Yes the material smells when you first take it out of the package but let it air for a few hours and it is fine.....Forget their protector cover, get something worthwhile! Go to Bed Bath and Beyond, in store or online, and get their 250 count mattress pad with 20 in deep pockets. The two make a great combination as the foam doesnt slip around. The foam comes compressed and at first I thought I had gotten the 2" instead of the 3" but as it released it is three inches. (It would be nice if they put something in the box showing what was actually shipped so you dont think you were sent the wrong stuff.) I made the mistake of "trying it out" once on the bed and really messed up. It was so comfortable I fell asleep and was almost late for work. I checked around and think this is probably the best of the foams available in its price range because it is the 5.5 density. The free shipping at the price is good too.

I ordered both this twin & the queen. Both came with some defects, so I wanted refunds. It took some time, but I did get them (having to go through Amazon's guarantee first though.) Refunds were issued eventually by All-Sleep. It took that time mostly because their auto-email wouldn't/couldn't deal with what I needed. After speaking to Amazon and All-Sleep in person, things were ironed out to my satisfaction. Thanks All-Sleep! All-Sleep is looking into what happened with these two toppers. I got the feeling that the tape did them in, but they'd know more. They'd be excellent toppers for the price, otherwise, which is why I was sad to see them go. They are less than half the price that Bed and Bath charges for their 3-inch toppers.

Be aware though, that these toppers don't come with covers, as you'd think of them. They came with mattress pads. My mattresses are Custom Comforts and so these pads were very inadequate. But with the money you saved, you could opt to... Read more

I'm pretty sure this is not the same caliber of visco-elastic foam that you find with the "leading brand," but it is close enough given that other brand's extremely high price that this is a good substitute, especially for the price. I think buying a mattress topper such as this - as long as it's 3 inches thick - makes buying an entire visco-elastic mattress unnecessary.

I am a restless sleeper and I believe I actually do experience less tossing and turning with this product because it spreads body weight more evenly over a larger area. I also have occasional minor morning back pain but I'm not as sure as its effect on that.

I never got my "free topper protector" the seller advertises but I've heard they are of terrible quality to I'm not sure I care that much.
