After reading some of the reviews, I was a bit hesitant about purchasing this topper but I must say Im glad I did!  It arrived yesterday, FLAT but I released the wrapping and it fluffed to about 2-3 inches thick very quickly. I put it on the bed and.....zzzzzzzz.  It was exactly what I needed, very soft, it almost cuddles you. One (slight) negative is the part that goes around the mattress, it is kind of flimsy but if you are careful I think it will last.
