I purchased this product (2 mattress toppers) for Christmas. It arrived 10 days before scheduled which was much appreciated. The toppers unfolded quickly and there was no offensive smell as reported, they are comfortable and worth the cost of purchase. My sister and I consider them to be a good buy. DhJennings

I purchased this product for my mother who suffers with severe back pains. She has used this for a little over a month now and absolutely loves it. She is sleeping through the night and wakes up with almost no back pains.

I bought this for my mother, she had to stay in bed after surgery and I wanted her to be comfortable. she used this pad for a month and she loved it. Of course it is no substitute for the tempuropedic mattress but it is very decent.

I bought this mattress pad a few weeks ago and am only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 stars because of the “newness” smell that others have written about. I let the mattress pad air outside for about 12 hours before putting it on the bed, but it still has the new smell (a few weeks later). It’s not so bad that it’s a hindrance, it’s just obvious if you really try to smell it (I’m sure some Febreze would likely take care of the odor). The mattress pad itself is really comfortable. I feel like I have a brand new mattress and am sleeping really comfortably. This was a really good purchase. Caution however….when the foam pad is shipped, it’s rolled very tightly then shrinkwrapped in plastic. The outside edges get kind of mashed together and hard. When I first opened it, I thought it was going to stay really mashed and hard and I’d have to return it, but after airing it out for several hours, the foam found it’s softness and natural shape. Before putting it on the bed, let it expand to it’s natural shape for a day or so (and try to do something about the odor). Just don’t expect to take it out of the box and put it on the bed straight away.

I’ve had this foam mattress for two years, the odor didn’t last once it was aired out in another room for a few days. The mattress is too short by about an inch or two, a queen won’t fit the regular queen mattress, so I purchased a king for my queen. No surprise! The king was too short for the queen! This foam topper will follow the contours of the existing mattress, any depression in the original mattress will show up under the topper. If you have an old mattress, bite the bullet and buy a good mattress.

This is a terrific buy and a great topper. It is the best I’ve seen (and used).

Wondering if we are all reviewing the same product!!
As usual with Amazon, delivered very promptly with no hassle!!
Had the Febreeze on standby, as I was expecting an awful smell…opened the box…..no smell. Thought maybe it had to be unwrapped to experience the smell….unwrapped it…no smell.
Expected it to be a wadded up mess….it wasn’t. It was neatly rolled and it just as neatly unrolled….fit my king size bed perfectly.
Of course I read the measurements beforehand, then measured my own bed, and was satisfied that it would be a perfect fit if their measurements were true. They were.
I opened it immediately to get it on the bed ASAP when I got home from work, so it would have plenty of time to do whatever it needed to do so I could sleep on it tonight….heck I could sleep on it 5 minutes after putting it on the bed, only because it takes that long to get the sheets and everything on it.
Wanted to write this part of it while it was all still fresh in my mind, and will update with a comfort review later.
But so far, so good!!

This mattress topper is fantastic. It fits the bed perfectly.
You will notice, it does make your mattress quite a bit higher than it was. I really noticed this, and so did my small dogs. Took them a little while to get used it.
I’m using this on a sleep number bed, and this is just the cherry on top.

Product arrived okay but topper was, and still is, too smelly with chemical odors to use. Topper was stained when it arrived. Topper does not go to edge of mattress. Bad product, needs to be removed. I would not recommend buying this product. A waste of $125.00.

We have this on our queen bed, which mattress was good but now feels a bit too hard to our aging backs and has saggy spots. This foam topper fixes both issues, as is to be expected. The 3-inch is a good size and it’s a pleasure to sleep — or more appropriately “to sink” — in it every night. At 2.5 lb/cubic ft, the density is medium, which is good enough.

The foam arrived rolled in a big box. It was not as compressed as I thought — some reviews make you think it’s compressed in a dark hole and then will expand to fill your whole house… it’s not that dramatic!

However the smell of new foam toppers is a known issue — all foams I’ve seen do that anyway, it’s not just that one. The original smell is not only nauseating, it gives me immediate headaches. I can’t stress that enough: you must let the mattress air and expand in a *ventilated* non-living area for at least 2 or 3 days before using it. Don’t rush it — in case of doubt, let it air one more day rather than be deceived by the chemical smell, as it will be nauseating at first. Put it somewhere out of sight in a ventilated area, such as in the basement or the garage. If after 3 days you can stick your nose on it and not feel the urge to run away fast, then you can consider moving it in the bedroom.
After a month or so of use, there’s still a slight curious smell the first time I’d get in bed, but nothing dramatic. It’s such a pleasure to fall asleep and wake up on that thing, it’s totally worth it.
