I was nervous at first to get a memory foam mattress, as I have never had one and didnt know if I would like the firmness of it at first. But when we got it I just fell in love with it. You literally sink right into the mattress when you lay on it, feels amazing either way you lay on it. It took aboue 24 hours to rise and it was ready to go! It did have that weird smell but that has already gone away! I have already recommended this mattress to multiple people! For the price of it, you cant beat that especially for this type of mattress!
