This was so worth the purchase! My husband recently was dealt a health blow that required major surgery and a long recovery that limits his mobility. When I looked into  these beds as recommended I thought there is no way I can afford one and mattress, that are any quality at all. I was wrong! This bed was affordable and functional. More importantly what started off as a sore spot for my husband (he was angry and embarrassed he needed it) has become a prideful talking point. He tells everyone how wonderful the bed is and how it has made his recovery easier. I love being able to sit the bed with him and adjust it so I can work comfortable and still be with him. The mattress is firm but soft (does that even make sense lol) and it conforms to me so I feel cradled and supported as I am sleeping. I would recommend anyone thinking of buying this bed to do it, it is worth it!
