Review on Enhance Your Sleep Experience with ZINUS 2 Inch Swirl Copper Cooling Memory Foam Mattress Topper - Twin Size by Randi Heleotes

with memory effect or something like that. as if it were impossible to expand this shabby, shapeless little square to fit my bed (see my 2nd photo). But! It started expanding on its own and I also called my roommate to help me speed up the process and stretch it out a bit. We gently tugged/kneaded it until the edges loosened and it matched the size of my mattress (it still looks too short in the first photo, but it's actually because there's a few inches wide between my bed and the wall are). , and pillows above). This process was actually very simple and took maybe 5 minutes. He could also do it all by himself if he has enough time. TIME EXTRA: Which brings me to this: Photo #2 (immediately after unboxing) was taken at 3:45pm. Photo #1 (well enlarged and aligned) was taken at 4:50 p.m. Therefore, it expands fairly quickly. At 6:15 p.m. my bed was ready. I slept on it that night. SMELL: No weird smells even when I opened the box. COMFORT: The foam cushion is incredibly comfortable! I was skeptical of memory foam because I like a firm, supportive mattress. But it offers good support. Clings to my body but doesn't sink in around me. To make sense: I can put a drink on the bed a foot away from me and it won't move when I get up/sit down. all day at the computer, and there is no ergonomic chair at home, so it is not surprising). But I only slept on this mattress for 2 nights and already this morning while warming up I noticed that my back hurts a lot less than usual! Background: I have a *very* hard mattress underneath my mattress. This is a 6 inch spring mattress from Linenspa (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0113977EI/). As another commenter has suggested, I suspect the softness/support of this pillow is highly dependent on the mattress you have underneath. WARM: Didn't realize the bed got very hot. But in the Blue Ridge Mountains it's December. EGG CARRIER: I was afraid the egg crate design would seem weird. It is not; you feel nothing at all I was also concerned that it would make the bed lumpy and weird (I don't have a quilted mattress pad or anything; it's just a mattress + pillow + sheet). No (see photo #4). LONGEVITY: Who knows? I only have 2 days :)
