This futon is so comfy both as a couch and bed. Mattress is soft but supportive. It really brightened up my office which I also use as a guest room. It was a bit difficult to assemble, but worth it once done. It seems sometimes tricky to put it back into couch position once flat, but I don't do that very often, so hasn't been a big deal. I've received many compliments on this charming futon.
