Just unwrapped a king. Now to see how this plays out. I couldn’t really find any user reviews. Coming from a Casper Wave Hybrid. Was going to go back to latex but then this one peaked my interest with the responsive foam layer on top and the individual cubes on top of each coil, supposedly creating a one-firmness-fits-all.

# UPDATE: 1 WEEK on the Tiami Mattress Just some context... I'm 5'7", 160 lbs, athletic build. My wife is 5'6", 140 lbs, average curvy build. We are both heavily side sleepers but also sleep in other positions. **FIRMNESS** When you stand next to this Tiami and press your hand down on top, it feels plush. Your hand immediately squishes in. But when you lie down on it, it definitely feels firmer. If anyone is familiar with the "float on top" feel of a latex mattress, this is very similar to that. But what I noticed is that the heavier parts of you, like the buttocks/hips, sink right in, while the light parts of you, like your calves, are floating on top. When lying on my back, I feel equally supported from my shoulders to my heels. If I was to put a number on it, from 1-10 with 10 being firmest, I'd rate this at a 7. Also, this top layer of Energex foam, reacts like latex, not memory foam. The sink in is immediate, as is the push back. There's no climbing out of a hole. Turning over from one side to another is easy. **MOTION ISOLATION** I have not felt much movement from my wife at all. Maybe she's not moving much now? I have no idea. But my sleep has not been distrubed by her movement, at least as far as I can tell. **OVERALL COMFORT** We got the Tiami mattress 7 days ago today, in the evening. We unboxed it and unwrapped it just hours before bedtime. It appeared fully expanded when we went to bed. Each night, as we have gotten used to a new mattress and the mattress breaks in (and probably expanded further) it has gotten more and more comfortable. We are at a point now were we both look forward to getting in it at night. Neither of us has had any discomfort. No pain, tingling, etc. My wife was having back issues with the previous mattress. **SLEEP POSITIONS** This mattress is billed as a one-firmness-fits-all, with its individually foam-cube-topped coils. If you are a strict back sleeper, you will probably love this bed. I have also been very comfortable on my stomach, although I do not spend a lot of time in this position. Side sleeping is the only position I'm currently a teeny bit unsure of, but this may just be a matter of getting used to the new feel. As I said earlier, it's more of a float on top feeling rather than a plush sink-in feeling, so my hips aren't sinking in as much as before. Which is probably a good thing. I have not any ANY discomfort issues. I obviously can't see my spine, but it may be better aligned than it was previously. **OVERALL THOUGHTS SO FAR** We are liking it, and at the moment I believe it's going to be a keeper! We are both comfortable and getting good sleep. We will see how things go over the next few weeks and see how my thoughts on side sleeping progress. I will do a one-month update next. Meanwhile, if you have specific questions, I will do my best to answer them.

Yep, just like most other mattresses. LOL Casper for example... one of their's contains "Align Memory Foam" topped with "Breathe Flex Foam". Tiami is similar with a layer of memory foam topped with their "Energex" foam. All I can say so far is that I had seen somewhere that the Energex layer was compared to latex in responsiveness and although it's been a minute since I've slept on a pure latex mattress, I'd say this top layer does react quite a lot like latex. After a week i'll give some initial sleeping/performance impressions.

I got this at the end of December, and it is the WORST toxic smell AND TASTE ever! Been sleeping on my couch in the meantime dealing with the store. I've had it over one month now. Do not recommend. Casper Wave Hybrid. No.

I had the original Casper and I liked it for maybe 6 months then I thought it sucked. Years later, I somehow talked myself into trying the Casper Wave, and I thought (and still think) it was excellent, but as they note many times in many articles on their website, buying a mattress is largely subjective. Frankly, it's one of the few things I splurge on. Most of the rest of my furniture in my Master bedroom was purchased on Craigslist or eBay (or a relative getting rid of it). Frankly, now that I think of it, virtually all of my furniture in my Master Bedroom came from Craigslist or eBay!

This is exactly, EXACTLY what happened with my $2000 Casper. A lot of people on here love the crushed boxed mattresses, but I would never buy one again unless it’s from Costco (and can be returned for free for virtually any reason at any time). Casper made every excuse in the book to replace it. I replaced it with a Beautyrest (on sale for $200) and it’s sooooo much better than my $2K Casper.

In my opinion, the hybrid mattresses are more firm than memory foam mattresses. Of course, it all comes down to personal preference. We prefer a firmer mattress so we went with the Casper Hybrid (we own four of these).

I like a medium firm and this one was perfect for me. It’s been a year now and it’s still holds about the same

bf and i bought the hybrid casper 4 years ago. its the comfiest mattress either of us have ever use. when we stay elsewhere, all we talk about is how much we miss our own bed lol. we’ve made sure to turn it every 6ish/12ish months (depends when we remember) to help with longevity. its still in good shape, but i will say in about another yearish it will probably be sagging eta: on sale right now

To be fair my bf doesn’t think it’s changed at all. I definitely feel that it’s softer, but maybe it won’t actually be sagging in a year or two. Apparently the padding does get softer after awhile, so maybe that’s all i’m feeling. Regardless, we’ll be casper buyers for life because it’s so damn comfy

Need a new mattress as ours is over a decade old now and getting roughly as supportive as a sofa cushion. We have a Casper - a hybrid mattress of the bed-in-a-box stylee- and would have instantly replaced it with another, but they don't exist in the UK anymore. Had a look at similar mattresses at Emma, but the reviews are polarising to say the least - a lot of reports of 'dips' which isn't really encouraging for two relatively large people who sleep on their side. Are there any 'internet mattresses' that are worth buying, or do we need to go down to John Lewis or Dreams and start lying on the display models in our outdoor clothes?
