The problem is not with the mattress itself, but with the ultra-cheap cardboard-covered box frame that is falling apart. If you have a good platform bed, and don't need the box frame, it would be better. Be sure to get the 5lb density foam, not the lower density types. I'm looking at a Select Comfort bed now.
