This bed is amazing. It is plush, soft, and sturdy.  It was so easy to put together that my four year old was using the drill to put the screws in by herself with daddy's supervision!  I paired it with an 8" memory foam mattress and it is soooo nice.  The only thing to consider would be that it does sit low to the ground so if you are using it for someone who has a hard time getting up then this would not be ideal.  For us it is no problem.
