Amazing
The mattress arrived a few days earlier than expected. The box was a little mangled but that was probably due to shipping. The mattress is double sealed in heavy duty plastic. The mattress inflated in very quick, only a few minutes and it was 97% of its final size, the mattress was also relatively scent free. I had a pillow top so this mattress was significantly more firm than a pillow top yet, but I needed something more firm as my pillow top was killing my back. I personally adjusted to the firmness very quick. That being said the mattress softened up after a few days, I assume this is due to some of the components needing actuation to fully open up from the highly compressed state. Since then the firmness has been stayed consistent. I found it more on the medium firm side but now it feels it's more on the medium side after laying on a true "firm" mattress. I adore how the mattress is an acceptable firmness for back and side sleeping, it isn't the most comfortable on the stomach but that is just my opinion, I'm not a fan of when I sleep on my stomach anyways. I would suggest picking up the mattress protector sold by recore as the next best part of the mattress is how it regulates heat and generally has a cool feel. I tried the mattress for a few nights with just my sheets and kept my old protector off, then put the protector on and it definitely robs the mattress of some of its thermo regulation, but not completely. I plan on investing in recores in the near future. I am extremely happy with the mattress and have been having great sleeps. I never feared disliking the mattress either as I read other reviews about the easy return people have had. I was on the fence for about a week and then I feel in love with my recore.
