So, I got in on this "Transparent Sleep Project" thing a while back because, honestly, I was sick of my old mattress feeling like a swamp. It showed up on April 16th, and I’ve been sleeping on it for a bit now, so here’s the real deal.

First off, getting it inside was easy enough, though it's definitely heavy (which is good, I guess, means it's not cheap junk). I let it sit for a day to fluff up, even though the site said you can sleep on it sooner.

The main thing I needed was to stop overheating at night. I don't know what kind of science is in this "Copper BioShield" stuff, but it actually works. I wake up and I’m not drenched in sweat anymore, which is a huge win for me. It feels like a mix of firm and soft—my back doesn't hurt when I get up, but it doesn't feel like I'm laying on a concrete slab, either.

The edges are actually solid, too. I sit on the edge to put my socks on in the morning and it doesn't just fold in half like my old bed did. My partner moves around a ton, and I barely feel it on my side, so that’s another big plus.

Is it perfect? I don't know, it's a mattress. But for the price I paid to test this out, I’m pretty happy. It feels like a solid, well-made bed that’s actually going to last. If you’re like me and just want to stop being hot and uncomfortable every night, I’d say go for it. It’s definitely way better than what I had before.
