This topper an improvement over my old topper. It has a nice cover, which my old topper did not. I will have to wait until later to see if the cover can be taken off easily, washed, and then put back on without any shrinkage or other problems. The topper is firmer that my previous one, which is a good thing, because a too soft topper would just expose you to the underlying mattress one's trying to improve on. The only negative is the smell. It's not a deal breaker for me, because it's not a horrible smell, but expect it to last for weeks before "maybe" finally going away for good.Added much needed comfort to my too firm memory foam mattress. It is soft but not too soft, I don’t sink to the hard mattress. Very supportive & provides just the right amount of cushion. Not squishy like some toppers. I would say this is the perfect topper & for the price, well worth it.I’m like the “princess & the pea” if you remember that story. I need just the right amount of comfort to sleep. I have bought 4 other toppers & I guess they made nice gifts because they didn’t work for me. This topper adds just the right amount of support to give great sleep quality $ comfort. It also has given me quite a bit of pain relief.I just really sleep more comfortably. I highly recommend this topper(and I’m very picky!!!)I received my Emolli Memory foam mattress topper a week ago. The instructions stated to place on bed. The odor would leave in about 3 to 5 days. After 6 days, I washed, my sheets, blanket & mattress cover due to the odor it collected from the mattress topper. I even had it in my hair, and night gown.(I run an air purifier, and table fan with the window open hoping that would help.)I slept on it after doing the above, the odor is still there but not as strong. You will be warm, even though the advertising states it is cooling. Don't believe it. This is my 3rd topper, the other 2 were made in the USA, but I slept very warm. That Is why I decided to purchase a different brandThere was no need to lay it out for a day to flatten out. It rolled flat immediately. No smell as I've read other brands do. It's comfy and I think it depends on your bed how firm it will be. Don't expect it to replace your mattress. It does give me a better night's sleep.Does not help with keeping me coolAt night plus it slides off the bedSleep qualityNot as great as I thought it would be. It has a distinct odor, like body odor. Disappointed customerLove it!
