The "Navy" color is kind of a very dark Teal, but it is a great color...This mattress does not bend easily to fit into the futon frame, and it is definately not something that can be placed in the flat position and then back into the sofa format by one person on his or her own.  

all in all, it is comfortable to sit or sleep, and looks elegant 

I have lots of suede finish pieces and this piece has the least nap of any I have in house.  I like faux suede as it is traditionally easy to keep clean.  this fabric is more slick than textured.  

I was prepared when I ordered that this mattress is HEAVY.  if you anc a partner can't wrangle 100 lbs, be aware that you will need reinforcements.
