Love this day bed. I bought 10" Zenus mattresses and it JUST fits (with only a mattress pad on it). 8" would have been better but its for adult size people. I like the fact that the second person can have a regular height bed too. I got the antique white and it is very nice (not bright white or too creamy) Both pieces seam very solid and I liked no exposed screws on the front. My husband, a welder, was impressed with the welds. We have use once for a week for adult sized grands.
