I have had this topper for almost a year and it still looks like the pic. It is very nice and lofty while adding the right amount of support.  Obviously after sleeping on it for a week or so it will flatten, but it still provides support and is comfortable.  To regain the loftiness just give it a few shakes and rotate between sheet changes.  I would also recommend using a Feather bed protective cover and/or a mattress pad to keep from being poked and to preserve the life of your topper. I happen to use both and that works well for me.  This pics I provided are current after almost a year of use.
