I have looked at a lot of mattress pads. I selected this one based on other reviews and I am very pleased. The padding is substantial, not thin like others I have seen. It fits my twin xl mattress perfectly. It softens up my latex mattress. Although I will say if you are looking to make it feel like a pillow top mattress, it does not do that. But it does add a nice layer of softness. The quality is excellent.
