Continental Sleep, 2" High Density Foam Mattress Topper, Twin

Because I did not want this item to end up with lower than top score, I had to click top star in the category of softness which was poorly entered by whomever deicdes how to write these categories. Most reasons why mattress toppers are bought is to add more firmness to a suspected sagging mattress which happens even when buying an extra firm or super firm mattress. This topper, as I also did not want to spend alot of money, has sufficient firmness to prevent my body from feeling the middle of the mattress dipping instead of staying evenly firm. I sleep better on very hard feeling mattresses. But this time, not willing to pay more for a new mattress just now, which is why I bought this 3 inch thick topper. The question should not have been for how soft, but for how firm. For now, since i just got it today, it feels firm and adding the extra layer my back needs. How long it will keeps the firm density I want and need is unknown to predict in this survey. However, it arrived promptly. However, since it did not arrive in its originbal manufacturer's box, there should have had a piece of paper slipped onto the item reassuring a customer that it may arrived thinner, but soon expands to the advertised depth. It arrived at 2" thickness and as soon as the final wrapper was removed, it rose to a full 3" depth which is what I needed. Advice to share: I bought a larger bed sheet ensemble than my actual bed size to accommodate the added thickness of the topper on my mattress.
