I have been considering ordering these for a while now but the reviews had me hesitating. I live in a one room efficiency with my 21 year old daughter. I needed something that could open to a bed but could close to help us with space for watching TV, working from home, and online college. It was extremely easy to put together. It is easy to open and close and I am sleeping better than I was on my five year old futon, with almost no padding. My daughter is EXTREMELY happy and sleeps like a baby on it. We both like firm mattresses so this works for us. If you need a soft mattress, this is not an option. My only suggestion is that if it could be designed to have the bed a bit higher, it would be better for tall or elderly people. I am actually 63 and sometimes have to prepare in order to stand up from the bed. I dont mind because my knees are in fairly decent shape but wouldnt mind it being a few inches higher. I am happy with the material and know I will get a lot of good use out of these. I bought one in gray and one in blue. I hope they hold up to being opened and closed daily but I feel that they will hold up just fine. As for now, we are very happy with them.
Great for small spaces!
