Our son loves his new mattress. He says it is so cozy and comfortable. We love that it is safe and nontoxic. It unpacked well. There was an earthy smell at first, but that has dissipated with with time. We bought several other Naturepedic products when our son was born (7 years ago) and they have all withstood the test of time. We look forward to many years with this new mattress. Love Naturepedic products!
