Dont sit on mattress if you want to use it as a bed
This futon is the nicest futon I have ever slept on. It was very easy to assemble. we didnt find the directions until after it was put together, so it truly is self/explanatory. Its beautiful and the mattress is much more comfortable than other mattresses I have slept on. However, I have been sitting in the same spot on the mattress for less than a month, and when I pull the futon out to sleep on it, the mattress dips where I sit, and I am not a large woman. Therefore, I do not recommend sitting on it for any length of time if you are going to use it as a bed as sitting apparently leads to an uneven mattress. Others have mentioned the difficulty in taking it from the sleeping position to the sitting position, and after watching the video, I am able to do it by myself every time, and it is very easy, so be sure to watch it if you are having difficulty with that.
