My husband and I are older with all the aches and pains that go with age! LOL. I purchased this for our bed because it said it was soft.  Its wonderful to sleep on. We had a charcoal 4 mattress topper before. It was good but hard to turn in the night to different positions. This new topper is excellent. We can turn over and do not disturb each other. Our joints feel much better also! For us, this mattress topper would get 10 stars if this was a choice!
