Your size, sleeping position, and general lifestyle can make a big difference in the type of mattress you find comfortable. I tend to like things a little bit softer, while my SO likes a very supportive mattress.
Me: Around 115 lbs, side sleeper, some chronic back pain
My SO: About 230 lbs, back and stomach sleeper
It can take a month to adjust to a new mattress (especially if it’s firmer than your old one), and there was a big difference in week one to week four in how comfortable My Pillow’s mattress felt.
Mattress firmness is ranked from 1 to 10, with one being a very soft mattress, and 10 being very hard. As a general rule, back and stomach sleepers as well as people who are average sized to larger tend to like firmer mattresses, while smaller people and side sleepers tend to prefer the extra contouring you get from a soft mattress. From personal experience, this seems about right – I like support, but don’t sink very well into firmer types memory foam.
The My Pillow mattress falls close to the middle, at about a 6.5-7, so medium firm. This is right in my SO’s range, and on the firm end of where my recommendations would be.
For a bed-in-a-box, this one was pretty light, weighing around 60-70 lbs for a queen size. This made it easy to carry/drag despite being packaged in a fairly large box, and it’s something I could easily set up on my own.
The mattress comes compressed and wrapped in plastic, along with a small tool to cut through the packaging.
It’s definitely well wrapped – there was a solid 20 feet of binding to unroll to get to the mattress itself.
Once you cut into the plastic, this thing expands fast – I planned to do a time lapse from opening to full size, but by the time I finished cutting, it had already expanded to 9″ of the full 10″ thickness.
I’d recommend taking it out in the bedroom/guestroom you plan on using it in to save the hassle of moving a solid foam mattress around, but even with that, it wasn’t very difficult. The total time for unboxing and setup was about 10 minutes, and would have been faster in the bedroom.
Memory foam can have a sort of chemical smell when it’s first unpacked, but I didn’t notice any particular odor with this one. I could have used it right out of the box if I had wanted to.
Overall, the setup was super easy, the mattress could be used right away, and I was pretty happy.
This is a 10″ mattress with four different foam layers for cooling, contouring and support, plus a soft, plush fabric cover. It uses CertiPUR-US certified materials, which means the foams meet general standards for safety and eco-friendliness. The layers are:
We were going to My Pillow’s mattress from a conventional innerspring, so first impression was that this felt firm. Not bad necessarily, but definitely more solid, and with less traditional bounce than I’m used to from a mattress. Our impressions:
The real adjustment started happening here, and it was pretty steady for the next couple of weeks. It really makes a difference spending more time on it. Our thoughts:
I’ve gotten used to how the mattress feels, and have started to sleep really well. It’s much more comfortable than I expected it to be on my end.
Overall, it’s a really comfortable mattress and I was genuinely surprised by the quality and how much I liked it. It’s also helped improve our sleep patterns:
It’s not the most complicated mattress on the market, but if you want something that feels good, works for people of different sizes and sleeping positions, and is pretty well priced, this is a really good option. My Pillow has a current promotion for $100 off, making it extra worth taking a look.
With their current promotion, My Pillow’s mattresses are $800 for a queen size ($900 without a discount). At less than $1,000, they’re well priced for a bed-in-a-box, and on the cheaper end for mattresses made in the USA.
My Pillow offers a good trial period – 120 day returns, no questions asked. This is about average when buying an online mattress, and gives you four months to adjust and decide if you like it. If you live somewhere really hot or really cold, make sure to try your mattress during the worst of your weather so you can see if it helps you keep a neutral temperature at night.
The warranty is also standard for the mattress industry – 10 years normal use, nothing crazy. Once you get your mattress, there’s an easy warranty registration through their website to help keep track of your purchase.
Shipping within the contiguous USA is free (every state but Alaska and Hawaii). They don’t specify shipping time, but mine had an estimate of 3-5 business days and got here in 3.
This one was really fast – it went from rolled to 9″ in a couple of minutes, and could be used pretty much right away.
My Pillow makes its products at its factory in Minnesota, so their mattresses are USA made.
Yep! The materials are what’s called “CertiPUR-US” certified foam – this means that the foam has been tested and given a certification for health and environmental safety. CertiPUR maintains an independent list of companies that meet it’s rigorous certification and periodic re-certification guidelines; we recommend verifying that any memory foam mattress you’re considering is on there (you can see My Pillow on the list, we looked too!).
They have. Their main one was false medical claims (stating or implying that their pillow would help/cure medical conditions without evidence to back this up), and they also had issues with running permanent promotions. None of these have impacted their mattress, but if you’d like to read more, we’ve covered this in more detail here.
