The Belnick mattress is a gem! I totally didn’t expect the comfort of this mattress to be anything special, especially when you get it out of a box. It totally impressed me and I’m a picky person. I’ve mattress shopped in the past and it takes me weeks to find something I like. If you like soft top, but firm enough so you aren’t sinking totally in, this is for you. It was super easy to unpack and had great instructions on the bed. I was expecting an odor, but there wasn’t one. It didn’t take long for the mattress to take shape, but it did take a few hours before it was fully formed.
