This mattress is just as described.  It has plenty of positive reviews and I agree.  It showed up to my door wrapped so efficiently, I was able to bring it inside by myself.  I placed it on the bed frame and removed the plastic wrap.  Wha-la!  It puffed right up. In less than an hour it was it's proper size.  I will give it a full 24 hours before dressing it, just to give the materials a full day to release any odors.  That being said, it is not smelly, just brand new.  This is for the guest room, so I believe it will be very comfortable for any overnighters. I am thrilled with my queen mattress and I believe it is well worth the money I paid.
