Affordable, high quality, convenient option for transitioning from crib to twin mattress

Very firm, but my toddler loves it. It is a great transition mattress from a crib mattress (rock hard) to a regular mattress. Plus, it discourages jumping!

Very comfortable and super affordable. Made the choice of going with a twin size bed over a toddler bed an easy one.

Our 3 year has transitioned from her toddler bed to a twin. We didn't want to get a box spring because we wanted her lower to the ground so she could get in and out and if she fell out she wasn't too high. This is PERFECT and much cheaper than a box spring.

You just take it out of the box, DONT mess around with the frabric just open it right out and the fabric will go around itself then zip it up! Done! We love it!

This crib is of very sturdy and solid construction. We had it delivered to a bricks and mortar BRU store. It comes unassembled but it didn't take long (nor much skill) to put it together. I was eight months' pregnant and had it together in about 20 minutes.

The mattress support is adjustable in four different positions. (Check out my shared Customer Images to see it positioned at the highest level) This crib has a stationary front - there is no drop-down gate. My husband and I are tall enough that this is not a problem but shorter customers should be aware.

The best thing about this convertible crib is there is no separate "conversion kit" to purchase. When your child is ready, all you need to purchase is a full-sized bed frame. The parts for the toddler bed conversion come with the original kit.

I'm really pleased with this crib but I can't yet give it 5 stars. That's because I haven't had the chance to really use the crib - our son is still about 4 weeks from delivery!

I did lots of research before buying this, as I was really unsure about buying a mattress online, especially at such a low price, but I've been pleasantly surprised at the quality!

We bought it for our guest room, so it's not a daily use mattress, but my husband and I have slept on it as have several guests, and we all find it very comfortable. I would classify it as medium in softness--it's definitely not firm (doesn't cause my arm to fall asleep when I sleep on my side like firmer mattresses do). It arrived in a big box, but I was able to unpack it by myself. The unpacking instructions were clear, and it was easy to roll out. It expanded to full size within a few hours.

I would recommend putting it on a platform bed or a frame with lots of closely spaced slats designed for foam mattresses. It's pretty squishy and probably wouldn't do well on a frame with large spaces between the slats. I bought a frame on Amazon that appeared to have enough slats, but after I put together I thought it needed more support, so I bought some plywood to go underneath it. (I've read some comments saying plywood is not ideal, but it's worked fine for us.)

I can't speak to the longevity, as we've only had it a few months, but at $230, even if it only lasts a few years I'd say it's worth it. If you're on the fence and need a good affordable mattress, go for it!

I recently purchased a foam mattress online, to go on my traditional queen sized bed.  I decided to initially try the new mattress with my rather old box spring, but I disliked how low to the ground the foam mattress, which is a bit thinner than my old mattress, felt to the ground.  I also quickly felt like I was sleeping in a valley.  I suspected the 16-year old bo xspring was the culprit, and decided to take a chance on this product.

I've only slept on it three nights, but it has made a HUGE difference.  The "valley" is gone, and the mattress feels the way I believe it is supposed to feel, both firm and soft.  Plus, I like that I'm able to regain some of my lost elevation, as this box spring is a good 1 - 1.5 inches thicker than my old box spring was.

The assembly instructions were pretty easy to follow, although a couple of minor tweaks would knock them out of the park.  But I had no trouble assembling this completely unassisted in around 30 minutes or so.  The hardest part was getting the foam mattress back on top of the new box spring (especially since I couldn't stand on the box spring)!  But that would have been solved if I'd had help, only I wanted to do it alone.

So overall, I would highly recommend this.  It's reasonably priced, easy to assemble, sturdy and seems to be a great complement to my new foam mattress.

This was a gem.  I was hesitant about buying a matress in a box, especially online, but this turned out really well.  The matress was well packed, the instructions were simple and perfect.  Following the instructions, allowing it to "rise" for a day as instructed, this is as good quality as I could have hoped for.  It is really a nice thickness, has a completely uniform thickness and my company who used it for 3 days claims to have slept like a baby on it.  I haven't slept on it but I have laid on it just checking it out and it was quite pleasant.  I would recommend this to anyone who needs an inexpensive matress and is considering a memory foam, but is hesitant about buying sight unseen.  My experience was great.

