First of all, sleeping on high quality memory foam is a dream. Perfect amount of support on anything you put on it. I put a 2" toppper on an 8 year old futon that you could feel the frame under it and it was like sleeping on my parents $5500 bed.

*Two Things* you have to know, density is everything. 3lb is cheap, 4lb is average and 5lb is premium. 2lb has no 'memory' to it thus very little support. Easy to push in and it basically comes back out instantly.

Second is...IT AGES. I'm on my second Serta 4lb topper and both were awesome until about 8 months before I noticed that there's less and less 'memory'. At 11 months, it feels like 2lb foam that doesn't provide a lot of support but rather foam you would think you'd pack stuff with. I compared areas that would be compressed often and the most to unused corners (near the feet) and there was some but very little difference. So it seems use isn't the factor but rather age. I stuck a glass object on it and measured the depth it sank and was going to measure the time it took to sink but it was basically instantaneous compared to when it was new when it would sink like somebody in quicksand (can you tell I'm an engineer...).

So memory foam...Awesome...but has a shelf life. Something to keep in mind when considering to go foam. I don't know if the mattresses have the same issue but if I had to guess, they would probably be less affected.

I own a Tempurpedic mattress, which is my bed at home. I also own the Sleep Better 2-Inch Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Topper, Queen, which I used on top of an Aerobed 18in Raised Queen Premium Guest Bed, Queen and slept on 4 nights per week for a few months to save commuting to San Francisco. I now also own the Sleep Better 3-Inch Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Topper, Queen, which I'm using atop a friend's regular mattress that's otherwise like sleeping on a slab of granite.

First off, the foam for the Sleep Better mattress toppers is not the same as the brand name Tempurpedic foam. The Tempurpedic foam is significantly more dense, meaning: 1) it takes a bit longer to respond to your weight / body heat; 2) it gives you significantly more support; and 3) it takes a bit longer to recover when you move.

I actually slightly prefer the 2" topper on the Aerobed to my $1200 Tempurpedic mattress [boy, do I hate to say that!]. The 3" topper on the granite-like mattress is good, but is my least favored combination.

The 3" topper is too soft and too thick. I sink so deeply into it that it's actually some effort to roll over at night. I got used to it after a few nights, and no longer wake up to roll, but I found it annoying. It's certainly not a bad experience. If I hadn't tried the other 2 options, and was only comparing it to sleeping on the granite mattress from h*ll, I would've been thrilled with it. But knowing what the other options are like, it's my least favored of 3 good choices.

The Tempurpedic is a fantastic mattress, and I'll certainly keep it as my primary bed. My only niggling complaint is that, being temperature sensitive, my sleeping experience is different in summer vs. winter. In the hottest month of summer, the mattress is just a bit too soft, and my back isn't optimally supported. In the coldest month of winter, the mattress is a bit too hard. It does soften up after I've been in it for a few minutes, but it's noticeable when you first get in it.

I really like the combination of the Aerobed and the 2" topper. The Aerobed let me adjust the overall firmness of the mattress and provided all the support. But the tufting of the Aerobed results in deep divots in the surface, which are not comfortable. The 2" topper smoothed out the divots and provided excellent cushioning, without being so deep that I sunk into it and lost the mattress's support.

The brand name Tempurpedic products are definitely superior to all competitors I've tried, so if you can afford them, go for it. If not, the Sleep Better products are good options. I recommend the 2" topper over 3". It's more comfortable, cheaper, and your sheets fit more easily.

I'm writing this review from my bed which I now find to be so comfortable, I don't want to get up.

I originally bought this to put on a hard futon that guests sleep on.

But I found it to be so comfortable that I'm using it on my bed now.

It arrived compressed and needed about 24 hours to expand to its full size.

Even at its full size, it is a 1-2" smaller than my queen size mattress.

I think this is on purpose so that your fitted sheets will still fit.

It did smell a little but that went away in a few days.

I recommend airing it out in the garage or on a patio.

I have been using it for a month now and I has definitely improved my sleep.

I used to toss and turn a lot more. I would wake up in the middle of the night and find my arm was numb.

Now the bed conforms to me and I feel less pressure points. My wife also feels she gets better quality sleep on this mattress and doesn't feel as achy when she wakes up.

Honest reviews on Sleep Better 2-Inch Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Topper

The foam mattress really is wonderful to sleep on, however, the plastic odor is extremely strong. So strong, that I still smell it after 2 months. I would return it, but it really has no guarantee to speak of.

If you are sensitive to "new car" smell, purchase something else.

A mattress covering would be nice too. It doesn't come with one, so expect little pill balls when you change sheets.

I bought this as a gift for my mom, so I cannot comment on what it is like to sleep on, however, when I began looking around for a Memory Foam Mattress Topper I encountered a huge variety of products, prices and problems associated with them: primarily, toppers which didn't fully expand when released from the rolled and squished manner in which they are shipped and toppers with an unpleasant odor that never went away and frequently caused the users headaches. I had almost decided that this type of mattress topper was just an unreliable product, but after reading the previous reviews from Amazon customers on this product I decided to give this one a try, knowing I would be able to return it if it didn't work out. It is exactly as described! It looked terrible when opened up, but had fully expanded and was perfect within two hours and has no unpleasant odor at all! If you are considering a memory foam topper, this is the one!

