The last few months I have been waking up with back pain, whether I was sleeping through the night or just a couple hours nap. I thought I was going to have to buy a whole new mattress to finally start waking up and feeling good again but instead I decided to give this mattress pad a try first and I have not regretted it once. No more back pain in the mornings. It is so very soft and fluffy and would recommend it to anyone
