We bought the Forkey Daybed for our home office/den. We needed extra sleeping space for guests, but also didn't want the room to solely be a bedroom. So, the daybed was a great option. The size is perfect, as it can be decorated to look more like a couch when not in use, but can easily convert into a comfortable sleeping space as needed. We bought an 8" mattress, which worked out ok and is very comfortable. However, a 10" mattress might have been a better choice. Any thicker than that would probably take away from the appearance of the arms, as the side pillows (which come with the bed) would sit too high. Overall, we love the look of the daybed for the price. Very happy with this product.
