I contacted BB months ago asking about the difference and the person told me these are basically older stock, but they're all made with the same materials in the same place.
Not sure that person knew what they were talking about as others have mentioned likely differences.
I did end up buying the 12 inch standard though and it's nice. I will say, if you're on the heavier side (I'm ~200lbs), I'd go for the firmer 10 inch. I wish I had. This mattress does sink in after a few months.
I think from my research that's just natural settling in, but it made it less comfortable for me. The firmer one would be better for slightly heavier folks I'm betting.
Anyway, for $200 I would say this is a pretty dang good deal based on my experience with the standard.
I got my 10" firm a few days ago, but I'll preface this by saying that I'm no bed expert.
The mattress I HAD was a medium, and after 7-8 years it had become unbearable. A couple springs were poking up, and it was sinking in certain areas.
This firm is exactly what I needed (back/stomach sleeper).
It's a lot firmer than what I expected from a bed in a box. The top 1" layer of foam is soft, but the mattress has very little give overall. To me, it's a good compromise between my previous medium mattress and sleeping on a hardwood floor. I've seen it described as a 6-7/10 firmness - like I said, I'm not an expert, but I'd probably put it at a 7-8/10. I'm not sinking into it at all.
It inflates in about 10 seconds once fully unwrapped. No real off gassing or fumes to speak of, only a slight smell. It's one sided. I've seen people complain about the edges on similar models, but the edge support on the firm feel about as good as my prior spring mattress. It inflated to the full 10", if not slightly more.
I'm just now waking up on day 4 and I'm very comfortable lying here.
Obviously I can't speak for how well it will hold up, but I'm happy with my purchase for now.
This looks like a great deal. I have a question for a bedding novice.
I have old mattresses with box springs. Can these mattresses go on top of a box spring or does it need a foundation/base?
I have had the Aurora on a box spring for over a year with no issues. The Walmart version has been on a metal frame (the kind with extra height for under-bed storage from Amazon) that is used as a box spring with no issues.
The Walmart version did have a slightly stronger chemical odor that lasted a day or so but completely dissipated pretty quickly after a couple of days, btw.
the best bed that will last you longer than any other is three 3" latex toppers stacked up.
get extra firm for the bottom two and medium for the top.
great support and will sleep cooler than anything.
these are the most expensive parts of premade beds, make it your entire bed for less.
This is interesting, but do you have a link for latex mattress toppers? It seems the price of 3 toppers based on my search would exceed the prices in this deal.
I bought the california king 12" last night due to space constraints over a traditional king. Thankfully they were the same price in 12" so I didn't get bent out of shape about it. I have a BB plank luxe upstairs but needed another bed downstairs to limit the steps my dog has to climb on her bad days. The plank is the firmest mattress I've ever slept on and the nights where I manage to fall asleep on my back, it's great. Otherwise my arms fall asleep and it's pretty awful. Hoping the 12" of this is a good in between and I can Goldilocks as needed.
I saw a reddit post about affordable non toxic mattresses and they had BBedding arctic dreamfoam hybrid as the best option.Just ordered the queen for 559$.No flame retardants or fiberglass.That was the only model listed as good value for your money,taking into consideration foam density and the lack of chemicals.No other model was listed
Reviews don't look to hot, some potential bait and switch and some complaining about edge support
4.3 out of 5 is pretty good. Sure there are some negatives but if you don't like it take it back. Nothing is perfect and if you only read negative reviews you might as well give up.

Once it's out of the package you can't return it you can only exchange it, they fall under the air mattress category.
I take all reviews into account and there aren't many on this item, several also look fake like the shill reviews on Amazon.

Man, I saw this and got a little giddy but I'm checking myself. Some day I'm going to splurge on a BB Signature Sleep. There's no way this is close to that quality, right?
I'm currently sleeping on a no-name hybrid bed in a box and if I needed a mattress right now I would absolutely pull the trigger on this.
I would go firm and customize with toppers as needed. The good ones are pricey but worth it. You can make a bed more soft but not really effectively more firm.
What topper for a side sleeper?

Definitely depends on budget and preference. Maybe a 2" medium latex (sleeponlatex)? I have a BB 3" titanfoam topper on my mattress right now. I've used soft and firm latex toppers and really wish I had a medium over the two.

Standard 12":

Signature 12":

So the signature has 5 layers vs 3 on the standard. the 14" standard seems to have 4 layers (2" foam base layer).
