep on my side too long, even with a 4" topper. I only turn over once a night, though, which is less often than my old mattress, and I'm getting good, solid sleep. So, despite the minor drawbacks, I'm happy overall. However, hoping I wouldn't need a topper, I ordered a 12" mattress. I wish I would've gotten the 10" so my sheets fit a little better with the 4" topper. I didn't have any issues with the mattress expanding out of the box. In fact, I struggled to get it properly placed before it expanded too much to move it as easily as when it's compressed and I probably could have slept on it the first night. There was a slight chemical smell when I initially cut the bag open, but that quickly dissipated and I would not call that an issue at all. My dogs insist the whole king bed is theirs with the exception of a narrow 6" strip I'm allotted right on the edge of the mattress. It's not a problem. The mattress doesn't have any special material to bolster the edges at all, but the layers are firm enough that it holds it's shape and doesn't toss me out onto the floor. When I get out of bed in the morning, my body feels properly rested and not in any way stiff or sore. My back is never an issue, which is great. I use four pillows to prop my head to maintain a good airway and support my shoulder. I use an ortho pillow for my knees, which helps my hips, but I still need to turn over at least once a night. No biggie. I would only take away a star because this shouldn't be advertised as plush. I didn't take away that star because I don't want to discourage anyone from buying this mattress. I think it's a great mattress overall, especially for the price. Like I said earlier, I only wake up once a night to turn over because my hip or shoulder will be getting sore, but it was much more often than that with my old mattress. I fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer on the Vibe mattress. Now that I know this mattress, I'd buy it again as a 10", be ready with a topper, and very happy overall with the sleep I get. So, I do recommend this, even for someone who needs a more plush mattress like me.

It seems to be a common theme that those of us that need a new mattress, but at an affordable price, do a ton of research. I searched for weeks online for different mattresses at different stores and tried to see who was having specials (I tried to know which one I wanted by Amazon Prime week, but I just wasn't ready to decide by then!). I looked at beds that had thousands of reviews because I thought those would be most reliable due to the quantity of those that had tried the bed. I looked at beds that didn't have a ton of reviews (like this one with I think like 400-700 hundred, I can't remember), and I also did Google searches to find more thorough reviews from professionals. My goal was to buy a king size mattress for $250-$300. I was really close to picking the Amazon Basics (or something like that) and I can't remember exactly what pushed me to this bed, but I think this one was actually a bit less expensive for the 12in size vs the 10 inch and from my research I did gather that the general consensus was to get as many inches as possible (that's what she said) because a memory foam bed probably wouldn’t expand as largely as it should. So the Vibe bed it was! I ordered on a Thursday and it was supposed to arrive on Saturday (the day my new bed was to arrive), but lo and behold I had it by Friday night! As you see the box came it a very good condition (something I think some have complained about). So I am a single woman and had to get it up to my bedroom on the second floor. I will say it took a bit of elbow grease, but I managed to walk it into the house and then slide the box upstairs and into my room. DEFINITELY do not remove the bed from the box until you are ready to open it. Once upstairs, I laid some blankets down and then pulled the box off (while leaving the plastic on). I unrolled the mattress and it expanded to about 8 inches in less than 20 minutes and 10 in less than 20. I couldn't resist trying it out, so I cut the plastic a little bit and crawled in (seems weird, but with two kids I did not want that plastic off until the mattress was going to be immediately covered with a mattress protector and sheet!). It was decently comfy! Like it wasn't super firm by any means, but my ideal bed is one that literally feels like a super soft pillow, so I did notice a difference there, but it was 95% fine. Like I know a topper would take this bed to 110% amazing so I am good with that. Two days later (I didn't really check the next day) and the bed was fully at it's 12 inches. I was VERY impressed, because the pics in some review of memory foam beds made it look like the edges of the mattress never really took on a rounded square shape. Not this one! This bed fully looks like a completely even, regular mattress. And I have been super tired lately so that could contribute, but honestly I have never slept better on a bed! I set an alarm to wake me up halfway though the night so I can see that I have more time to sleep, and with this bed I always miss that alarm! I snuggle up in this bed with my nice warm comforter and that is all she wrote! I have no comment about whether the mattress gets hot, because with comforters I would have no idea how someone is able to attribute being hot to the mattress and not, um the covers? Overall the only thing that could make this bed better is if it was just a smidgen softer, but truly for the price I would definitely pick this bed again. Some memory foam users complain that the sides begin to sag eventually so I am praying I don't encounter that. Overall, I know this review is rather lengthy, but I wanted to give a review that would have empowered me to take the plunge when I was shopping. Hope this helps! 8/5/20 Update: As a single person I sleep on one side of the bed and I will admit this side is lower. Still would buy this mattress!

