I had a pillow top mattress that was a little thicker than this one. I had a memory foam mattress topper, so I figured this mattress made of memory foam would be very comfortable. Its only been out of the vacuum seal for about 30 hours, so maybe it hasnt reached its full plushness, but its not as comfortable as my old pillowtop. It does have a nice soft feel to it, and it fits the bed frame and my sheets well (I have the king sized mattress), but so far, its a little too firm for my liking.
