Ive been sleeping on an old foam mattress where I could feel the bars of my bedframe, so this mattress has been a big adjustment for the better! I've had lower back pain, shoulder pain, just less rest and in the two nights Ive slept on this bed, they're gone!!Its not yet been 72 hours, and I did give my mattress 6 hours unobstructed to initially expand, but two of the corners are having trouble expanding. I genuinely cant notice when I'm sleeping, so this isn't a big deal. The mattress is firmer than I expected, but it's so supportive and has the right kind of give when you lay down.I didn't have any chemical smell when I opened the mattress, but that could just be from the long trip to my house lol.Overall, I'm very pleased with this mattress so far and I think it is very very worth the price.
