This mattress is incredibly soft. That is a big plus for me but those looking for something firmer, be aware. This is not great for sleeping on your back without support under your legs or if you’re a stomach sleeper. The initial shipping and unboxing were straight forward. The mattress itself is pretty heavy though so I would definitely make sure it’s where you want it before you take all of the wrapping off so it’s easier to maneuver. This is a tall mattress as well so sheets will need to be a little bigger or you’ll want something to secure them if you don’t like them sliding off. For context, I am 5’1” and about 130lbs and I share my bed with a 70lb dog.
