This is my first matress purchase so I don't have a lot to compare it to. The mattress is seemingly of nice quality. A bit heavy to be working with my self but that's not too bad. I ordered the 8 inch mattress and I don't think it ever fluffed to the full 8. But it's still not a bad purchase. The fabric is a bit scratchy so you'll definitely want a cover for it. I just had two friends sleep over and both slept well on and it's relatively comfortable for sitting on.
