When the bed arrived in a relatively small box, I was concerned. Upon opening, the mattress pad was rolled tightly and wrapped in plastic. The cover and bolster were also wrapped tightly separately. After opening each piece, the pad was a bit misshapen and had a considerable crease in the middle from folding, but the material quickly bounced back into shape, and there was no odor (as some memory foam pads do).The bolster was already inside the cover, and the bottom unzipped on 3 sides so the pad easily slipped in and zipped up again. The bolster zipper also unzips on 3 sides so it’s also very easy to remove it for cleaning.The cover material is soft and overall the shape of the bed is spacious yet compact enough for our small living space.We’ve had MANY different beds over the years, and this is, by far, the best we’ve bought. Just the ease of removing and putting back the cover for cleaning is awesome enough, but the materials are great quality (the insides aren’t just ripped up foam inside cheap plastic mesh like most “memory foam” beds), and it’s very minimalist yet stylish.Would highly recommend to anyone, especially for the price!
