Mel, I have not. But you need to consider the purpose. This review would steer me clear of buying it.
Quote from review:
Bought 2 rolls. One had dark spots on the foam that appeared to be dirt. The other was clean. Based on earlier reviews, I expected this foam to be very firm. It is not. I can easily squeeze it all the way through with my hands. I hoped to use it in as a camper sleeping pad, but both my wife and I sink completely through it to the floor when lying on it. This foam is much less firm than foam I considered at a fabric store, but this is also about a quarter of the price. I guess you get what you pay for. Foam appears to be as advertised. I like it in all respects except that it is not very firm.

Thanks Susie, I had read a few reviews but I did not get that far I guess, You used joanns fabric and a topper for yours right? how many inches thick was your foam?

It is actually quite low quality foam. It is not something I would use for a camper. I know new foam seems expensive, but you sit and sleep on it every day and its an important part of the trailer. I recommend spending extra money and buying Ultracell foam, from your local upholstery supply place or online.

If I read the specs right it is just very thick carpet pad.

I used 4" and a 2 inch topper. I can lay down on just the foam and I don't sink to the bottom It's really nice with the topper. Keep in mind that the Compacts had 3" foam and adding to it will raise your seat back. You may not want it above your window.
