The Lucid Mattress arrived in a nice duffel bag and was so easy to set up, all you have to do is unzip and and unwrap the plastic and it instantly decompresses. There is no odor like a lot of memory foams tend to have. I am really pleased with the cover that is over the sofa-mattress, it seems like it will even be resilient with my little kiddo, which by the way, LOVES to use the sofa-mattress as her reading spot now. As a sofa, it's kid size, as a mattress it's a standard twin. I’m pretty picky about how my house looks, and having the functionality to have it fold into the sofa is a huge plus for me, it looks like it belongs in the living room and I don’t have to find a place to store it as a mattress. As for the mattress side of things, it is great too! It is firm enough to support you, but comfy enough to hug all your curves just right! :) I highly recommend this versatile product!
