I started shopping around for a mattress, comparing different models, and reading customer reviews. The model I ultimately settled on is this Signature Sleep Contour 8-Inch Independently Encased Coil Mattress with CertiPUR-US Certified Foam.
This is an excellent mattress for the price.
The many customer reviews below influenced my purchase.

I took a chance and ordered the twin size for my sons room. I LOVE it! Soft, comfortable, high quality, and I would highly recommend!
This came right to my door in a duffel bag and within minutes we had it unpacked, and were laying on it. Perfect purchase for my son's room, and my husband keeps sneaking into his room to take naps on it. For this price, you really can't go wrong. I read all the reviews here as well as on Walmarts site before buying and am so happy I got it.

This mattress (as I sit with my legs sprawled across it) inspired me to write my first online review in probably two years (I can get a bit lazy, hence the leg sprawling). I recently graduated from college; moving out of my parents' place and supporting myself and being a contributing member of society and other dumb stuff like that apparently come along with this. So, I moved to my own apartment, and for the first time in my life, had to purchase a bed. As a 22-year-old moving to Chicago to go to grad school with nearly no money, I was thinking cheap. But I had been told that "cheap" is a relative term when you're looking for mattresses; most of my friends had payed upwards of 400 bucks for a "cheap" box spring/mattress set. Thankfully, in a twist of fate, I went to Amazon and searched "mattress."
Lo and behold, there's a 180-dolla (sorry folks, price has increased since I bought it) mattress, just sitting there, all like "Hey! Look at me! I'm a mattress! On Amazon.com! Yep! The same site you buy overpriced protein powder and used Stephen King books from!" Needless to say, I did a little research and found the catch I was looking for: it comes shrink-wrapped, rolled up in a duffel bag. "Ummm...yeah, no," I thought. But, just for fun, I went to YouTube and searched something along the lines of "video of unwrapping bed that comes wrapped in plastic that you have to cut open and it inflates itself." After watching a video or two, I was astonished to see that they really do magically turn into a soft-yet-firm, fluffy, plush, bouncy lil' mattress. With the added benefit of knowing I'd be able to watch it inflate before my very eyes, I ordered.
After about a month and a half of sitting, sleeping, studying, reading, lounging, laughing, crying (I watched Titanic while laying on it, so sue me), and sulking because I have strep throat on this mattress, I decided it's only fair for me to write a review. Let me tell ya, folks: this mattress rules. I bought the cheapest bed frame from Walmart (which, may I add, is amazing), along with a bed skirt, mattress topper, and jersey sheets from Bed Bath and Beyond, and I swear this is the best bed I've ever slept on. It's soft and bouncy enough to remind you, "Hey! Look at me! I'm a real bed! With real springs! Go ahead, bounce on me!" but it's also firm enough to be like "Hey! Look at me! I provide support for the lower back you complain to all of your friends and family about all day long! I'm not like those lousy air mattresses! Go ahead, lay down and feel my support!" Also, don't listen to the people who complain that you "fall off the side." Yes, there is no wiring around the sides of the mattress, but I sit on the edge of my bed all the time and I wouldn't have ever noticed (I'm a 185 lb male -- yes I do cry from Titanic SO SUE ME). These complaints actually made me nervous about purchasing, but honestly, it's truly negligible.
There literally isn't anything I can think of to complain about with this mattress. There were no smells, it's the right size, it supports the weight of two people, the springs don't make any noise, and, most importantly of all, I've had some amazing nights' sleep on this baby. I love sleep and I'm a snob for a comfy bed; I'd highly recommend this one.

I ordered 2 twin mattresses and they arrived today. My order did not come in a blue duffle bag but in cardboard boxes and plastic wrap. They were somewhat a pain to open but we finally got them out. I am still amazed at how they are packaged and then "poof" become a mattress! I do agree with the reviews of the mattress being short (I added pictures) but then again I have read that it takes 48 hours for full inflation. Also, there is a slight smell like fresh paint, but it went away quickly. So far I am very happy with them, as are my two Boys whom I purchased these for. They keep stating how they love their new mattress. The bed so far has a medium-firm feel and I am hoping that they inflate further to seal the gap that exists length wise, width was perfect. I will update after a couple of weeks, so far I really am happy with this purchase.
