I've had this mattress a little over a year and absolutely love it. Note: I have compressed discs in my lower back and arthritis in my hips. I've been through several mattresses trying to find the right fit and I couldn't be happier with this particular mattress. If I could rate this higher, I totally would.When it's delivered it is a bit difficult to haul to where you want it set up so keep that in mind if you're a single person. Otherwise: Take it out of the box, follow the directions and let it do its thing! I did not notice any weird smells/odors from taking it out of the box and sleeping on it the first night.
