I am thoroughly pleased with my Taulbee Futon. I am 64 years old and had no trouble getting it out of box nor putting it together. I love how I can adjust sides. Lower one side for feet and slightly lower other for headrest. I give it 5 stars. Thank you. As for comfort. It is firm but very pleasing. If I wanted a Sealy type sofa I could spend $500 and get one. This is a futon and for the price I am quite pleased.
