Over winter break my college aged child said their bed was too hard (the one they picked out). Their dorm bed has a 4” foam topper mattress. So I got this for his bed at home.
The photos are of it right out of the bag.
It came in a box, folded in thirds lengthwise, compressed and wrapped in plastic.
The outer cover of the topper does zip off and has elastic bands on the corner to hold it in place.
It is heavy and took a little bit to lay it on the bed. It was already filling out after I took the photos. It feels very soft. I did not think it had an overpowering smell. This will go directly on top of the mattress, put in a bed bug bag and then mattress pad and sheets.
