Once I put this Mattress Topper over my crummy new uncomfortable mattress, I was amazed at the difference. I injured my spine years ago and have had back pain which got worse as I got older and this foam pad has made my mornings much easier. I highly recommend it to anyone with back pain who doesnt want to or cant spend thousands on a therapeutic (orthopedic) mattress. The memory foam is wonderful. Its like sleeping on air!
