Met all expectations! The pad quickly expanded after pulling it out of the vacuum sealed package and was easy to get in place. I purchased the 3” with ended up being perfect support for me and my husband. It is so comfortable and I have been sleeping so much better since getting this mattress pad! The *only* thing is that it probably needs a cover and not just sheets over it. It can be torn fairly easily and needs more protection. We haven’t had problems with it tearing with the sheets on, but our toddler bit a chunk out of it before we got sheets on.
