It is a firm mattress, rated about 7 on a 10-point scale, best suited to back and stomach sleepers who want a supportive, value-priced foam bed. It pairs a 2-inch Gel AeroFusion memory foam comfort layer with a 6-inch Flex Support foam core, so you get...
It is designed to stay cooler than traditional dense memory foam. The comfort layer is Gel AeroFusion memory foam, which is gel-infused and breathable to help regulate temperature and move heat away from the surface. The mattress is also listed as temperature...
No box spring is required. As an all-foam mattress it needs a flat, supportive surface such as a platform bed, a solid foundation, closely-spaced slats, or a bunkie board. It is also rated compatible with an adjustable base, so it will bend at the head...
It includes a 365-night sleep trial, so you have a full year to decide if the firm feel works for you. It is backed by a 10-year warranty covering manufacturing defects in the foam and workmanship. Normal comfort change, damage from an unsupportive base...

It ships free across Canada as a mattress-in-a-box, compressed and rolled so it is easy to carry to your room, then expands to its full 8-inch profile within hours of unboxing on your foundation. Expect a short break-in of a week or two as the foam settles...
Spot-clean only, using a cloth with mild detergent and water, and let it air dry; do not soak the foam or machine-wash any part of it. Because it is a single-sided firm build, do not flip it. Rotating it head-to-foot every few months helps it wear evenly...
