I researched natural latex mattresses and was looking for one that met most of my criteria and my budget.  After reading other reviews, I chose this one.  I live alone and was concerned about getting the box in my home.  The box was manageable to pull inside and my son-in-law came over and helped me get the mattress out of the box and unwrapped.  There was no smell and it went back to normal shape after placing on the bed.  Seemed a little firm for me but I am getting used to it.  My back isn't hurting in the mornings when getting out of bed.  That is the best part!!  I may add a feather bed mattress topper just to see how I like that.  I would recommend this mattress to anyone looking for a value and quality mattress.  Not to mention the natural materials.  Love it!!!
