Pros: No better bed for any price. We like it so much we bought another one.
Cons: None so far
The Bottom Line: We liked the queen 11" so much that we bought another mattress from them a full size 9" for another bed.

| litender's Full Review: BedinaBox.com PacDown Plus Mattress |
I was unable to find many comments about 'bedinabox' online, maybe 3 total, but they were all rave reviews. So I called the company & spoke to Tracy who was just covering the switchboard but she was informative & helpful & when she told me that she has one & really likes it she sounded so sincere not like a salesperson I took a shot & bought a queen size 'bedinabox' mattress. I paid $499.00 & if I had ordered it a bit earlier in the day I would have gotten it on Friday, but I had to wait til Mon for it. Needless to say all of a sudden my old mattress was feeling pretty good again, it was like when you go see a doctor for some ailment while your in his/hers waiting room you feel all better. I waited most of the day for the UPS truck to show up but being the start of Christmas shipping season the truck came later in the day then usual. UPS used a hand cart & helped me get the box in the door. It weighs 100 LB. Even though I knew how the bed was shipped, I'm still looking at this box & thinking, WHAT DID I DO? I walked the box across the floor & decided it was too late in the day to start draining the water (old bed was a waterbed that was made up of individual tubes filled with water) & trying to get it out of the house. Also the day was very very cold & I figured I'd give the mattress a night to get acclimated to the house temp. As I looked at this box & again thought, WHAT DID I DO? There is no way this is gonna be good. That nite I was like a kid trying to sleep on Christmas Eve. The next day I opened the box & sitting on top was a mattress cover I looked at it & then I realized hey this is a pretty good cover, it has a plastic back to prevent the mattress for ever getting wet & the other side is a soft material, so I'm thinking if this is any indication of things to come this will be great. The next package was the down cover, since I didn't really know what to expect I thought it would be thicker, but again I'm think cool, maybe this will work out. Then I looked back in the box & there is a!
large,
really heavy duty, bag that has a draw string top & part of a handle visible. I gotta tell ya I should have just cut open the side of the box, but noooo I had to take it out the top of the box, needless to say I can be a bit thickheaded/stubborn at times. OK so I wrestled with this for a few minutes & I won. Now I'm looking at a large plastic duffel bag that has my new mattress in it. All of a sudden I again think, WHAT DID I DO? I actually walked out of the bedroom & looked at my old mattress thinking I could put it all back together & refilled by the time my wife got home. I walked back into the bedroom & figured what the he**, so I got the mattress out of the duffel bag which was kinda easy only to find that there were 2 more layers of plastic wrap on it. The first layer is kind of a thin plastic that just keeps the mattress rolled up, so I carefully removed that & then I realized that the mattress is in a vacuumed sealed bag, that has been folded in half & rolled really tight, ergo the outer plastic wrap. I wasn't sure how to place the folded mattress on the bed but I figured this was they least of my problems since here I am staring at a very very VERY thin piece of foam think WHAT DID I DO? I placed the mattress on the foot of the bed & realized that I had to start cutting away the plastic bag so that I could unfold it. I got to tell ya I was really nervous & excited. As I started to cut into the edge of the bag I could hear air being sucked in, once I was able to unfold the mattress it really started expanding, I had no problem standing on the other side (uncut plastic side) & sliding it off of the mattress but all the time I'm doing this it keeps getting thicker & thicker. I just stood there in amazement, this thin wafer had grown to an 11" thick mattress. After getting over my amazement I tried to figure if I had the right side up. All it took was just 1 press of the foam to realize that all was good. Again like a little kid opening a new toy I hurriedly put on the mattress cover & down top. T!
hen the
moment of truth I laid down on it, EUREKA, this is really comfy, & unlike a Tempur-Pedic, that I had tried awhile back, when you roll over it comes back to being flat fast.
Now I have only slept on this mattress for 8 days but I love it. I have had spinal surgery & I see pain management doctors, but I really am feeling a bit better sleeping on this also I'm not waking up all nite cause I'm uncomfortable, after my surgery if I want to roll over I usually sit half way up & move into a new position. I'm finding that I tend to sleep in the same position most of the night. I'm so happy that I took a shot & bought this mattress, I've actually recommended to someone that was looking into buying a Tempur-Pedic for their parents, I don't know what they did, but for me to recommend something it has to be borderline good to great.
This might sound kinda strange but I love my 'bedinabox' mattress, it's just so comfortable.
If anyone wants to ask me any questions please feel free to email me.
