Pros: Mattress feels great at first
Cons: Wears out fast, impossible to flip, becomes very uncomfortable very soon
The Bottom Line: Stay away and DO NOT be lured in by the soft comfortable feel you get in the store. It will not last and provides for an uncomfortable nights semi-sleep.

| nowears's Full Review: Kingsdown Ultimate Pillow Top |
I have had this matress for 5 years and have been complaining about it for the last 3. My wife and I are not very big people, combined we weigh less than 300 pounds. Despite wrestling with this heavy mattress to flip it every month, it has permanent indentations which are very visable. Now we each sleep in what amounts to a small bowl pressed into the mattress. After spending what I thought was big money on a huge mattress (my wife sent me shopping without her and she freaked when she saw how big this thing is) I am very dissatisfied with the longevity of the mattress. I am now in the market for a new mattress, the only thing putting me off now is that I have no idea how I am going to get rid of this one. It deserves a gallon of lighter fluid and a single match. I know a matress should not have to last forever, but more than 2 years is not unrealistic (neither is the 5 I have given this one.) Every tired day I spend now I kick myself for buying this mattress AND for not getting my tired self to go get a new one (new but different.)
