anyone else remember when woot! was awesome? me too.

Woo, good diss. Never heard that one before. Gonna write that one down.

The Gel Memory Foam layer is 3.5# density
The comfort layer is 3# density
The base layer is 2# density, high ILD base foam

Wow, very low density indeed on those bottom two layers.

Any Gel Memory Foam mattress needs to be placed on a firm, supportive surface in order for optimal comfort. This would include most box springs or foundations that you would buy today. These are normally made of wood and are solid.

In the past, mattresses didn’t just have coils, but the box spring did as well (hence the name). Over the years, box springs have evolved into foundations with V shaped steel inserts with very little give. However, many people still call them box springs.

Foundations are ideal to be used with a memory foam mattress. Box springs (in the old sense of the word… coils and all can still be used, but it is not the best choice)

A long explanation, but I wanted to make sure everyone was clear about the box spring vs. foundation.

This Gel Memory Foam mattress can be used with any solid, firm surface.

Solid surfaces are actually not ideal foundations for memory foam or latex mattresses. A lack of ventilation can increase the risk of mold, mildew and dust mites. Info here:

Say what you will about this mattress, but I am VERY happy with mine. I bought mine last year to replace my $4500 Jameson that lasted less than 10 yrs. So far, 1 yr later, I cannot say enough good things about this mattress. Let’s say it only lasts another year and I have to buy a replacement next year for $450. It will take me 20 yrs to spend the same money I paid for my Jameson and I will have enjoyed the restfulness of 10 new mattresses in that same period of time. I am glad this offer is back. My son is buying one today as are several of my friends who know how much I love mine. I am even considering buying another one just to have a spare when this one does finally give out…

We bought a WOOT memory foam 3 years ago and it’s still great. My math was similar: If we had to replace it every 3 years we’d be ahead, so 5 would be a bonus LOL!

How does this arrive when it’s shipped? Can it be left outside for a few hours or does someone need sign for it and take it in right away?

I’ve posted this here before, but will post it again, because it’s still true! If this is like previous offers, the density will likely be 3 lbs or so – but with memory-foam mattresses you want density specs of 5 lbs or above. A mattress with less than that will no doubt feel good when you start sleeping on it (esp. if you’re new to memory foam), but it won’t be durable. All questions answered here:

Great link, thanks for posting. There is an article in there though that it important:

Mattress support cores - polyurethane

The entire mattress, in this example, isn’t “memory foam”. Only the top 3" layer is “memory foam”. The base support is polyfoam which is different. Anything above a 1.8 lb density of polyfoam is considered high density, and “quite suitable for a support layer under memory foam or under a softer top layer of good quality polyfoam or latex”.

The biggest issue is that people don’t put them on the right foundation. Box springs don’t work; you need to put them on a flat surface like a platform bed, or just put a flat piece of plywood under it.

Are you expecting them to sell things below cost? They ran out of brown Microsoft Zunes to sell.

Mine came vacuum compressed, folded over, and rolled up in a sealed heavy plastic bag. It weighs a ton and is awkward to move so the likely hood of someone stealing it would be remote. Once the plastic bag is punctured, it starts to inflate fairly quickly…so make sure you have it where you want it when you unwrap it.

Great thing about WOOT, if don’t like today’s offering, you only have to wait until tomorrow for another chance to complain.

These will ship out in 3-5 days and then allow time for transit.

We do not ship items as signature required.

What is Woot’s return policy on this mattress?

It will come compressed in a durable poly bag. You don’t have to open it right away… but you will want get it open and use right away.

You answered this better than I did!

Thank you!

Nice find! Thanks. Do see the link that I posted above about flat surfaces, though – I’ve seen complaints from people about mold/mildew caused by condensation when there is no ventilation in the foundation.
