Gold Bond Mattress Review

Here are several relevant and useful comments from buyers considering or have already purchased Gold Bond Mattress.

• User 1: "I've had this for several months and it still has an incense odor to it. It slides off our twin mattress. We aren't too happy with it but shipping it back would be too big a hassle so we're still airing it out!!"

COMFORT OVERVIEW
Comfort, feel and overall firmness for Gold Bond mattress is extremely subjective.

Firmness isn't the only factor to consider when you're mattress shopping.

Choosing the right bed starts with figuring out how your body responds to lying at different angles.

It's important to understand how a mattress relieves pain and distributes pressure on your sensitive points (neck, shoulder, upper back, lower back, arms, hips, legs), as well as how it feels for couples and sex.

COMFORT SUMMARY
Firmness is very subjective and varies a lot between people. Your firm might be someone else's soft.

Take caution when people make definitive claims about how a mattress will feel.

Gold Bond feels like a standard (but durable) innerspring hybrid design. Should accommodate all 3 sleep positions well (depending on the model you pick). If you go to a retail location and lay on one, keep in mind it likely won't feel the same when you have the mattress in the comfort of your own home.

EDGE SUPPORT
• Some sinkage around the edge. Definitely not great.
• Find a coil hybrid with reinforced edges (like a Saatva) if you prioritize edge firmness.

Note: Edge support is a term used to describe how well mattress edges sustain concentrated weight without collapsing.

Good edge support is important. It helps your mattress last longer (less sagging) and creates a larger overall sleep surface (bonus for couples).

Don't be fooled by low-quality mattresses that appear to have good edge support at first. They break down faster and you'll end up with a bigger headache down the line.

SIDE SLEEPERS
• Your shoulders, hips and torso must evenly distribute support if you sleep on your side. Otherwise concentrated pressure causes long term nerve and pain-related issues.
• You may be able to get away with this mattress if you have shoulder or hip pain, but if you require more support, try something softer.

BACK/STOMACH SLEEPERS
• When you sleep on your back & stomach, your biggest concern should be finding a mattress that keeps your hips from sinking too far in. This knocks your spine out of alignment.
• Suitable for stomach and back sleepers. The mattress allows you to lie on top of it rather than sink into it. Your back should be properly aligned (which helps reduce pressure and pain).

Here are a few facts about Gold Bond mattress construction:

Support refers to how long the Gold Bond Mattress lasts over a reasonable expectation of 7-10 years (average mattress lifespan).

Motion transfer refers to the amount of disturbance you'd experience from one side of the mattress to another. Motion transfer is important for couples, especially if your partner tosses & turns (most do).

MOTION TRANSFER

Motion transfer measures how much movement changes between sides of the bed. You'll need a motion-isolating mattress if you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns at night. Less motion means better sleep.

Isolates motion fairly well. The material can absorb some small movement spikes when you or your partner moves. You only need to worry about this if you are a very light sleeper.
