The picture represents just the second after I unpacked it- BUT - it took 1 hour to unfold itself fully. Picture doesn’t do the judgement - I slept for three nights on it now and it feels like sleeping in a cloud. Don’t be fooled by “too soft” when you just lie down- be NOT fooled when you wake up sooooo rested! If you want to not buy an expensive mattress, this is a good choice to upgrade your current one.
