This is real leather and it smells AMAZING! It is NOT a king-size as one reviewer wrote (except for, possibly, in length when it's fully extended). It is somewhere between the width of a twin and a full-size mattress. Ideal for a newlywed couple. I like it. I don't know how well it will wear over time because I haven't tried sleeping on it yet.

The only drawback is, when the bed is fully extended, the "head" of the bed is LOWER than the body, so it will need to be propped up from underneath or firm pillows be used to even out the sleeping surface.
