I ordered this mattress for my son's bedroom. The mattress came vacuum sealed and folded up. It took a little over two hours for it to fully expand. It is soft, squishy, with cooling effect, no weird smell at all. My son really love his new mattress and it's been a week now since he first used it, I noticed he's having good sleep and he doesn't get over heated. Overall a great product for the price and it is made in USA.