Received this item today Friday January 18, 2013. The item I purchased proclaimed to be wood. Upon opening the package everything is compressed engineered wood with a birch veneer covering. It is far from being Hardwood as stated above. I ;am thoroughly dissatisfied with this cabinet. Why advertise Hardwood when it is a cheap engineered compressed wood, similar to flake board? I would like to send this item back to Amazon. I can't imagine how I could repack it and I certainly would not pay for shipping after being duped about this purchase.

When my husband and I unboxed this unit it had 2 long (over 6" each) scrapes (took off the wood) along the 3rd edge from the top, dead center. Since it was packed so well, we think it happened in the factory and they didn't want to admit it and get in trouble, so they shipped it. We discussed returning this 100lb item for an undamaged one, but I decided we should be able to fix with wood putty touchup. I hope I am right. It took about 2 hours for mostly him to put together. They provided wood glue for the dowels, but it was hard as a rock. Directions could have been better, but they were OK. I like the size, height and hidden electronics shelf (black screen). Not sure what shipping would have cost, but with Amazon Prime it was free shipping, and delivered on the day promised.

EDITED TO ADD: I complained about this fireplace having no insulation to the 3rd party seller, BestChoiceProducts. I had no problems with them offering to pick it up at their expense, and they refunded the original shipping also. BCP is great to deal with.

**********************

This fireplace was intended to replace a gel fireplace I bought 22 years ago that had seen better days.

It's cute, that's one thing I can say about this fireplace that's positive.

First, just some nit-picks. The depth measurement is inaccurate it's 6" front-to-back as opposed to 3.25" as stated in the description. And we know for this cheap price it isn't going to be genuine copper. I'm glad it isn't since bright copper wouldn't look as good as this. This is a dark burnished *copper-color painted steel* with striations in it to look like streaked wood-grain.

Now for the important gripe a safety issue: There's a reason this gel fireplace is the cheapest one sold here at Amazon. It's poorly built when compared to my old gel fireplace which had insulation attached to the back wall. The back wall is made of black sheet metal and the flames sometimes flicker and jump way over 12" high; width-wise, they sometimes touch the metal sheeting. This metal sheeting has only 1/2" at the most clearance from your wall. Drywall is especially vulnerable to these flames and heat. Hanging this on a plaster or brick wall I wouldn't be as concerned. My old fireplace had fiberglass insulation attached to the back of it, between the back wall of the fireplace and the living room wall.

I plan on returning this. I'm friends with a firefighter, and he said he would not install this fireplace in his own home as the safety of it concerns him also, especially installed against drywall.

AS A SIDE NOTE: I think most gel-fuel fireplaces are safe. I know since I've had one for 22 years! They can come in handy if you have a power outage in the winter and you need heat. I'm total electric so I have put it to good use when there's no electricity just recently the temp outside was 20 degrees, I used just 2 cans of fuel, and they burned for 3 hours and the temperature on the indoor thermometer dropped just 1 degree, keeping my entire home warm (using my old fireplace, not this one).

I love this little fireplace, and my mom who i bought it for loves it as well. The only downfall is you have to order the fuel online. I could not find it anywhere locally. It is beautiful, and light weight. It matches perfectly to the rest of our furniture. Its definately a show piece. make sure you dont buy the junior sized gel fuel, get the full size 13 oz cans or they will sit to far down in the holders. Also, the holders are the perfect size for jar candles.

I'd previously ordered a similar item from another retailer, however I wasn't pleased with the finish and ended up returning it. I like this item much better. It looks just like the pictures on the website. The seller was responsive and shipping was fairly quick ordered on a Monday and item arrived on Saturday via FEDEX ground (CA to NJ). Installation was easy just a little measurement to center it and mark the two spots for drilling holes. I am a female homeowner and really appreciate the fact that it's fairly lightweight so I could install it myself. It's in my bathroom over the garden tub and it really creates a luxurious feel. I'm looking around for someplace else where I could use another :). I am very pleased with this purchase.

Honest reviews on Oil Rubbed Bronze Gel Fuel Wall Mount Fireplace Fire Place

I needed something to keep an unheated TV room warm and I did not want to buy an electric heater as there were no additional electrical outlets available for a high wattage appliance and this fit the bill. I did not wall mount it, but instead, placed it on large paving stones it keeeps the room nice and toasty. No complaints.

I really liked the look of this fireplace. It was constructed just as well as other fireplaces from other manufacturers. The only real difference is that this fireplace doesn't have a fire protector on the back like others do. Although it would be easy to add something to the back. Even though I did not keep this particular item I would still recommend it to others who are in the market for fireplaces of this sort. The finish was a little to dark for the look I was trying to obtain in my room.

Fast and easy to assemble and mount. Has a sleek & sexy look to it and heats up your room in no time. Definitely one of the best on the market! I have a similar one that is a free standing floor type which works well but not nearly as sturdy built. It does have the convenience of it being out of the way on the wall it takes up floor space so this gives same benefit but having it on the wall is even better and out of the way.

