Within a short while after opening the box and allowing the mattress to come back to shape it looked great.  The mattress is very comfortable, but all the people who have slept on it have been less than 110 pounds.  It's very, very comfortable and you can feel the gel memory, but don't expect it to feel like a Tempurpedic where it sinks and molds to your body.  It folds up nicely to put away in a closet.  The seat as shown would be comfortable for a child of 2 to 6, simply because the back rest is low. But folded into 3 sections high, it functions like a ottoman and can be useful as an extra place to sit when not used as a bed.
