The mattress was so compact that it arrived in a medium size box. I was shocked the full size mattresses was in there. Once unpacked and opened it only took about an hour for it to reach its expected fullness. It wasn't too heavy. I was able to move it by myself which was nice I didn't have to find help. It is truly a full size as it fit perfect on the frame I already have. The memory foam is AMAZING! It is by far the best sleep I've ever had. The foam forms right to your body and it feels like sleeping on a cloud. I also love how the memory foam quickly reforms to normal shape once I get out of bed.  The mattress seems to be made very well as there were no snags or threads anywhere when unpacked. I highly suggest this mattress to anyone who wants a soft mattress.
