My husband and I bought a king bed about eight years ago and it's incredibly comfortable. Since we've had it for awhile and we obviously get older every year, we occasionally have some back pain from sleeping in strange positions. My husband, in particular, has woken up in so much back pain so I finally decided to look into foam mattress toppers. I did a lot of research on what kinds are best and narrowed it down to this one and another. In the end, I purchased this one because of the overall percentage of positive reviews, the price, and the fact that it's a two-inch versus a three-inch mattress topper.This mattress topper is made of foam and has gel swirl. It's an aqua blue color with different shades of blue mixed in. I didn't receive any packaging information with mine but the product description page states it's made in the USA. It measures two inches thick exactly.When it arrived, it was vacuum-sealed in a plastic wrap type of packaging. It's not particularly heavy, especially since it's wrapped up and looks like a giant rolled sleeping bag. I unwrapped it and immediately moved it into our bedroom since it starts expanding right away like a Chia pet. If you want to make it easy on yourself, I suggest bringing it directly into your bedroom to unwrap it and let it expand there. Once it's expanded, it's big and would be awkward to move around.It took a few minutes to "grow" and then I moved it onto our mattress. It fits perfectly! I was unsure of how it would fit with our sheets but it seems to work well. On top of our mattress, we have this mattress topper, then a mattress pad, our sheets and everything fits just fine. I don't have to yank our sheets down at all to make them fit! Before I put our sheets back on our bed, I felt this mattress topper and it's cool to the touch. It has a new, but not unpleasant, smell so I let it air out for several hours before making the bed.Fast forward to the following morning. I recall laying down and feeling as though I had just landed on a big, puffy cloud, though I really can't say for sure since I've never sat on a cloud (has anyone, really?). Anyway, it was super comfortable and I sighed with bliss. I woke up the next morning and realized I had slept through the whole night! My husband even commented that after just one night, his back felt 50% better. Since then, we continue to sleep very well (not including when our kids wake us up) and I really look forward to going to bed!We've had this mattress topper for a month now and it's working amazingly for us! We both love it and it's so comfortable. I'm glad we decided to spend a bit more money to get this one because it's been very beneficial for both of us. It fits well with our sheets so we didn't have to buy special deep sheets and it helps us get better sleep at night. Paired with my king-sized shredded bamboo pillow, sleeping on this mattress topper has become one of my favorite activities! If you are looking into buying a mattress topper for your bed, I highly recommend this one! It's a good price, is extremely comfortable, and is holding up well so far. If my opinion of this mattress topper changes as we continue to use it, I will update this review and change my star rating accordingly. Until then, I give this product five stars and urge you to invest in one for a good night's sleep!
