What You See Is What You Get I bough this futon from Shop4Futons but they do have an Store. This mattress is excellent, very supportive while being soft on top. I would not call it fluffy on top or soft where you sink down into it. It is more like a pillow top or Euro Top to me. This mattress is well made, you can tell. The warranty is 10 years but the rep at the store told me it would easily last 15 as we are not using it everyday. That is a real cost effective factor for me. I did not want to buy something cheap and then have throw it away after a year. I have had this mattress for about a month now. We use it in a guest room where we have 2nd TV and I sit on it as a couch a few times a week. It is excellent in the couch position is very comfortable like a high end sofa. The futon will be used as a bed a few times a year. My son slept in it and he loved it. He recommended the mattress as he lives in Athens Georgia and he was able to see the mattress and help me choose the right one. Also, this is advertised as 8 but mine expanded to 9 so it is very much like a bed mattress. I did not purchase the Grip Strips as recommended. I went to Home Depot and purchased an 8 x 11 rug grip pad for $11.00 and cut the pad in half down the middle lengthwise and placed one strip on the back and one strip on the seat and with the help of my husband we folded the futon into couch position. Then we took a bungee cord and strapped it around the seat where it folded and hooked it on the back side of the futon. Worked like a charm. The rep at the store said you had to train mattresses to stay on your futon when in couch position so we took his advice and it worked. We were able to take the bungee cord off after a week. and the mattress stays on. I dont have a cover yet as I am going to look locally. Buy this mattress. You will not regret it. Also for your info the people sleeping on this are between average around 150 lbs. So that might give you an idea of how it works for us. Like I said it definitely does not sag when we lie on it or sit on it and you dont feel like you are going to fall off the edge either if you sleep close to the edge of the bed. Buy this, youll love it.
