My boyfriend and I wanted to make our bed softer while also providing more support. His back has been sore and we think it was from my mattress. We came across this and it is perfect. It's soft, forms to our bodies, and doesn't get hot. It feels like we're sleeping on a cloud! I'm sure the more expensive toppers have done added stuff but we have found this too be perfect for us and totally affordable. There was a slight odor when the product first came out of the package. I thought it smelled like some kind of chemical and my boyfriend said it smelled like linen. It went away within an hour though. I would definitely buy this again if I needed another topper! I strongly recommend it!
