This was absolutely what I needed to get a restful night's sleep. I have a very hard mattress that I initially thought would help my back issues. Unfortunately, I woke up everyday with numb limbs, and an aching back. So, after much research, I chose this 2" down alternative to put on top of the bricks I was sleeping on...and after 3 nights, I could FEEL the difference in my body's response to a full night's rest. Wonderful choice, and would buy a million times over again.