LOVE!!! The crib sheet fits the mattress perfectly! It feels so high quality and it's soft and flannel! It's too hot for my son to sleep with now in the summer, but this is going to be our go-to mattress this fall and winter!

The Lucid Mattress arrived in a nice duffel bag and was so easy to set up, all you have to do is unzip and and unwrap the plastic and it instantly decompresses. There is no odor like a lot of memory foams tend to have. I am really pleased with the cover that is over the sofa-mattress, it seems like it will even be resilient with my little kiddo, which by the way, LOVES to use the sofa-mattress as her reading spot now. As a sofa, it's kid size, as a mattress it's a standard twin.  Im pretty picky about how my house looks, and having the functionality to have it fold into the sofa is a huge plus for me, it looks like it belongs in the living room and I don't have to find a place to store it as a mattress. As for the mattress side of things, it is great too! It is firm enough to support you, but comfy enough to hug all your curves just right! :) I highly recommend this versatile product!

My reason for purchasing this type of box spring was because I was looking for an inexpensive way to put a king mattress in my basement for an extra bedroom for guests. First, I did not want to pay the extra price for a full bed frame / box spring set. Second, I did not want to be stuck with the bulk of a traditional bed frame / box spring set. When I saw this on Amazon I knew it was the perfect compromise if it was a quality product. For the price it was worth a shot. Shipping was quick as always. Assembly took less than 30 minutes from unbox to setup. Instructions were not really even needed. The bed frame is light weight, but clearly strong enough to support a king mattress. It is a nice height off the ground. I would recommend that you use some sort of cover between the frame and the mattress to reduce the possibility of any sliding. After all, a king mattress is pretty heavy, but it could slide a little. Another note is that it will creak a little bit when first being used. The creaking seems to have almost disappeared after a few uses.

For the intended purpose, this is a great alternative to a bed frame / box spring. Plus, if I ever want to get rid of the mattress, I can fold up and store the frame.

We have an older home and we couldn't get a conventional king sized box-spring up the staircase.  This was a great solution for us.  It went together quickly - it took about 1 hour with my 3 year old "helping" me.  We found that it worked perfectly for our sleep number mattress, probably because there are a lot of slats.

Reading some of the other reviews, it's clear that some people were unhappy with the quality of the wood.  Without disputing what happened with them (I wasn't at their houses!), I didn't find this to be the case with the unit I received.  The wood was in good shape, the pre-drilled holes were in the right spots, and I got the right number of good quality screws and bolts.  So, for me at least, the unit and the hardware were all quality.

One nice thing I noticed when putting this together was that it would be easy to disassemble.  We are thinking about moving in the next few years and I'm sure I could take this apart and put it back together without much of a problem.

Note that you really only need a screwdriver to put this together.  That being said, I used a drill with a screwdriver bit and it was easy.  I recommend this product to you and I hope this review was helpful.

Update: June 2014 - as predicted, we ended up moving.  It was easy to disassemble the unit, and it went back together without a problem.  Notably, in the move we lost all the hardware, but it built well enough that I was able to improvise with parts from the store.  I maintain my recommendation.

This is a very affordable solution if you want a pillow top mattress, but I'm still on the fence about whether I like them in the first place.  They are more comfortable if you have joint discomfort but not as great for back pain.  I'm pregnant right now so I have both - I love it for my joints and don't love it for my back.

The other factor to consider is whether your sheets will fit over it.  Ours are pretty snug against our mattress as is, so I had a hard time getting the sheets over the mattress.  Long term if we keep it on we'll need to get deeper sheets to keep using it.

It was easy to set up and the material is all high quality for what it is.  I think the main thing is just figuring out whether you like pillow top mattresses and if so, this is a much easier and affordable option than a new mattress.

I was extremely happy to find this product for a king foundation, because we hate moving even queen-sized bed parts around. We wanted to upgrade to a king and this was a way to try it for not much investment or effort. (Tip: when you reach the age where your partner interrupts your sleep for various health reasons, a bigger bed might prevent separate bedrooms and thus help your marriage!)