Initial review: the mattress arrived promptly. right out of the package it quickly rose to 10 inches and then to the full 12 inches within a short time after that. even the corners and edges are perfect. we did let it sit for 24 hours before using but probably didn't need to. there is absolutely no odor. even if you put your nose right up to it. one night in and it felt great. firm with just the right amount of give. did not feel hot at all and it was a warm night. so far I think it was a great purchase.

I've had a few surgeries and will probably still need a few more. Some I've had to have. Those being my back, shoulders,my thoracic spine due to an extremely rare Thoracic Spinal Dural Fistula which was taking me out big time and quickly. My neck is toast, have R.S.D. , migraines, and can have seizures and continue to have dysfunction of my autonomic nervous system which causes a lot of fun as you can imagine. With this comes many fun things which keeps me quite busy, lol. Even though one pushes through the pain which can feel unbearable at times. No matter, we all have to sleep at some point. It seems this is where the challenge begins. I mentioned this only for this and hopefully to help others in reading this review. Pain is part of living. I embrace both. My view is as long as I feel pain I'm still kickin it and feel truly grateful for both. Again I only mentioned this to get to the point of my review of this bed. I've tried many things to sleep on some intentional and some not, lol. Soft beds,firm beds, futons, single size up to Cal King with and without foam. The last three beds I've slept on as I would try all of them at various times in various rooms of my home. With my last purchase going against my common sense, I bought a plush, which set me back $1,400 what a waste. My doctor gave me a prescription that a rep from this Co. was seeking approval through my Insurance which cost $22,000 a month to fill. I don't know maybe it was just me but I just felt that was a bit steep for a few hours of sleep. You could say it was the combination of the lack of and quality of sleep, the pain in my joints while laying in bed and after waking up in the a.m. and feeling like I was 35 yrs. pay my age and that the pain would continue into my day, that said I thought this bed is winning the battle against me and I should just try again to check out and hopefully get a better bed. I did say better, I didn't say more expensive. I wanted to emphasize the price the price I paid for this bed. I have to say I went out and started researching everything on Amazon and also other companies reading the reviews and I kept coming back to this bed. Seriously the price, or lack of price gave me hesitation but for some reason the bed did not. After getting burned for 1400 bucks I just thought what did I have to lose as the reviews were great. As I seem to find with all reviews, it doesn't matter what product a laptop etc. some people seem like they don't like anything, that's their right and they have the right to their opinion. Now to finally get to the point of this. I ordered the king size bed and the mattress cover. Go figure, by adding the mattress cover it brought the price down an extra 80 dollars below the cost of the bed alone without the cover but including the cover. I dunno...It made the decision even easier to buy it. I found the price unbelievable and bought it. Once delivered, I rolled it out let it sit for day and a half made the bed and was anxious to see what would happen latter that night. All I could tell say is soon as I got under the to cover as I didn't get under the sheet. I zonked out and slept for 10 hours straight, without waking that night. I'm not lying, I swear to God. I love the heck out of this bed,man the price is unreal and it's just an awesome bed at least for me. So all I can tell you is if you go to bed sore wake up worse feeling like you're 110 and wake up during the night because of pain, toss and turn wake up frequently and you want all that to end try this bed. I did and it's the best money I've ever spent honestly, I'd sign a sworn affidavit. I also wanted to state that I've never heard of this company before I started doing research on Amazon. I didn't get paid for this review nor did I get a discount of any sorts, incentives or any thing kickback. I paid full price minus huge savings after adding an extra $27 for the cover which save me another 80 bucks including the cover which I still don't understand that but. Again I strongly reiterate that I've never, ever heard of this company before I researched beds on Amazon. I took chance after reading all of the many reviews and many beds and I'm now sleeping on the best bed I've had. I can honestly say I have no regrets and I've just been so madly impressed by this bed. I was amazed at how truly horrible what I thought were good beds. They had caused my body so much grief and pain. All I can honestly say for me it was truly like a light switch and that's no BS. The beds I've been sleeping on were causing me to only get a few hours of sleep. Not to mention the poor quality of sleep I was getting. Also much of the pain at night and carrying over into the day ( what a vicious cycle) was due to having such a pathetic bed that I paid so much more for. Please don't start charging more for the bed. As I'd feel bad maybe that my review had some reflection and caused the price to increase. All of these opinions are mine,of my free will and it's the way I honestly feel. No one contacted me nor asked me to review this. I waited many months to add my review of this bed so I could honestly try and provide my sole and honest opinion. Again the information I put in this review was personal and was only given/said/provided to give insight into possibly trying to help others with respect to purchasing this bed in hope that others might experience some benefit from this bed as I have. I made this review after careful consideration and time waiting what I felt was a reasonable amount of time so as to provide many months of sleep and use of this product so as I felt that I could actually give it a reasonable and accurate assessment. Hopefully it will help others. I tossed the $1,400 bed and was glad to do so. Speaking only for myself in my opinion this bed has been incredible,at least for me.

