I am very impressed by this futon. love the ultra suede cover. i wish it came in more colors. i slept on it for 2 nights, and it was really comfortable for me, but plan to use it for guests. i do not know how it will hold up over time, but i think it will be fine. i would not feel bad to have guests use it. there was no odor about it, and it fit perfectly on the futon frame. looks to be of very good quality. so far, a very good buy.
