Bought this in queen size for $100 at Sams Club. After reading many reviews I was a little skeptical about this item since it is a gel foam which is usually more expensive, measured 2.5 inches which is half an inch more than more expensive toppers I had looked at, and the density was 4lb instead of the usual 3lb again on more expensive toppers. And the reviews I read stated that it was indeed 60 x 80 so it covered the entire mattress as opposed to many others that for some inexplicable reason make theirs an inch or two shorter and narrower than the actual mattress size. The only negative thing I found in the details was that it was made in China. But at such a low price I figured it was worth a try and would be simple enough to return if we didn't like it. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. After CAREFULLY cutting through the many layers of plastic wrap we unrolled the topper also very carefully because it starts out very tacky and tends to stick to itself. Left it on the bed for just under 4 hours and when I went back in it was completely expanded to a full 2.5 inches and completely covered the mattress. It also came with a mattress pad that seemed to be good quality with 100% cotton top and nice stretchy polyester sides that would fit most deep mattresses. Although my husband claims he noticed an odor as soon as he opened the box and that he could smell it every time he walked into the bedroom it did not seem to bother him at all. And as for me I didn't smell anything at all. I even put my face down to it before putting any bedding on it to see if I could detect an odor which seems to be a big complaint, but I did not smell anything ... and usually I am the one with a very sensitive nose! It was when I actually laid down on the mattress to go to bed that the first disappointment came. The mattress is very firm... not hard but firm.I am alost 300lbs and I didn't even sink down into this topper. I have fibromyalgia and have a lot of tender points and have difficult sleeping. I had slept on a memory foam mattress topper at my sister-in-laws several months back and it was wonderful. It hugged my body and relieved any pressure and I slept the best I had in years. I guess I was expecting something at least similar but this mattress is more firm than our 10 year old worn out pillow top mattress. So if you are looking for a nice cloud-like feel when you lay down this mattress is not for you. However if you have a really hard mattress and need just a little give but with good support this would be an ideal fit. I venture to say you could put this on the floor and sleep comfortably. it is a great value for the quality but just not what I was looking for so we returned it.
