It is just what was described, and the mattress is very supportive for both my husband and myself.

We love our water bed and weren't ready to go to a traditional mattress, but we wanted more support. The hydro-support mattress was a perfect fit for us. Would purchase again.

We have been using the bed for about a week now and can't complain. It's everything you would expect from sleeping on a watered without the usual sea sickness. I'm on the verge of getting fired because I can't get up out of bed. It's too comfortable to leave.
