My thoughts, almost 2 years in
First off, I had a great experience with their customer service when I ordered this bed in July 2016. There was a delay in shipping, and another minor snafu, and the customer service rep stayed in contact with me and gave me a small discount to make up for the inconvenience. When I received my bed, it was pretty much love at first sight. It expanded quickly, with pretty much no foam or plastic smell, and I put the pillows into rotation as well. I had a back injury at the time, and I credit my yogabed as being instrumental to my recovery. I find the bed to be extremely helpful because it doesn’t irritate my many fibromyalgia pressure points and it allows my back to truly relax. Also I have spondylitis and some other back issues and it seems to have prevented any major flare ups which I used to get fairly regularly as I work a very physical job. I am not a small person—I am over 200 lbs (closer to 300 in fact)—and I find this bed to be very soft once it adjusts to body temp... but not in a bad way. While being soft, it also remains supportive. I mostly sleep on my back but sometimes on my side as well and it never feels like a hammock or like I’m “bottoming out”. It is also breathable and I don’t wake up hot or sweaty. I have stayed in hotels with supposedly good beds and most of them were just okay and many gave me terrible backaches. I couldn’t wait to get back to sleeping on my own bed! Even while staying at a fancy resort renowned for its luxury beds in August of 2016 and 2017, I was not that impressed and missed my yogabed! My one warning to larger people... the edges do collapse and slope a bit with pressure, so if you sleep with another person (or with big dogs, lol) you may want to buy the bed in one size larger than you’re used to. When my boyfriend visits I usually end up wishing that my bed was a king size instead, just to get a bit more space side to side for us and the cats before the edges start to slope. That said, I’ve never rolled off or anything. If we end up moving in together I would like to get a king size yogabed and have this queen in the guest room. When guests come to stay I offer them my bed and they always have enjoyed the experience as well! I’m still using the pillows too and they do the job, though I do layer one of them with a more fluffy memory foam pillow because I have asthma and prefer to keep my head elevated just a bit. Speaking of asthma, I LOVE how easy it is to remove the top mattress cover for cleaning. You just unzip and the top comes off, so it’s been machine washed and dried probably once every month or two with no issues at all. I spray it with Puracy enzyme stain remover to get any little spots out and it washes up good as new. I used to have an IKEA memory foam bed that looked similar to the yogabed (but not as comfy) and it was so dang hard to wash the cover... I simply dreaded removing it and putting it back on and it held onto stains like crazy! With the yogabed it’s not much more difficult than pulling off the sheets and I love having that clean, fresh, cushy cover. I also have the yogabed foundation as well and it’s been pretty good. It was a snap to put together as a single woman. I actually moved with it in 2017 too and was really glad I could just break it down and put it in a box and then reassemble at my new place. It has started to squeak a bit on the side where I usually sleep so I may rotate it soon. (Keep in mind though that I’m pretty heavy though so a little squeaking isn’t too bad at all considering the kind of wear it gets.) Just watch your feet though because the rounded plastic legs sit close to the edge and it’s not too difficult to stub your toes on them. Overall I’m glad I invested in the yogabed instead of going with a cheap amazon bed or similar. And I’m really glad I didn’t spend more, thinking I HAD to in order to get great rest. Sleep is SO important and I’m truly having some of the best sleep of my life right now with the yogabed.
