Its firm but comfortable, easy to change configuration, but what I got is NOT 71
OK, it arrived safely, no assembly necessary, and easy to change the configuration. Seems sturdy and not so heavy that it cannot be moved around easily but it is very firm, as noted by some other reviewers. That being said, I measure it in the flat configuration as 69 length, not 71 and since Im 510 (i.e, 70), those couple of inches make a difference. Keep that in mind if you are buying it. UPDATE: Ive noticed some negative reviews of this or similar convertible beds regarding collapse of the ends because the supports do not lock. Indeed, if you move the bed in one direction or the other, the support will move and that end will collapse. However, the supports are angled such that they are sturdy supports. You just have to realize that moving the bed will result in the collapse and move the bed by pulling on the support, not by pushing the bed. Also, I put a camping cot mat on top of the bed and that resolves the hardness issue. Now its perfect.
