Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This memory foam topper is excellent. Although, it's important to note that the lavender scent of the topper was SUPER strong after first being unpackaged. Seriously, I'm pretty sure your entire house/apartment will smell like you're cultivating a field's worth of lavender crops in one room within moments of opening the plastic. I loved the smell - it was delightful! - but it was overpowering for my husband to a point where he had to leave the house for a few hours as I opened windows and let the scent diffuse. I'll be honest, I was excited to get this topper onto our bed and cut the fluff time down to a few hours as a result (I believe it's supposed to air out flat for up to 24 hours). Despite this, the foam had fully expanded within that few hour time frame. After re-dressing the bed, I did what any sane person would do and threw myself onto it like a starfish. I sunk into the memory foam and seriously considered just going to sleep right then. I should reiterate the point made by other reviews: if you do not let this topper fluff up by airing it out as recommended, it will NOT reach the advertised 2" thickness. I guarantee this is why some reviewers are complaining about the lack of thickness - impatience. The topper WILL be almost flat within the first hour of opening. Keep in mind also, this is memory foam and not some other synthetic foam like the old school yellow egg crate. This means that the cells of the foam are very fine and the material is extremely susceptible to tearing if stressed. This is unavoidable if the topper isn't treated gently, so ignore the reviews complaining about tearing. Our bed sheet was loose and the topper started sliding towards the head of the bed; foolishly, I only loosened the bottom corners of the sheet and tried to pull the topper towards the foot of the bed. I tore the topper slightly where my thumbs were holding on, as the topper was stuck to the mattress. It still works despite this - but this is just an example of why you should exercise caution and know what you're buying. I will undoubtedly purchase this topper again once the current one has been worn out. I am deeply satisfied with its performance.
