I researched a bunch of different types of daybeds before deciding to get this one for my daughters bed upgrade. I bought a standard size twin mattress for it. The bed itself was not very difficult to assemble it took around an hour and a half. One complaint I have is the terrible paint smell. Its like it got painted and then boxed up and so the bed didnt have time to air out it was overwhelming at first. The twin mattress does fit this bed but there is probably about an inch or two gap between the edge of the bed and the mattress so its not a perfect fit I had to run some rubber mats underneath the slats at the bottom to keep the bed from sliding around constantly. I do not see this being a sturdy bed for a large adult or to be used as a couch the sturdiness of this bed definitely screams children only. For a kids bed Im very happy with the purchase. The price is reasonable though.
Good choice for a kids bed
