I Slept on the Same Full-Size Mattress for 13 Years — This Is the Luxe Upgrade That Changed Everything
Big news! I got engaged this year! Thank you in advance. My fiancé and I have been together for a whopping 13 years. And if you can believe it, we have slept on the same full-size mattress for nearly all of that time. We could have waited to put “mattress” on our registry, but since we like to take our time and our wedding won’t be for another year and a half, we said we need a new mattress and we need it now.
Enter the Glacier Apex Hybrid Cooling Mattress. Finally, a queen-size, pillow-topped, copper-filled mattress that is plush but firm where you need it, with cooling technology, and probably the fanciest mattress I’ve ever owned.
A Quick Look at Glacier Apex Hybrid Cooling Mattress
- Fast delivery
- Pillow top is so plush but still feels firm underneath

- Extremely durable
Glacier Apex Mattress Design Features That Stand Out
The Glacier Apex Mattress is the top of the line. The pillow top and copper cooling system are the standout features in my opinion. I’m a cold sleeper; my fiancé runs hot. Usually this means I’m freezing and he’s sweating, but with the Glacier Apex Mattress we have both been comfortable all night and still able to cuddle, which is the annoyingly cute part of this review.
We also prefer a slightly plusher sleep — that sink-in feeling. I know that’s not for everyone, but this mattress allows you to sink in and feel incredibly supported, providing a perfect night’s sleep IMO.
How It Performed
As soon as we opened the mattress from its box, it sprung to life. We’ve been using this mattress for about a month now, and I can say it is a great improvement from our old mattress. I don’t toss and turn in the middle of the night. I have circulation issues, and I’ve stopped waking up with numb hands, which feels like a direct link to the mattress upgrade. My fiancé doesn’t wake up sweating. It has been great for my side and back sleeping and his stomach sleeping. We haven’t been waking up with stiff necks like we used to! We’re in our early 30s! We shouldn’t be waking up stiff yet, right?!
Overall performance is everything I had hoped for from this upgrade. And it really is the softest, silkiest mattress I’ve ever slept on.
What we love
- Pillow top is plush but not too plush
- Silky soft texture feels so nice with our sheets
- Support where you need it
- Good for side, back, and stomach sleepers
- The copper-cooling technology really works
Good to know
- The mattress is 14 inches thick so certain bed frames might not work
- Also be sure to get sheets that fit a thicker mattress
- It comes rolled up in a very heavy box and there was no white glove service, so be prepared with an extra set of hands to get it inside
Should You Buy the Glacier Apex Hybrid Cooling Mattress
Short answer: Yes. Absolutely. I think this mattress is totally worth the money. If my old mattress lasted me over a decade, I think this will last much longer. The construction is solid. The comfort is beyond. And my fiancé is happy — what more could I want. We are so glad we didn’t wait on this upgrade. We’ll now have stress-free sleep as we dream of wedding budget spreadsheets, guest lists, and table arrangements. This mattress really can do it all.
And best of all, it’s on sale right now for more than $1,000 off. Get this deal while you can!
