It’s very soft. I only gave it a 4 bc even with the nonstick pad underneath, it still lacks thickness that I had anticipated would have been better with the added pad as many reviews said but it hasn’t really helped that much. Perhaps recommending which pad to help add thickness would be useful Overall, however, the lack of thickness hasn’t stopped my kids from laying out on it while they watch tv ) I was also happy at how fast it was delivered and the free shipping was a nice touch.
