My previous Serta hybrid mattress cost $1200 from a furniture dealer and it failed after just over a year; but the dealer said it didn't fail "enough" to warrant a refund. I have back problems and it is difficult to find a good balance between "medium" and "plush" which vary enormously across brands. This mattress came quickly, was inexpensive, inflated right away, is not too warm over night, and had only a faint odor which wore off after two days. So far it has been pretty good/comfortable. I'll see how it holds up. No edge control on these foam mattresses, so a bit mushy to sit on the side; but that is a minor problem.
