Mattress is amazing and very comfortable, only problem is I ordered the wrong size and it’s a bit too long for the bed, so when you order a special size make sure it’s a bit shorter than the actual bed size to fit in

Very reasonably priced mattress, and a proper mattress for a European single (200cm length), something I was finding difficult to find!
