I am so pleased about this topper. I have been dealing with a lot of aches and pains due to standing all day for 20 years as a stylist and it was becoming a real problem because of my mattress. It is only a few years old, but what I bought was not the same as what I tried in the store. I finally decided to do some research on toppers and this one was not only a great value, but with the gel technology I thought it would not hurt to try it. After 3 weeks I am amazed at how much more rested I feel and the aches and pains in my shoulders and lower back are so much less and I have more energy thanks to a great night's sleep! So pleased!
