My futon arrived this morning during a rainstorm here in NYC. I was in a panic it would hit my doorstep soaking wet! Not. Although UPS had banged up the box a bit, the futon inside was double wrapped in heavy plastic to protect it.
After I put it on the futon sofa, it fit perfectly. The deep red color is vibrant and beautiful. It looks like a $300+ futon. A terrific buy!
Here comes the good part. It is the softest futon I have ever owned. I began sleeping on futons back in the early 70s and have owned high end, low end, no end, futons from every manufacturer. This one is far superior in every way. I lay down tonight at 5 to 'take a nap.' Woke up at 1:15 AM! I haven't slept this well for a long time. It has a medium strength to it. Not too firm, not too soft. Just right. I expect Goldilocks to come walking through the door any minute now.
No odor, no stains, no bumps. Straight from the box to the bed. Effortless. I love this futon! Cannot wait to finish this review and go back to bed.
It came to my with many stains, I can’t accept this mattress, look at it what’s inside?
When measured, it comes out to 69 inches by 48. Not the 75 by 54 advertised. Too small for where I want to put it and and I could not tell until I had taken it out of the packaging.
I searched for a complete frame and bed, i felt a bit cheated that it was only a mattress, I could have gottEN JUST A MATTRESS FOR UNDER $90. Please read the entire add when you do a search... I was expecting the frame and mattress... but I needed it so I kept it. I could have gotten the whole set same quality at walmart for $130.
I wanted 8 inch but for some reason Amazon would ship me a 6 inch but not 8 inch. I figured 2 inch not gonna make that much a difference. That 6 inch mattress measures an actual 4 inch, and very uncomfortable, can feel the wood slats, and the mattress wants to squeeze between them. Also it has a strong chemical smell that has to air out. I had to have something on the frame so will keep it but had to put a mattress topper from Costco on top of it just to make it feel semi decent. I would not recommend this futon mattress to anyone.
Mine was shipped from TX according to tracking information. Despite a final winter blast last week, the mattress was delivered early.
Upon returning that day, to my excitement, a neatly packaged, compact yet long box had been carefully placed on my porch. Date of manufacture on the tag is 4/1/19.
The mattress isn't very heavy, and I was easily able to carry it downstairs to its awaiting futon frame. Unpackaging took merely a couple min, a utility knife or box cutter will be your best friend to do this.
After sleeping on it for a week, I am very impressed. It is very comfortable and supportive of my 'pressure points' I do not feel the metal frame like I did before with the worn out futon I replaced. No chemical smell.
For the value this can't be beat. Glad I bought it versus taking a chance on the other ones in this price range that have reviews claiming of bed bugs. Yikes, stay away from them.
my dog loved chewing this up...she's a heathen
Order was delivered a day earlier than expected! Wasn't too heavy. Doesn't puff up much after sitting out but still decent and comfy enough for a couch (I don't plan on using it for sleeping other than occasional sleepovers). Does need to air out for a couple days- chemical order once out the plastic.
