Personal Comfort Review

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

• User 1: "Still in pain after a night of restless sleep. Aching hips and back pain that I feel will never go away:("

• User 2: "My initial review of my A8 mattress is average. It was semi-comfortable in the beginning but after a few weeks my opinion changed. I was looking for a plush adjustable mattress but this one seemed a bit firm. After a month or so of sleeping on it, it seems to be sunken in and not have that plush softness. I spoke with customer service and they're going to send out a replacement top layer foam pad. Hopefully that solves my problem."

• User 3: "The service to try to get the mattress to work was great, but Personal Comfort should really look at someone’s file before you send out an email saying that I liked the mattress. We had tried many different combinations through the sleep center experts and could not come up with anything that worked for us. It is a shame because we thought we would really like the mattress after all we had read. We had to return the mattress since we were both waking up with a sore back and woke up many time during the night."

COMFORT OVERVIEW
Comfort, feel and overall firmness for Personal Comfort 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 greatly differs between two people. What's firm for you might be extremely soft for someone else.

Be cautious about reviews that make definitive claims about how you'll feel sleeping on a mattress.

Is an adjustable air mattress so you have access to 45 different firmnesses. Takes time to customize but you'll likely find an ideal firmness for your unique body position and shape.

EDGE SUPPORT
• Edge support is about average. A tad shaky, but nothing like falling.
• If you want something really sturdy around the sides, look for a mattress with pocketed coils or reinforced foam.

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.
• Side sleepers benefit from great pressure relief.

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.
• Personal Comfort mattresses provide ample support while still feeling cosy. Overall, that makes it a great choice for back and stomach sleepers.

Support refers to how long the Personal Comfort 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 shifts from one side of the bed to the other. A mattress that isolates motion effectively is a smart choice if you and your partner move around during the night. Having less motion transfer means you'll get more REM sleep.

Motion transfer is solid. Though there is some transferance during movement, it dissipates fairly quickly. This means you may feel your partner's movement for a split second, but as long as you're not a light sleeper (that's easily disturbed), you'll be fine.
