I read a good post from last year where someone had purchased the Costco adjustable split king memory foam set and am hoping someone can provide an update or additional reviews of the bed which is the Sleep Science Emma 10" visco as well as the experience with the adjustbale base. Since a year has passsed those owners should now have a good amount of experience with it but I am sure there are also others that own the set or at least the mattress.

Costco's return policy is outstanding so there is not much financial risk - just inconvenience. I am thinking of buying a Tempur but figured I should at least try this out since it is significantly less costly and they will take it back if I don't love it. With that said, saving money on a piece of junk still leaves you with a piece of junk. the reviews on Costco are excellent but I am always looking for more.

I purchased a memory foam set based on well over 1000 mostly glowing reviews from Wal Mart last year (Spa Sensations as I recall) and it was absolutely too good to be true. The reviews were unbelieveabe - and there were so many of them - but at the end of the day we got a king sized brick once it expanded and it was a pain in the neck to return since I had to lug a King sized mattress downstairs and strap it to the roof of my wife's Lexus SUV. While I didn't lose out financially it was definitely an inconvenience. I am getting ready to have another instance as I will return my current Sealy Posturepedic Barryton model when the new one comes - I don't care for it either. Luckily it can be returned but unfortunately it came from the local Costco and not mail order so I have to do the returning myself - it's simply a pain in the neck no pun intended. If I had to return the adjustable bed it would be less so since they will come and pick it up but it's still a nuisance.

I look forward to hearing from some existing owners - especially those who have owned it for some time. Details posted below.

Thanks!

Memory Foam Mattress:
 
Enjoy the therapeutic comfort of a visco memory foam mattress with the Sleep Science 10” memory foam mattress.  The mattress has 3” of Sleep Science premium visco memory foam comfort layer with medium/firm support. It also relieves pressure points with its top layer of visco memory foam, yet supports body weight with its supportive base foam. 

This 10-inch mattress features the Sleep Science patented Wedge, edge to edge support system, which increases and stabilizes the sleep surface, offering 20% more sleep surface and extends the life of the mattress. It also features a 2-inch air comfort layer in the middle of the mattress. The air comfort layer is made of an enlarged cellular material to allow the flow of air between the top and bottom layers of the mattress to neutralize the temperature of the mattress as it absorbs body heat. This ensures optimized comfort throughout your sleep experience. The mattress is covered in a soft velour jacquard fabric.
