SleepJoy makes Sleeping a Joy! Review + Giveaway

I have a horrible back. Since having children, I thought that a "sound" sleep was a thing of my past. We purchased a top of the line pillow top mattress about two years ago when we got our taxes back, with the hopes of improving my quality of sleep and easing some of my aches and pains. I never thought that I would be so uncomfortable before I hit my middle age, never mind before I hit 30.

I received an opportunity to review a SleepJoy Foam mattress topper and jumped at the proposition. I figured if anyone could give a true review of their experience, it would be me. I received our mattress topper and had a rough beginning. Thanks to my network on Facebook and Twitter, I was told that most people took about 2 weeks adjust to their new mattress or mattress topper.

When I was younger I had one of those egg-crate style toppers, and it was atrocious. The SleepJoy mattress toppers are top of the line memory foam mattress toppers made with hybrid foam ViscoFresh Latex, which provides the pressure relief of memory foam, along with added support of latex because of its the resilient, firmer texture. When you think of memory foam you think of a squishy foam that reacts to your weight and heat. This memory foam is thick, yet breathable, and more bouncy and firm, yet super soft and inviting. It still relieves tension but doesn't leave a weird imprint when you touch it, sit on it, or lay on it.

The green tea scent that the foam has is light and minty, and fades in about 10-12 days. The topper itself has holes to help it be more breathable than traditional memory foam. The luxurious cotton cover is filled with down like gel fiber and wraps around your mattress like a fitted sheet. The cover alone is so inviting.. it's the perfect compliment to the topper.


Pros:

• No hash foam smell, nice minty green tea scent that fades
• Once our bodies adjusted, we have been waking up more refreshed than without it
• Super comfy!
• Made in the USA
• Eco-friendly
• Breathable
• Plush cover provides protection and additional comfort
• Shipped quickly
• Moderately priced

Cons:

• Can only spot clean, with kids that could be a potential problem
• Took about 10-12 days to really adjust to the new topper
• My husband didn't like the scent until it started to fade
• The kids like my bed because it's more comfortable than theirs
• "Special time" with my husband was a little difficult at first, but it was fun to experiment and learn our new bed.

I have got to say that I am much more impressed with this topper than I thought I would be. I was not expecting to be sleeping as sound as I have been. Anyone that knows me in real life knows that I used to be awake until 2am almost every night, and was lucky if I had 5 hours of sleep a night. Now, I am eager to get to bed every night, and know if I don't get my 8 hours a night lately. My sleep habits have taken a total 180 turn for the better, and I owe it to my new memory foam mattress topper from Sleep Joy.

Instead of upgrading your bed, think about purchasing a new SleepJoy Memory Foam Mattress Topper to change your sleeping habits and make sleeping a joy again in your home, so you can wake up happy!
