I did however purchase one, as it seemed an affordable alternative to replacing my old memory foam mattress, which when dismantled, resulted in several layers of egg crate style foam layers ( 2) with a 4 in memory topper, all zipped up in a nice heavy duty fabric cover. That being said, we replaced the old worn out mattress topper with this new one, and of course the proof is always in the pudding. We opened it up and unrolled it, and let it acclimate for 48 hours in the spare bedroom, where it aired out and its chemical smell did dissipate. We used it for several nights and while it did appear to provide some much needed relief and improvement to our current situation, it has now given up the ghost and appears to be weakening even just after 2 weeks of use. I quite frankly don't have the energy (or nerve) to return it to HD as it would at this point take the strength of 10 men to get it back in the box, so we will keep it, but with much trepidation. Could I recommend it ? possibly if it was on sale , as it was when I purchased it, but sadly, I cannot give it 2 thumbs up ( nor 5 stars) , as it seems to work initially but quickly turns out to be yet another mediocre mattress top and does not meet my expectations of wow, exemplary, and outta sight.
