I must admit, I was hesitant purchasing this mattress topper. I purchased one of the "best" mattress's about a year ago. Paying around 5k for both mattress and headboard and found myself sleeping horribly as this mattress was stiff as a board. I needed to find some comfort. This mattress topper did the trick. Not thick enough to make you sink but enough to contour your body, I am now sleeping much more comfortably. And of course, thanks to overstock, it arrived in no time. I read many of the reviews and there is a chemical smell but it dissipates within a week. I am very happy I purchased this item and would recommend it without a question.
