I've never loved my bed so much as I do now that I have this mattress topper. I was having bad lower back pain and would always wake up sore and stiff in my hips. That stopped immediately when I started sleeping on this. Since it doesn't have anything to keep it on your mattress, I suggest getting a mattress protector to put on top of it, which also helps to protect it and reduces the slightly crinkly sound it makes.
