Under Mattress Support - Fix Your Sagging Mattress with Mattress Helper Firmer Solution for Mattresses - Twin- Single Side Coverage (King)

Guys. Look.... I don’t write fake reviews ever so please believe me when I say that I am SO HAPPY a that I hit buy on this mattress support. I typically do a lot of research, to be honest, but this time I read a few reviews and was like.... I’m doing it! Even if it only works for 5 or 6 months, it still will be worth it to me to have good sleep. Some back story: my partner and I were gifted this bed from my mom’s guest room. It wasn’t perfect but we were moving in to a place on short notice and didn’t have the extra money to spend. It’s never been the most comfortable but it started sagging on the sides we end up sleeping on, with a bar of regular non-indented bed down the middle. We both sleep hot so we don’t typically sleep in the middle. I sleep on my side and she sleeps on her stomach. I don’t know how this doesn’t kill her back but it sure does mine, plus my hips and knees. Moving on, I got the item yesterday, super quickly as usual, and put it into place about 5 seconds later. I struggled a bit doing it myself, I’m not going to lie. The mattress is heavy and the item is hard to manage because it’s not flat and stiff. I managed, though. I then looked st the bed and marveled. I could clearly see that my partner’s side was still sagging in the one spot while my side was level with the raised middle part. The moment of truth came when I laid down on the bed soon after. It worked! It truly worked! I had managed to get the support into the perfect spot on the first try AND it worked! I slept on it last night as well and YESSSSS. It really does work! I’m ecstatic. Don’t take my word for my reviews not being fake. Scroll through a few of them and you’ll see I’m very honest at all times.

Well, first of all, I've waited a number of months to be sure this thing really works, and IT DOES!!! Every sleeper's situation is unique so I will tell you a little about mine (yawn!). I rent a furnished apartment and the bed was fine when I arrived, nothing special; definitely hand-me-down (a little icky, I know). But after sleeping comfortably on it for a couple of years I noticed a definite valley in the middle. I have sciatic nerve problems with my lower back, so I thought a new mattress might make a difference. However, my landlord declined to buy me a new one, so I started looking into futons, thinking something more firm would be the ticket. I found some interesting looking ones on Amazon, but they were all more than I wanted to spend (on principle - I'm paying for a furnished apartment, after all!). Then I noticed this product and for only $59.00 (at the time) I thought why not! So several months later, using the Mattress Helper and a rigid piece of plywood on top of the box springs has restored my bed completely, so that there is no indentation in the middle and I sleep well on it again. Highly recommended!!!! Oh, I forgot to mention that at first the mattress helper actually raised the middle of my bed a little higher than the sides, so it helped to sleep right on top of the middle. Now, after a couple of months, the bed is level so I can stretch out anywhere. Consider this when you buy. If two people use the bed (or 3?!), you probably should get two and each person should sleep on his or her mattress helper to break it in. And maybe place them close together under the mattress so there is no valley between them. Make sense?

I have a 3 yo expensive all latex foam king mattress that started to sag, and I hated to spend thousands for a new bed...plus it seemed such a shame to throw this huge thing into a landfill. Since I was by myself, I thought I would try one mattress helper JUST on the sagging side- which was a mistake. It simply made a raised lump in the bed which was just as bad and uncomfortable as the sag. So I bought another MH to even things out, which worked...sort of. Because the MH was not as long as my bed I had dips at my head and feet- maybe this doesn't happen with an innerspring mattress, but my foam mattress needed to be raised the entire length in order to be completely flat and for me to be comfortable. I contacted the company and spoke with the owner / inventor of MH, and she told me they were coming out with a new MH mini and offered to send me several to try. The mini's look just like the regular MH but have fewer slats. I was sent mini's with 2 extra slats but for a king bed I really needed the 3 slat minis for a perfect fit. But the mini's I received did even out the head and foot of the mattress enough where I could be comfortable . I assume my issues with the MH not being long enough had a lot to do with the fact I had a HEAVY foam mattress and any part of it which wasn't supported by the MH would slope downward, just due to the sheer weight and flexibility of foam. The mini's fixed that issue by putting the MH under almost the entire length of my bed. I also had to put heavy cardboard under the MH because I have a foundation- not a box spring- which is essentially just a box with slats that the mattress rests on. Without the cardboard, parts of the MH would slip between the foundation slats, but once I put some support there that was not an issue. Wasn't a big deal, but you need to make sure the MH has a solid surface to sit on otherwise you won't get it to support the mattress like it should. I have now had the system in place for several months and the MH and minis haven't shifted or flattened out at all. There are so many different types of mattresses and mattress problems it is impossible to say if this solution will work for everyone, but I believe it is worth a try for most people. The owner of this company gives wonderful customer service and stands behind her product, giving you 30 days to see if it works for you. She really went out of her way to work with me to fix the issues I was having, and even followed up several times to make sure the MH and mini's were working. I feel strongly about supporting companies who care about their customers and give outstanding customer service ( often so hard to find !).... I am happy I found Mattress Helper! PS You may also want to try the mini's under a sagging sofa ....worked great for me.....I don't think the Mini's are on Amazon at this time but you can purchase direct from the company....and no, I don't work for them ( lol)....I'm just a customer like you! Update 5/29/16 ....About 6 months ago I had to bite the bullet and buy a new mattress. The helper is poly foam and eventually breaks down just like the poly foam in mattresses. So the mattress helper bought me some time, about a year. I had my parents buy the helper also and the same breakdown happened to them...helps at first but not long lasting. I also see a pretty big price increase for the product since I purchased it. Due to it's short lifespan and increased cost I'm downgrading to 4 stars. Still may be worth a shot for a short term fix, and I still think this small company owner givers great service...but don't expect a long term solution to a sagging mattress. PS.... If you are looking for a new mattress check out the many online mattress companies...Most are so much cheaper, higher quality, and stand behind their products MUCH better than retail stores.