Update 2025: We have enjoyed this bed so much for almost 5 years. Still a terrific bed. No degradation. So we bought another for our guest room. You can spend two or three times as much and not do better. Also, if you have questions or concerns, reach out to the "customer support" link on this site. They are extremely helpful and anxious to achieve customer satisfaction. Review 2020: After researching for many months (you know the drill: Consumer Reports, paid articles, YouTube, etc.) we had the opportunity to test ride a Vibe bed for 10 nights at a friends home. We loved it. The friend had simply needed a bed quickly and he saw that the Vibe is an Amazon Choice. He ordered it and then bought another. I saw the price and clicked "Buy Now"! I would agree with the assessment that it is "medium firm". But this subject has been butchered by opinions from so many directions, it's a joke. To qualify: if you are familiar with memory foam bedding, "medium firm" is IMO, accurate. If you have been sleeping on a classic inner spring mattress, you might call it soft or "medium soft". Let's clarify. Beds like this have "pressure relieving" softness on top. The Vibe has two inches of it. It really feels soft on the hips and shoulders. But...this bed is also really firm in terms of back support. I think it is the perfect combination of comfort and support - great for sleeping on your back, stomach or side. We have slept on Tempurpedic brand beds and found them comfortable but actually "hard" compared to the Vibe. Our history has been classic moderately expensive inner spring mattresses. Plush from Stearns and Foster. Pillow top from Sealy. Each was about $1000 for just the mattress. The vibe is so good I would have been OK with paying that again. But we didn't! One complaint which we think will resolve itself. Everyone has a different sense of smell. My wife smells stuff I don't and vice versa. The Vibe has an odor. We have been airing it out for a couple days. It does seem to be dissipating. I attached a picture of the bed about 30 minutes after we released it from it's plastic captivity. Fun to watch. It's about 11" high and soft. By the next day it was the full 12" and the firmness set in. While you could probably sleep on this bed right away, we recommend waiting several days for the odor to fade and for the total firmness factor to be established. Based on the hundreds of reviews and sales pitches I have read, I don't think you would do better if you spent 4 or 5 times the price - and that is easy to do. If this bed is still performing well in 5 years, then all my effusiveness will be an understatement. Wow. What a bed. Update a few months later: The odor we mentioned has all but disappeared. We have been using this mattress in the guest room and as a secondary bed when one of us is ill. We like it so much that we are planning to swap it with the mattress in the master bedroom. It will be the primary bed for us. I think you could easily spend 3x this price and possibly be less happy. Highly recommend. Update June 2021. We made the swap. The Vibe is our every night bed. Wonderful. Almost zero motion transfer. Awesome back support. I see that the price is now more. It is still a bargain. Best bed ever.

Listen, I've slept better on this mattress than I ever have any other. No aches. No pains. No flipping and flopping trying to get comfortable. I lay down in one position and wake up that way hours later. The only adjustment I've had to make is actually having to work to get out of bed instead of just popping up. It's just that comfy.

