Bob-O-Pedic Mattress Ratings
The Bob-o-Pedic mattress report below is based on over 70 owner / consumer reviews and experiences. The data was gathered using an unbiased, accurate methodology.
| Owner satisfaction | fair | 73% of Bob-O-Pedic owners included in our research are satisfied with the mattress. This percent is somewhat lower than owner satisfaction for memory foam beds as a whole (81%). |
| Durability / longevity | fair | 10% of owners report premature sagging or development of body impressions within the first three years. This is somewhat higher than the percent for memory foam beds overall. |
| Price | good | Bobopedic 8 starts at $400, and Bobopedic starts at $800. Low price / perceived value is likely the main strength of the bed, report owners. At least 20% say that the mattress is at least somewhat similar to more expensive brands, namely Tempurpedic. |
| Less pain | fair | A fairly strong benefit of the mattress, but at the same time about 20% of owners complain that the bed causes pain for a variety of reasons. (See mattresses and pain relief for more analysis.) |
| Firmness variety | Poor | Basically, one firmness level is offered. Bob-o-pedic is considered to be more firm than soft. About 10% of owners describe the bed as having excessive firmness. |
| Motion isolation | Good | The mattress absorbs and isolates movement on the bed from one person so that the other person is not disturbed. |
| No initial odor / off gassing | poor | The main complaint by owners. A significant number (at least 20%) report moderate-to-strong off gassing. (See memory foam off gassing for more analysis.) |
| Easy to move on | fair | Bobopedic uses lower density foam which generally makes moving on the mattress or getting up off it fairly easy. |
| No sleeping hot | fair | 3-5% of consumers report that the mattress is a heat trap. |
| Good for sex | Fair | Memory foam bed owners often have differing thoughts on this issue. (See mattresses and sex for analysis). |
| No noise | good | The product is silent under all conditions. |
| Dust mite resistant | fair | See mattresses and dust mites. |
| No turning / flipping | Fair | Turning of the bed is needed on occasion to avoid sagging and uneven wear. The design is one-sided which means the bed cannot be flipped. |
| Lightweight | fair | As is the case with many memory foam mattresses, Bobopedic can be heavy to move and maneuver. The "8" model is less thick and therefore less heavy. |
| Warranty | good | The warranty is 15-20 years. The entire warranty length is non-pro-rated which means there is no cost to you to repair / replace mattress, not including transportation costs. (See mattress warranties: what you should know.) |
| Return policy | good | Bob's Discount Furniture has a 30-day return policy. (See returning a mattress: what you should know.) |
| Customer service | fair | Customer service quality can be inconsistent. |
| Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings | poor | Bob's Discount Furniture which sells Bob-O-Pedic has a "D" rating. A poor Better Business Bureau rating may mean that a company sells low quality goods and will not stand behind its warranty. |
