Hey ASTINIA - Thanks for the info. Yes, I agree...totally outrageous. It seems all the smaller mom 'n pop mattress shops in CA have to charge that to protect themselves financially. But I recently discovered that Sears offers a 30-day trial period without a restocking fee (only the $50-75 shipping charge), just like JCPenny. 

I wonder if they delievered you a Genius instead of a Revolution bed.  I know the Genius is quite a bit firmer than the Revolution.  I had an Insight on order for 3 days last week, but that thing is just too thin for me, has too much give, and appears it won't hold up to my 190 lbs.
 

The Revolution I tried several times at Sears was also very comfortable.  I almost fell asleep in the store on it.  It sounds like you got a defective unit.  So did they take the bed away and give you another yet?

 

Now to the review about the Icomfort Revolution bed. I will be letting everyone know what I think for the next couple of weeks once I get the bed. It can't be any harder than this Tempurpedic Classic is right now!! Just something of note that my sales guy told me when I went to talk about the exchange with them today; he said that the Icomfort beds do have a break in period just like Tempurpedic. This could be total hearsay and I don't if he is right or not, so take it with a grain of salt. We shall see once I get the bed. He told me the break in period would actually be longer than the Tempurpedic Classic, but he said that even new from the factory, this bed would be softer than a Tempurpedic Classic. He could be wrong, I don't know. I guess I'm volunteering to be the guinea pig for everyone as I no longer have a choice in the matter!! In the mean time,here are my stats:

Female

200lbs(about 40 lbs overwieght)

5'6

Prefer softer cushy beds, but they need to be supportive on my hips, especially for my SI joints. Also, have to be soft enough on my upper back so my body sinks in as I am a side sleeper 95% of the time.

I will post again once I have gotten the bed and let everyone know what my initial impressions of the bed are including the smell, softness, ect...

Once a side note, it's a good thing I didn't open up all the free goodies like pillows, bed rails, bedding, ect.... I got from Tempurpedic or they would have subtracted that from my exchange credit. Just and FYI for those of you considering Tempurpedic. Those free goodies aren't always free if you decide to return the mattress. It's a great bed and so many people have been happy with it, I just can't afford their higher level beds. Definately not bashing Tempurpedic in any way, shape, or form. Wish it had worked for me.

Will update soon.....

So they delivered the queen sized mattress first, and I told her sleep on this bed asap as we just paid a lot of money for this thing.  She did and she fell right asleep.  I did as well and wow I knocked out.  We also bought 2 queen size rejuventation pillows and those are amazing.  BTW I am 32, 6'4" 235lbs and she is 30, 4'11" and tiny.  So we are polar opposites in size and both really liked this bed.  So the second night we both realized this was the first time we weren't taking sleeping pills to fall asleep.  My biggest problem with the bed is I have never had a good night sleep and it was easy to work obscene amounts of hours since I didn't want to sleep.  But now that has all changed.  I actually can sleep!!

To address some issues from this thread, the bed did not smell ever.  Also the bed hasn't indented or anything like that yet, especially on my side since I am bigger.  The bed also does not get hot, I know my old neighbors, mid 80's, complained about this with their tempurpedic bed.  Also we only ordered the mattress which came out to be around $1100 with free shipping.  And the 2 pillows were $100 for 2.

I know we are both very happy with the bed.

Sooo.... I got the mattress delivered. I was so afraid it was going to be rock hard, especially after the sales guy told me that there was a break in period and it would be harder initially. The good news is it was just as comfortable as in the show room. I feel bad for people who got this mattress and it was rock hard. Maybe there is a quality issue. All I know is I took a 4 hour nap in the afternoon the day after it was delivered and slept like a rock!! I am a 15+ year insomniac and my latest sleeping pill drug of choice is ambien. Still don't sleep good. This mattress takes away all my SI joint pain. Especially since I am a 95% side sleeper. The first time could of been a fluke since I was really tired, so I slept on it the second night after being rested thinking, okay, now the other shoe is going to drop and I'm going to hate it. Again, popped the sleeping pill and slept all night without waking once.

Enough of that. I'll describe the bed the best I can to try and help others. It's supportive just like tempurpedic with a couple of differences. You don't have that sinking feeling with this mattress as your body heat warms up the foam like you do with tempurpedic. I will also agree with the recent poster that this beds stays very cool!! My last mattress was a Glideaway memory foam mattress that is only three years old. I bought it new and now it has a dip in it and hurts my lower back. The Glideaway in my opinion sleeps fairly similar to a tempurpedic and I am always sweating on that bed, especially in the summer time. Even with central air conditioning set at 70 degrees. (I live in MInneosta) No sweating on the Icomfort bed so far. The Icomfort acts and kinda looks like a innerspring mattress but with the pressure relief of a memory foam, minus the stiff foam and heat.

Don't know how it will hold up over time. It may end up getting a dip in it. I would be happy with 4 great years out of this mattress. The last two days I have had little to no lower or upper back pain. Normally I wake up in the morning with SI joint pain. I haven't had any back pain for two entire days now.

The only thing that scares me is this mattress isn't proven, especially the supposed new design or technology. If it relieves my back pain I don't care what's in it!!

The cover on this mattress is very nice and has an almost 3D fabric stiching in it. It's really wierd, but I can feel the fabric slightly through my sheets and the facric makes the mattress more comforatable for some reason. Maybe it's in my mind.

Final thing, my sister is having a 3 level spinal fusion on friday and has the great joy of a 3 month recovery. She tried my bed the the day they delivered it and loved it. She bought the Icomfort Revolution bed as well and is having it delivered tomorrow. I'll post in the coming weeks and let everyone know what she thinks of it, especially with all the pain she will be in. I'll also let everyone know if the bed starts to get soft. I weight 200lbs, so if that if going to be an issue, I would think I will experience it sooner than some people.

Sorry for the long winded post. Thanks!!

The bed is still comfortably cool when I sleep on it being neither too hot or too cool. I still like the 3d raised fabric on the bed as it feels very comforting. On  a side not, I got the lower profile box spring and I don't have a sleigh bed. Kinda wish I would have gotten the high profile as my bed is only sitting on rails and the bed is lower to the ground now then I am used to. Something to think about for those of you considering this bed and wondering which box frame to choose.(The high and low profile frames are both the same price)

Anyway, I will sleep on the bed for another couple days in a row and post my impressions. I have read and heard that a lot of people who switch to a new mattress can experience back pain because their new bed is correcting their alignment from sleeping on a bad or broken down bed. Don't know how true that is but coming from a Glideaway memory foam bed that has a rut in the middle after sleeping on it for 3 years, that could totally be true.

I'll keep everyone posted
