We have a very limited amount of space in our studio apartment and needed something that could act as a couch and full time bed. We had been using a pull-out sofa sleeper and it was not cutting it, we always felt like we were going to break it from overuse and you could feel the metal beneath the mattress. This futon is beautiful, functional and the mattress is very supportive and comfortable!  It feels very sturdy and I’m so excited to have it!
