Can't expect a whole lot from a futon mattress, but this isn't bad. My biggest complaint would be that it never reached it's full size of 9" high as was advertised. After a month it's approx. 6" high. We actually placed it on top of the existing mattress which was about 4" high (my son never closes the futon, wants it solely as a bed) so this really added to the comfort. Otherwise you could feel the pressure of the bars from beneath the mattress. I find you have to lift it to about waist height and drop it DAILY to restore it's fullness and eliminate any dips formed by sleeping on it. My son has no complaints and says it's a pretty comfortable mattress, but keep in mind..it is sitting on top of another mattress which I do not doubt is the reason for at least 50% of its comfort.
