Over all I was pleased with the mattress. It comes in a really small box which makes it easy to move throughout the house. Once unwrapped it starts to inflate pretty immediately. The picture I included is what it looks like right away after being unwrapped. The only negative for me is it does seem to have a strong odor to it which is maybe from being wrapped in plastic for so long. Overall, I would recommend but not a top item for me to purchase again.
