I worried that the mattress
I worried that the mattress might a little too hard for my liking due to its compression into the delivery box. My worries were groundless. The mattress expanded nicely, and with no weird off-gassing odors. My sleeps were and continue to be sound and comfortable.
I am also a repeat customer. We bought an Essentia mattress 10+ years ago, and we still use it today. So I expect the same kind of durability from this one. So while the mattress was pricey as compared to other brands, its proven quality/durability means that the "cost per night" makes it a good value. Oh yeah, and a good night sleep is priceless.
I would recommend Essentia mattresses to anyone.
