This order replaces an old standard twin mattress. I’ve had a T&N full-size and a twin for several years. I like the convenience of the product arriving in a compact box and unrolling to full size, easy to place and unwrap. I also like the comfort of the mattress, solid and flat unlike standard cushion-top products. Very pleased with my purchase. Robert W · tuftandneedle.com