I have read that some people can't sleep on this mattress. I had a pillow top mattress for about 14 years. Finally broke down and purchased new beds. Do to our age we went with adjustable beds and these 12 inch mattresses. It is soft but you don't sink down all that much. I have been using maybe 3 weeks now and do to no space on side of bed I get on from end. I have not hit the mattress retainer once yet the edges have some Good stability to them so you don't sink in that far. I fall asleep before the message function times out (15 minutes or so) and have slept past the alarm 2x so far. I find the bed incredibly comfortable but I am a heavy person. Over 300lbs. A lighter person might find it a bit stiff and unforgiving. Mind you the wife is over 100 but under 200 that is all I am allowed to say and she says it is very comfortable for her also. Our mattresses touch but I don't feel her turning over and she doesn't feel me turning over. But her snoring is still as loud as any freight train. Purchased deep fitted sheets and wake up with a corner off every morning, but that might be me finding comfy position with adjustable bed. Oh ya also they work very well with adjustable bed. They bend not crease or kink. The cover that is on the mattresses has a zipper so it can be either washed or dry cleaned, I'll have to find instructions or look on label. I am a side sleeper also as is wife and no problem holding position and shoulder sinks in a bit but not a lot. One final thing we both will get on one mattress to just watch TV or snuggle and well the old pillow top because she lite and I am not she would either lay on angel or I would get sore from her weight pressing on me because of how far mattresses was sunk down. NOT ANY MORE!!!! Now we lay beside each other and 1 I am not sunk in 6 inch (ya it was time for new bed ) any more so she is beside not above fallin into the sinkhole. Oh yes another important thing was that there was almost no smell when the mattresses opened which was surprising and it only took about 1 hour for them to get to full height or so they looked full height. And as you can see from the video that I included the sex is fantastic on this mattress. Haha ya perv there is no video you will have to find that stuff out on your own. We are very satisfied with this purchase we just wish we would have done it a lot sooner. Oh ya I have not woke up with a sore back since getting this bed and mattress. UPDATE.It is now January and have been using mattress for a couple of months. It is med firm and I sleep perfect as does wife. We purchased 2 for a split king. Should have done this 30 years ago. We don't know if the other rolls over anymore or gets up to go to washroom. It is like sleeping by yourself with someone beside you it is perfect. In 3 to 5 years I will have no problem replacing then mattresses if they need it as they are paying for themselves every night and sometimes a little in the day too. When the kids mattresses need replaced it will be this type of mattress. I have spent over 1000 on mattress and it was no where near as comfortable as this and after a year it had little bunch ups on the pillow top. This mattress no bunchup no swet and the cover comes off for wash. Greatest but I have done I think. Oh ya one more thing almost forgot I dont wake up with sore back anymore and if I go to bed with sore back it might not be better in morning but it is not any sore and I never woke up 20x with sharp pains. Cause these mattresses alow your body to take natural pose while sleeping instead of you molding to its shape. Upupdate: 2 years later and I still sleep great on it. The wife likes to lay on her side and says the medium is to hard so I am looking for a soft or plush for Christmas but can find in a 10 inch but not a 12 inch and they have actually doubled in price. That's nuts guess I will have to look elsewhere

Absolutely love my Vibe mattress. It keeps getting better each night, but was comfortable from the start. I didn't experience any strong foam smells during the unrolling process and was able to use the very same night. We've been on them for 2 months now and we don't have any complaints. We purchased two twin XL to make a king size and are very happy. The reason for two separate mattress is that my husband and I have different preferences in sheets, so we can each be happy this way and not have separate beds.

We loved this mattress when we first got it. But after a year and a half of using it, it’s saggy and sacked out! I can’t sleep anymore because the body “holes” are so bad. Don’t buy if you want a long term mattress or if you are a full sized person. Bought one for my 3 year old and it’s still good.

Je suis étonné de ce matelas quand je regarde le prix que je l’ai eu. Il donne un confort souhaité! Je sais que les coins sont un peu mou mais je ne dors pas les coins. Bon achat rapport qualité prix surtout avec un lit electrique!

I am 57 and this is the most comfortable mattress I ever had. Easy to unbox and set up. We waited three days to sleep on it the first time. Feels firm the first few days but after a week or so feels softer on top (memory foam) yet supportive underneath (comfort and base foam). Just like the comfortable feel of high-end hotel mattresses - plush on top yet supportive underneath. The kind of mattress that you wake up in the morning and you feel like stretching and relaxing while staying in the bed. Why pay thousands for all the marketing and brick and mortar costs of the expensive brand names?
