Comfort Max 300 mattress is awesome! I called the merchant's toll-free number and spoke with someone who was very helpful in making sure I had selected the best mattress for our likes and body types. My husband and I both weigh around 250lbs, so this seemed the perfect match. It arrived yesterday and we slept great last night!
I would recommend this mattress to anyone who likes a very firm (yet surprisingly comfortable) bed. We did add a 2" foam topper to soften it up just a bit which seems to be just right for us. I like that when either of us turn over or change positions, the motion does not affect the entire mattress as it did with our old, traditional spring mattress.
The feel of it is similar to a more well-known brand of "memory foam" beds, but those mattresses left me feeling like I was being swallowed up. It was difficult to move or change positions. This is not the case with the Comfort Max 300. Also, our friends paid much more for their brand name mattress only to end up buying another bed because their mattress was too hot for them and it began to break down.
It's only been one night, so I don't know how the product will hold up over time. But for now, I could not be happier with my purchase. Perhaps after we've had this a while, I'll come back and update my review.
The only drawback I've noticed at this point is, the mattress seems to be slightly smaller than our previous Cal-King, as it does not completely fill the wooden base with drawers the bed sits upon. So, there is a gap at the corners, along the edges, and a rather large one at the foot of the bed after we pushed the mattress all the way to the top to avoid the gap at the headboard. I don't think this would be much of an issue with a traditional frame and box set, but it's noticeable with our frame. But we can live with it and I would still recommend this mattress and this merchant.

UPDATE: Still Loving Comfort Max 300 After 2 Years
It's been two years now, and I wanted to give a quick update to my review. The Comfort Max 300 has turned out to be everything I'd hoped for in a mattress. We sleep much better on this bed than others we've owned. As well, we hurt less in morning than we did with the others.
Over time, the Comfort Max 300 has sunk a bit on each side where hubby and I sleep. Neither of us ever sleep in the middle of the bed, so it has become slightly higher, but nothing that would cause me to report anything negative.
Flipping the mattress is not necessary, which is a plus compared to other mattresses we've owned, however we do still rotate it. Even though it's a CA King, it's light enough to easily maneuver without breaking a sweat.
Bottom line, if I had it to do over again, I would buy this mattress in a heartbeat. And now that it has been 2 years, I'm very confident in continuing with my recommendation of it.
