This has helped me have a more comfortable night sleep.  It "cuddles" around your body and is super comfortable.  I have back/hip pain and I've noticed it doesn't seem as severe when I get up in the mornings.  I don't smell the lavender as much as I was expecting, but it's not a deal breaker.  It smelled great coming out of the box.  So far we've had this a week and I'm loving it!
