I just wanted to start another thread because there are some claims in the 'request for advice' thread that I have not found to be the case.
My iComfort Revolution is on the matching box spring, not adjustable base. I've tried the Revolution in 3 Sears stores for quite some time before purchasing. Mine feels virtually the same as all 3 in the stores. The Revolution is not a 'firm' bed. Even Serta lists it as a Plush. It is a very plush bed with quite of bit of give in the top layers of memory foam. There were some comments of a 'strong odor' coming from new iComforts. I can tell you for sure, there is no strong odor whatsoever from mine. I smelled the slightest whisp of smell from the mattress, I think. It's that faint. Less than two days after getting it, I cannot smell a thing from it. As for 'sleeping hot' issues. I have slept 2 nights in the bed. I've been wearing shorts with sheet and comforter in the bed. The house is about 65 at night. I'm not too hot in the bed (edit - see below). It might be a little warmer than the S&F conventional I just had, but I do mean only a little. Only time will tell about durability - whether or not the foam keeps its support, but so far, the support is fine. There was a claim that iComfort had something to do with Sleep Innovations. Although it may use a similar foam to a Costco/Novaform/Sleep Innovations product, the iComfort law tag states the mattress is mfrd. by Serta in Moreno Valley, CA.

What's the room temp?
I just tried the iComfort Revolution & Insight for the 10th time. This time the store also had the Tempur-Pedic Rhapsody & Cloud Supreme so I could really compare. I have to say that I felt like I was in a hammock on both iComforts. I'm not a big guy either @ 130 lbs. |

I have to say that I felt like I was in a hammock on both iComforts. I'm not a big guy either @ 130 lbs. Room temp is pretty close to 65 F. We don't have A/C. I think most don't have it near the SF Bay. Bay is about 3 miles West of here. Sorry about your experience. I am 6'2" tall and about 195 lbs. I'm not having any neck or backaches after 5 nights on the Revolution. It's a plush mattress and I sink into it somewhat, but the support is there for me. I always felt like the support was there on the Insight, but it is a little firmer, so I skipped it. Genius is most firm. Keep in mind the Rhapsody is in Tempurpedic's HD line. Rhapsody feels quite a bit firmer and dense to me than a iComfort Revolution. I thought the Cloud Luxe felt similar to a Revolution, but hard to remember as this hot brunette saleslady was talking to me the whole time I was trying the Cloud :) I recall the Cloud Supreme is somewhat firmer than Revolution.

I looked at some quilts yesterday at Sears and realized they are much thinner than my beefy comforter. So I slept with just a top sheet and thin blanket and was much better temp wise. I can still say the Revolution is a little warmer than a conventional. I hope it works out in hotter weather. It's a pretty good mattress. It's as supportive as the Stearns and Foster I had and more pressure relieving too. In the other thread someone mentioned a stinky Insight mattress when new. My Revolution sure was not stinky. I stuck my nose right up to it and didn't smell anything. |

Argh! It is night 6. I'm sleeping with only a top sheet and a thin quilt, our house heater is off the whole night, it's about 56 F overnight and overcast outside (read: cool) .... and I'm still simmering on the underside in this bed! Everything contacting the bed surface is too warm! Definitely not cool! And I don't feel refreshed this morning. And to be clear, conventional beds never sleep too hot to me. The only time things are too hot is when we have a heat wave and the air temperature is too warm in the room to sleep. We don't have A/C and we don't need it. I'm already looking at other beds. Not looking good for Revolution at this point. Sort of a shame because it is more pressure relieving than the S&F plush I exchanged for it. But if the warm thing keeps happening, I'll likely be going for a refund in a week. So, I need to start looking for the next bed. Argh! This message was modified Jul 19, 2011 by slpngoc

| Slpngoc, thanks for you great review. I am currently in a dilema where I have a warranty reselect pending at my local Jcpenny. Now they mainly have Pillowtops and then the iComfort Revolution. I know not to go with a pillowtop and they really do not have decent non Pillowtops. Now today I was informed that the iComfort comes with a 120 days comfort guarantee and if not happy I get my money back and not be forced to reselect. Not sure on this, I would have to see this in writing first. Will see what to do. Thanks again |

Well, the sleeping warmer has become less of an issue, but there is a bigger issue than will likely become a knockout factor ... I can't breathe very well in this bed. It's 4 3/4" of memory foam - 2 3/4" of gel infused and 2" of 'Kool Komfort' memory foam. I'm sinking in too much. I weigh 195 lbs and 6'2" tall. This message was modified Jul 21, 2011 by slpngoc

I can only take shallow breaths. I sink pretty far into the bed, so my back is probably tweaked which makes it hard to breathe. Only had it a week, so plenty of time to return it. |

I'm a little confused about this mattress .... This morning I was sleeping with my knees up (more fetal position) and the mattress felt pretty good. Enough support and breathing was decent. My back feels better this morning. But last night I crawled into bed and stretched out on my side. Felt myself sinking down and thought, ah man, need to go to the couch. So, I'm a little confused. One good thing is this mattress is very pressure relieving. I can spend much more time on my right shoulder than my plush conventional mattress. So, I just need to have another mattress picked out. Meanwhile I ought to give this Revolution more time. It's so different. I hope I'm figuring it out. |

Sears has now come back and said that an exchange mattress is non-refundable. A few mattress sales associates and a customer serv. rep did say a mattress you get as an exchange would be refundable with their 15% fee. Obviously, they don't all know their policies. Last time I'll buy a mattress from Sears. This message was modified Jul 25, 2011 by slpngoc

| Did you receive any paperwork explaining the warranty when you purchased the mattress? Do they have a written return policy somewhere online? Otherwise, it's your word against theirs. |
