Living in the NYC area, I've slept on several different space-saving and multipurpose furniture pieces. Without a doubt, this is THE most comfortable futon I have ever slept or sat on, possibly one of the most comfortable furniture pieces I've ever bought all together. For the camping buffs, it has the feel of a very high-quality air pad, which means it gives support in all the right places without being too firm, but never too soft. It's really just right, after years of mediocre sleep my search is over! Was able to assemble with the help of my wife and father-in-law in about 2-3 hours. I had to manually adjust one of the connectors with a couple washers to give it some extra height so that slowed us down. Otherwise, it would have easily been assembled in under 2 hours. Worth the money in every way possible, I'll buy a second one at some point for the guest room at my folks house.
