Am I correct in presuming the "GEL" is real ... and cooling! Very important to know. Not clear from some of the reviews!

No it is not cool. I only had it for about a couple of months and it already has holes.

Not sure what you mean about "real," but the mattress is definately cooling. My wife and I have bought several of this type of mattress's and this is by far the best one we have bought!

The foam padding was/is great. unfortunately, the very expensive air bed we bought to put it on sprang a leak after about two weeks.

In my honest opinion this is not a fake. I also believe that amazon couldn't legally sell a fake. Flowerbomb smells amazing and the scent lasts for days. This is exactly what this product gives. I'm happy with my purchase and I don't regret it or think I have been ripped off. I believe I got a great sale discount on a normally pretty expensive product. Hope this helps?

I think you misunderstood me. From reviews I read the gel is supposed to keep it from shocking your hand while you are holding it but still shock the part of the body that you're using it on. Does it shock your hand while you are holding it and using it on your body? I want to use it for neck pain.

I was told the device actually makes the gel harder ... besides drys faster. FWIW

In my experience when they get old the gel solidifies. If it's at normal viscosity you can consider it fresh.

Yes it's 100% the real product! Exactly what you would buy in the spas etc for half the price!! Put it in your cart and buy it! �

Okay, so I spoke with someone at Phytospecific, explained my hit or miss experience , and informed the of the disparity between the two packages and the drastically different results. She advised one that if the product has a dry crust on the top of the cream portion of the relaxer to NOT use!!! This due to oxidation and it is not advisable to put it in your hair. I told her that if that is the case it should be clearly written on the packaging so that consumer are aware. I've been hearing a lot about people receiving packages that are NOT sealed. DO NOT USE!!!!. I've come to the conclusion that it's best to purchase this product from authorized retailers. Sephora , Ulta, Neiman Marcus,Nordstoms etc. I'm gonna do the same and post my next results here. Hope this helps! Eve

I would say real . . looks just like ones sold by stores, etc. And it REALLY works.

Bill, I was unaware of fake issues. It looked real, packaging appeared to be authentic. My issue was with the actual operation of the product which was very drying on my relatively oily skin.

This is still memory foam...just with gel mixed in. The gel is a cooling agent, where regular memory foam can be rather warm.

I wish I knew, Tom. I did purchase one of these devices. It helps in the morning, when I apply it to the sides and back of my heel (I have a heel spur poking into my Achilles tendon, and I'm anticipating surgery for that in January). It does seem to warm and relax those areas somewhat. But you don't use a conducting gel with it. I'm guessing that the terms for these retail devices are not applied as stringently as one would hope. I wish you good luck, if you decide to use it. From my own experience, I would say it's decent, though not outstanding, help for small areas. And it takes about 15 minutes to get an effect. So, I am an impatient person and don't always want to wait... Take care!

I purchased it and it was the real stuff, it was not watered down. The consistency of this gel is different than normal gel with "fillers" and silicones...but that is why it works so well for my hair styling method. I follow the curly-girl method -- if that helps at all.

The gel makes it cooler to sleep on....if you are the type to feel heat from memory foam, the gel is the way to go.

As far as I know it is genuine. Like the other respondent, only problem I had was with the pump, but I've had that issue before with this product. That problem in and of itself makes me pretty sure it's authentic. I love the product. Interested as well in the organic product...

The girl where I tan said the same thing! I think it's because they don't want to lose money and have you buy it in their salon. Mine was sealed and exactly like the lotion sold in stores so I am saying yes it is absolutely legit! I love this lotion and it works better than any I have ever used and for a price that's WAY better than 120.00 in salons I will use it all the time!

Trust that it is working.. This is actually a very old and time tested technology inside the unit. You know those little bags of silica gel you find in some products? This is a big case packed with them. Silica gel absorbs water and with some added (chemicals) magic turns color. The water is "baked" back out of it via a heating element in the unit. If you plug it in, and it gets quite warm.. the unit is working. There are no moving parts.

The gel pulls the heat from your body into the cool gel. I found as the gel absorbs the body heat, I move around a bit an dfind a new cool spot. My son took one to the National Boy Scout jamboree in West Virginia this past summer where the temps were very high. He slept comfortabably in all that heat. In answer to your question, gel is just naturally cooler than body temp. Highly recommended item!!
