The mattress is clean and looks great, but the 8" thickness is a bit of a misnomer. We're disappointed, because it's clear the mattress won't last very long. Yes, it is 8" inches thick... until you squeeze it, at which point you notice the filling is thin and fluffy, which means it squashes down easily and won't offer good long-term support or stand up to wear and tear. If you sit or sleep on this mattress on a regular basis, you'll likely soon start to feel the frame beneath.
