Great topper. Moderate level of firmness with just the right amount of squish (I prefer a firmer sleeping surface, so this is a great balance). I’m also a hot sleeper, and this seems slightly airier than my previous topper which has since helped me cool down at night. Does have that little weirdo packaging foamy smell, but just keep your windows open andor put a fan on for a few hours and it’ll be gone soon enough. Textured topper cover is nice too.
