Just received it and I’m excited to review. It’s quite soft and has some elasticity. Lined with cotton fibers, it looks fluffy but flattens when you lie on it, similar to slightly upscale hotel pillows. No strange smell, and the packaging was thorough. It makes me feel comfortable when I lie on it. Very relaxing. Just the right amount of bounce. I would buy this type again if I need more. Definitely worth the money.