Everything about this is pretty much like all the other reviewers say. We have used it with a 12-in memory foam mattress for awhile now, and there doesn't seem to be any problem concerning the spacing of the original slats. (Since there is a cover, I think it helps with that issue.) As my title says, the only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because of the quality of the wood: there were many splinters. Also, three of our slats were warped -- we solved that by screwing twice as many of the slats into place. (That meant we needed more wood screws, like other reviewers have said.) I don't have a problem with the quality of pine or spruce or whatever it is, but they could have sanded it better on the edges.

1) to make it even easier, see if the delivery person will put it right into the room where you want to set it up.
2) while one person could do this easily, two or three help a lot, particularly if any of you have better spatial or schematics skills
3) remember that drilling the pilot holes will create sawdust, and the pieces do splinter, so have a vacuum ready; once the entire bed is put together, you probably will be less likely to be able to reach under to clean up.
4) since the pieces do splinter, be careful or be sorry, both when handling the wood and walking around the floor (wear shoes!)
5) consider where the bed will finally be placed during the initial layout of pieces. This is so that you don't have to pivot the finished product (or even just the attached braces without the slats) when hoisting it onto the bedframe. Allow room for people bending over to assemble it, hoist it up, and turn it as necessary.
6) we may not be very mechanically inclined, but I thought some of the estimates of time in the other reviews were grossly understated. Allow yourself a couple of hours, and if you finish in 20 minutes, fine! (A corollary: If you're using a power drill, make sure it's fully charged!)

Beautiful wood, unfinished so you can stain or paint if desired. Well constructed with quality workmanship. Easy assembly. The mattress is very comfortable and firm. A bear to move around alone but once on the lounger it is fine. Requires a cover which was not noted in the ad, however, quality covers for reasonable price with perfect fit, beautiful materials and designs available through DCG. Covers are individually made-to-order and easy to install. Lovely combination. Highly recommended. However, as the lounger is a twin bed size it is large and requires more space than a chair. Easily and smoothly converted from lounger to bed.

Product is what was expected and more.  I have a tempurpedic brand myself which was a savior for my sleeping , back neck etc the last 5 years.

my 2.5 year old was ready to have his crib converted into e full size bed. debated several options, visited local well known mattress chain where much lesser quality memory foam were 750$!  the price and reviews seemed to be just right!

my son has slept great from night 1 ( has been a week since setup) and enjoys laying there inthe morning and seems to sleep deeper than when in his crib(those mattresses are not that great).

I triple checked when I received because it seemed there was no way a full size mattress could fit in the box it came in, rolled up or not.  he weighs 30lbs so not a ton of weight on it, but obvious it's great for sleeping for him.  I haven't slept on it, but I do lay down with him to read stories at night, or visit in the morning and seems of high quality and very supportive.  after this was ordered we had also ordered a Lucid by linenspa queen memory foam for the 17year old.  will update this review in a few months after some time has passed and compare the two.

I bought this for my five year old and it seems to be a very decent mattress for the price.  Obviously it's not a $500 pillow-top, but for our purpose it's working out great.  We've had it for a couple of months and it's holding up great.  The springs feel a little soft, so I'm not sure how an adult would feel lying on it for the night (I've laid on the bed with her for a while and it's felt fine, but I don't know about all night, night after night).  I love the convenience of having it shipped to my door and it was easy to unpack - just slid it out of the box, snipped the tape and it made a whooshing noise and unfolded without any more work from me.  It did take a few hours to reach it's max size and any smell that accompanied it had dissipated by the next day. I'm happy with the purchase.

It seemed people were commenting about needing slats or issues with the rails once the crib was converted to a bed.  I converted into a full size bed.  But, so the height wouldn't be too much for my 2yro son, I explored options to just use a mattress.  The mattress company have this special board that fits perfectly and does NOT require any additional support.  It's like a box spring, but only a flat version.  It was about $70...it is a fantastic choice to keep the mattress on well and in place.  So, I have had NO issues with the rails.  Now, the instructions and getting the crib changed were a different story.  The crib instructions were a little better than what came with the rails.  And, these do seem a little higher priced than they seem they should.  I'm happy though.
