I only paid 131.99 so I am happy enough with the mattress; if I paid the retail of anything higher I would have been disappointed as it is much softer than I expected. Decent enough for what I paid but it will surely compress faster than I hoped with daily use. If you are looking for a dense futon for daily use I would suggest another; I was hoping for the 'old school' futon I remember from the 80's or 90's but as with everything "it just isn't made like it used to be". Do not pay more than $150...not worth it but what I paid I will keep as it will suffice with a memory foam topper for guest use.
