Great Futon My roommate and I bought this futon for our dorm room, and we have had it for about 3 months now. This futon was able to fit under my lofted bed, and I am 6'3" and I can comfortably stretch out across the futon, well my feet hang off a little but not much. All of the positions of the futon are great, we constantly use the arm rest to either rest our arms, or we tilt them up slightly and use it as pillow/head rest. We use the futon everyday, and I literally sit and lay on the futon hours everyday and it is very comfortable. It is actually perfect, it is soft enough to be comfortable but not too soft where the cushions sink down and get flat. It is firm enough where it supports your butt and back, but not too firm where it is uncomfortable, it is the perfect balance. If you sit in the middle where the cushions join is slightly uncomfortable, but its not too bad, and the futon is long enough where you don't have to sit there. Using the futon as a bed it is fairly comfortable, and the material doesn't look or feel cheap, and it cleans very easily. This is a great futon, and don't go for a cheaper futon I have seen them in person they sit really low to the ground and are not comfortable, and I assume the more expensive futon's are good but this is a great product for a great value. 01/23/2011
Great Futon! I just finished assembling this futon and I love it! It is firm with a thick comfortable mattress, unlike the metal frame futons that have thin mattresses and can become very uncomfortable. To get the futon to turn into a bed you have to pull each side as far in as it will go and it releases so you can lay it flat. The same goes for the arm rests. I also love the velour feel it has! Hope this helps someone! 08/26/2009

Good, sturdy futon This futon looks very nice and was very easy to assemble. It works really well as a bed if you like a firm mattress, and is very study.Because the material is black faux suede, it can be difficult to keep clean-looking. I put a blanket over the cushions to keep dog hair and other fibers from being apparent.As for using the futon for everyday use -- it is NOT a couch and is not soft and cushy like a couch. It's fine for everyday use as long as you don't mind a firm couch.Tip: If you're going to pick this futon up from the store, bring a truck. I have a Ford Focus with a large trunk, and the futon did not fit comfortably in the trunk. We had to get rope and tie the box down and drive home with the trunk open. 08/18/2009
