This futon has truly pleasantly surprised me. I have had futons in the past but this one is just like a real bed! My guests love it. The mattress is so sturdy and comfortable. The frame is beyond sturdy. It is a little difficult to maneuver but that is only because it is so well built and sturdy. When my dogs take up my bed I have even slept in the guest room (yes i am a sucker) and was very comfortable on this futon. It’s amazing!
