Have an older sofa bed I keep in the TV room for when I have overflow guests. Original (innerspring?) was basically shot (and was really uncomfortable from day one). Was searching for a replacement and saw this one on .thought Id give it a try. Unpacked according to directions provided and let it expand to full size for 3 days. Installed it into the sofa. On the support frame on this couch, there is a slightly elevated horizontal metal rail that holds the head of the in place and a heavy U shaped bracket at the foot that keeps the foot of the in place. I think the original may have been 72 long and this is 73 long and it makes for a snug fit. I bought a protector/cover for the new as well as a set of sheets (both were specific to the dimensions for sofa/bed es). With the pad and sheets on the new , it is a little thick and I have to make sure the head of is in place or it will not retract into the base of the couch. So far, so good.just waiting for the first opportunity I get for one of my guests to try it out.
Fit (lengthwise) is a little snug.
