From MrLateNight at fatwallet:

I purchased a 3.5# 8" mattress from foambymail off of eBay exactly 4 years ago.
One side has become a sinkhole and the other side seems to be starting. There is a weight difference between the two sides but is not huge.
This started at least a year ago. We haven't determined if it's just the memory foam or if it's the base. I suspect both.


EDIT: It seems even the supposedly 2.6lb foam base has also failed:

The memory foam collapse is the worst, but the base clearly is collapsing as well. I can press the whole amount down almost to 1" compression in the pit area, vs only about half way in the middle or bottom where it is not flawed. In fact, the memory foam in those areas is starting to feel more like regular foam.