Pros compared to the other ones on the market are:

Pros-

-It works great to heat any area but provides 3 different levels allows you to adjust it to what level heat you need instead of a lot of the other models just have the one level on or off switch only.

Built using real glass, metal, and rocks unlike the cheaper models that use plastic fake glass doesn't look sleek and sexy on the wall like this one does when mounted.

-This has an emergency safety shut off switch which surprisingly most don't have.

-The small easy remote control allows you to conveniently turn it on from anywhere unlike most that manually turn on and off which is a feature most don't have and you will want since its mounted up on a wall.

Cons-

-It's built well but it is heavy so it does need to be mounted to a stud or wall that you can support it like you would a flat screen TV monitor because same weight if not more than a flat screen it's size.

-Again it is heavy so shipping is more costly. (But worth it!)

I even enjoy having the lighted fire screen effect on even when I am not using the heat option with it. It's realistic and stylish look that gives the very realistic illusion of a real looking fire making it work as an interactive art piece as well!

I AM BEYOND HAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT. Amazing price and you really get way more than what you pay for at this price!!!!!

I bought this to add some depth to my Family Room. I chose this model because the rocks looked real, not knowing that they actually give you real rocks. Also installation was a breeze as long as you have a stud finder or you know where your stud is located. At least put two screws in a stud and you will be all set.

Pro's

Authentic look

Heats my Family Room/Kitchen and that is a huge space

Installation is straight forward

Cons

None

I purchased two of these bellows, one for home and one for cabin. It works very well and is a handsome design. It does exactly what a bellows should do. The air is directed right where you need it.

Pros: Works well, no air leaks, can be directed on embers you need to catch fire.

cons: A little small. It takes more pumping to get the fire going, but once it takes, you're set!

I have a gas hot water heater that goes out when the wind blows, and I live in Chicago, where it blows often and with great energy. I think it is wind left over from Chicago Politics. Anyhow, the heater is located in a little closet that is hard to reach, and it's a long way from the little door to the pilot light. These matches were just the thing! They light easily, burn well, and they light the stupid water heater first time every time. If you want them to light a fire in your fireplace, I would think they would do that as well. They are long enough that the flame that bursts up from the charcoal lighter fluid you poured all over the briquettes will not singe the hair on your arm when you apply the fire. That in itself makes these a purchase worthy of the investment. You will not be burned.

Electric Fireplace with Mantel and Multicolor Stone Facade
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

I purchased this product in Oct of 2010, and the heating unit gave out by Jan of 2012 (slightly over a year later). This product looks great in my house, the worked great the first winter, however, when starting the heater the second winter, it made a very loud grinding noise. The noise quit after a little time, but eventually came back, shortly before the heating unit died altoghter. I called the company today (it died a good month ago, and just now getting around to calling..Feb 2012) to get the response of "since this product is 2 years old, there is nothing we can do. You need to do some research on your own to find out how to get it fixed. You could call the Manufacturer but because of the age, they won't do anything either."

I'm disappointed in the short life of this product, highly disappointed in the customer service of the company (and btw, product is slightly over a year old...not 2 years old), and highly disappointed that this company is not willing to stand behind their product, or even offer suggestions of how to go about getting it fixed.

I just got my fireplace this afternoon. It came very quickly and the delivery service called ahead to let me know when they were coming which was nice. It came completely assembled, just plug it in!!!! It looks really really nice in my small cottage type home. I know it isn't real stone due to the weight of the unit, but it looks and feels really real. The compact size is perfect. Check the measurements since it looks bigger in the picture. The mantel looks like the one on my fireplace growing up. The fire looks so real its just funny! It warms up really quickly. Down side, there is no remote and the blower continues to blow even if the room has reached the temp it is set at. That makes no difference to me really. I am so pleased with my purchase!!!

This fireplace is so real looking its hard to believe it was shipped fully assembled as well. It looks great if you have a more rustic manly decor look going. It's great for a smaller house or townhouse but itsnt that small that it doesnt look very real. The stone also is amazing looking the picture I believe gives this no justice and the value compared to other electric stone fireplaces is about half the price. This is a must if your looking for that rustic look and keeping warm at the same time.

I purchased this product for my foyer/living room area. I am very happy with this fireplace. I wouldn't say it's the most authentic-looking fire, however, as far as electric fireplaces go, it is realistic enough for me. I put this in my foyer which is part of my living/room study. The fireplace looks terrific, and we put a 42-inch samsung above it on a wall mount. The mantle is very heavy, and the unit looks like real stone. It is exactly what I wanted. I now have a "homey" atmosphere, TV above it, and the extra warmth is what I needed in this room.

although made out of fiberglass, the stone looks pretty real. the color is a little bit darker than the photo on Amazon. the top and bottom of the fireplace is a light greenish color. before this purchase I looked at some electric fireplaces at my local lumber stores and must say that this flame looks less realistic than most of the others I have looked at. It also has a glass front instead of the wire mesh front witch I like. The heater puts out more heat than I expected, it heats my big living room but i do have a very good insulated home. The only reason for 4 stars is the fake looking fire. i will try to post a video of the flame if I can.
