The pad is actually very comfortable, I ended up keeping two of the smaller ones. But the size is much larger than you think it’s going to be. It comes out of the box of perfect size, and then expands by several inches in a matter of hours. I followed the advice of another reviewer who said that she ordered a 5 inch pad and it only was 2 inches but my 5 inch pad was like 8 inches in a matter of hours.
