I'm being generous with three stars here.

My RV sofabed is impossible to sleep on without a topper. I've been using a really nice foam topper that's getting too heavy to manipulate in my old age.

Pros: This fiber mattress topper is pretty. The outer fabric is soft and smooth.

It's lightweight and easier to manipulate than heavy foam. I store it behind the sofabed during the day, so I need something I can handle.

Cons: It's annoyingly linty. This thing coated the entire couch upholstery with lint that added many minutes cleanup time to making up the couch in the morning. If I continue to use it, I'll have to put a blanket or something on the couch under this pad. Yet another step in making and unmaking the sofabed. If I had known this, I wouldn't have bought it.

It's not nearly as supportive as an inch or two of foam. It crushes down to lumpy spots. The parts that fluff around you aren't supporting, they're more like just touching. I got a couple painful back twinges during the night.

It's hot. In summer it's going to be hotter.

I may have to go back to the foam. I want to give this a few more tries. The lighter weight is a huge factor, but I need at least some support.

I have bought 2 of these and I LOVE them for a couple of months. They just don't last. I rotate it every time I change the sheets. Eventually they start to bunch up in areas and I have to shake them out and try to manipulate the stuffing through the cover to even them out. After 4-5 months I have to do that every day. It is heavenly right out of the box, but I don't like having to get a new one a couple times a year! I guess I will though because now I can't live without it.
