I had a extra-firm foam mattress due to back injuries, worked for a while butty nutty wide couldn't sleep on it any longer. So we wanted to try a plush firm mattress. This matter is incredible, wish I had bought this to begin with. It is the most comfortable mattress. When it arrives, I couldn't wait to sleep that night. My wife slept all night with no going to the couch. I read about a smell that others were talking about, but nothing. Try it, you will love it as much as we do.
