such a nice bed, very, very comfy. Easy to assemble took about one hour, lots of packaging but that's a good thing as you don't want any scratches or anything just means a trip to the skip after assembling is done. I just ordered a cheap mattress 16.5 inch deep from Ebay @ £30 and it was perfect. We didn't want to spend loads as this bed was for spare room which is never used but we're selling up so had to make it look habitable, however must say it's the most comfortable bed in the whole house despite having HYPNOS beds in all the other bedrooms. Go figure!
