Honestly, I'd never heard of Christeli, I had owned a King Serta, painful.. I saw ads online for eve, ordered it and within 30 days of 100 day sleep trial sent it back. We found Christeli, the photos alone of hand stitching pillow top over memory foam lured me in. We ordered the King Versailles. It opened easily, neatly, no odor like others you read about. The comfort is BEYOND IMAGINABLE! My back doesn't hurt AT ALL, I sleep through the night, it's soft, yet conforming and supportive. I'm an all over sleeper, side, back, mostly stomache, and it still supports! Everyone who visits loves our bed. We recommend Christeli to everyone! Great mattress at a great price!
