Product was exactly as described except the odor was so negligible I went ahead and put it on the bed once it fluffed up. Having this topper is like getting a new mattress. I generally prefer something a little more firm but over the years my hips and shoulders have not appreciated a firm mattress. I also used to object to these sort of soft products because Id sink on so deeply I would have to wake up a bit to roll over. However at 4 inches sinking in seems to be more limited while giving a nice soft surface. Im a convert.
