I was on the hunt for a mattress for the bed in our guest room. The bed is a platform bed so I wanted something with support, that had a firm feel but not TOO firm- this bed was perfect! Arrived vacuum packed in a box.. I just cut the plastic off and it filled up quickly. I gave it the full amount of time until I tried laying on it, which I suggest! I didnt notice any bad smell like the other reviewers pointed out. Overall- its perfect if you're looking for something with a bit more support but not too stiff!
