I would give this a 4/5 rating - it is high quality, does not "poke" you like I was worried a featherbed would, and gives my extra-firm bed the cushion necessary so I can sleep on my side without pain. I bought it after staying on a Marriott featherbed where I had the best sleep ever. I give it a 4, not a 5, because as a first time featherbed user I didn't know what a workout it is to "fluff up" the bed every time you make it! Overall, I think you couldn't make a better decision buying a feather bed.
