Beautiful daybed! Truth be told, Im living out my childhood dream by putting it together for my toddler who could care less lol. I went with 8 foam on top and 6 on the bottom as suggested and agree it works well. The only problem I have is the 8 CoolGel foam I bought hangs over the side of the daybed by almost an inch. No deal breaker by any means but if you are a perfectionist it is noticeable to the trained eye.

Pros - super easy to put together, looks very expensive, very soft.

Cons - Upon assembling I read it is not suggested for kids under the age of 4. I plan on using it as a big girl bed for my 2 year old so that warning is something I wish Id known up front.

Bottom line is you will not be disappointed!
