I did so research into the gel mattresses when seeking a new bed for myself. I have a lot of back issues and needed something that I did not have springs and could give me support and form with me. This is perfect and the price was better than all the others out there. The first morning I woke up and was able to get out of bed with, yes, some pain but I had movement and normally I have to take my meds and wait before I can get out of bed, it’s that bad. It’s been a week now and I am so happy with my purchase!
