This Futon Mattress came to my house within a few days and was just what we needed. It is a beautiful charcoal color, thick and comfortable to sit on as a couch or sleep on as a bed. It was delivered tightly wrapped and opened up to it's full thickness pretty quickly. It fits in the 27 year old frame that we had and will be my son's couch in his new apt. He loves it and so do I!
