I purchased this in a full size and then got a queen size foam mattress to give me the look I wanted. Full size mattress seemed too small. But the size of the bed frame was accurate for a full size bed I just had bad luck with the mattress brand. But anyways, The best thing for us about this bed frame is that you don’t bump into anything hard when getting on and off the bed, or walking around it. The material feels soft but sturdy. This is a great transition bed or long term bed. The color was exactly what I thought it would be. We are Still deciding on nightstands but our daughter loves it.
