Love the concept of this bed but my 12" mattress shifts down on top of the footboard each time I lift up the bed, and it's a pain to shove it back into place each time. Not an issue if you only lift it occasionally but I use this to store extra linens in my Airbnb so it gets lifted regularly and is a bit of an annoyance for the housekeepers. Also the velvet-type upholstery shows every little handprint or scuff.
