I was hesitant to buy a futon but the space I wanted to use it in would be perfect for one. I bought based on the reviews and I couldn't be more satisfied! I think it's fairly comfortable. With a mechanical engineering background, I'm picky on design and I liked the captive springs and the hinging bed spring assemblies. Seemed like it was designed to last and the base is really sturdy too. Took about an hour and a half to put together myself. Coloring and descriptions were spot on. Only negative is the upright part of the couch position bulges a little bit but the bunched up material has to go somewhere. Not a huge deal to me! Thank you!
