I dont right many reviews, but this couch is the best futon for twice the money. It is durable, comfortable and looks great. It arrives in 3 boxes, so it is easier to move into place. The assembly instructions are clear and concise, and the components and hardware are high quality. Everything fits just as it should. The cushion is thick and soft, the packaging makes it so that none of the wood can get damaged, which is great because the finish is really nice. I highly recommend.
As another reviewer showed in their image, its not a futon mattress but a futon filled with stuffing. You cant take the cover shown off to wash it as its actually attached to the stuffing and inner padding. I purchased a waterproof cover and an additional futon cover for the mattress, but Im not happy with how they utilized their mattress layers graphic as its wildly inaccurate. Overall its comfortable, sturdy, looks good, and is easy to construct. However the mattress isnt really a true mattress.
Love our futons. Purchased two for extra sleeping for guests when needed. The cushion expands after several hours so I suggest letting it rest flat before putting on frame. I gave 4 stars because I dont understand why they used white thread to tie the cushions , a matching thread would be much more suitable. We purchased blue and the white tie threading just doesnt make sense.
I love this futon! But as others have noted its a beast. The mattress is divine and heavy and very good quality. It arrives in a tall box. Its conpressed. Once you lay it out it starts to luff. I am so glad I found this futon. I would recommend it to anyone shopping a futon. There a large number of options in frames and mattress. Happy hunting!
So I encountered alignment issues during assembly. I was SO impressed with the Customer Service. They had me send pictures / talked to me about possible issue resolution based on pictures / sent me replacement pieces promptly. I successfully completed assembly and, with help (this is a STURDY - HEAVY) piece to lift into the arms, now have my BEAUTIFUL futon in place! NOTE: I bought the futon with the mattress and that is the beautiful blue mattress fluffing in front of the futon.
We used to have a metal framed futon but wanted something that looked a little nicer and was a bit more comfortable this time. This one is far more comfortable but it takes 2 people to put it in the upright position or one strong person to man handle the 50 pound mattress off to the side while you set the futon back in the upright position. Then you have to struggle to put push the mattress back into position.
I will say its a nice looking piece so if your not looking to put it up and down very often it may fit your needs.
I replaced a larger hide-a-bed sofa with a futon. It looks great in the room. It was however, very disappointing initially. The mattress was nothing like the Khaki Twill I expected. It was more like a beige muslin fabric and as thin. It has spot all over it like its dirty. It looks like it was made on a dirty factory floor. It didnt have a smell like what was described in a review I read after I bought it. I had to buy a cover for the mattress to give it a furniture look rather than that of an unmade bed. It was very disappointing. If I didnt have unplanned company showing up for Christmas I would have sent it back.
The frame is great. It has a quality furniture look. Its very sturdy. The assembly instructions were super...probably the easiest piece of furniture Ive ever put together. It helps that the arms come assembled. I sure hope the mattress is as clean as I expect for brand new.
First want to say we love the futon. But this thing is a beast! We purchased the queen size and it is extremely heavy and bulky to move. My husband and I do struggle a bit putting it down to bed and lifting it back up to couch. Perhaps it is because its brand new and stiff or perhaps its because it has a really really nice thick mattress, which is a plus. I wish the mattress was a bit softer and I feel the need to put a two or 3 inch memory foam topper on it for those sleeping on it more than one night in a row. We agonized over whether to buy a sofa sleeper or a futon, and we are extremely happy we chose the futon. The sofa sleepers in this price range are far inferior, and the mattresses are really poor quality. Many many many pieces to assemble but once built, it is very sturdy and worth the price. We will get used to putting it up and down eventually.

You should buy this futon couch

Good futon, but mattress is falsely advertised

Futon is great

A winner!

Great price for the money.
Absolutely amazing. Easy to assemble and great to rest on.
Sturdy but hard to open and close
We used to have a metal framed futon but wanted something that looked a little nicer and was a bit more comfortable this time. This one is far more comfortable but it takes 2 people to put it in the upright position or one strong person to man handle the 50 pound mattress off to the side while you set the futon back in the upright position.

Futon
This was better than expected, well constructed and comfortable.
Did not receive what I expected...the mattress was a huge disappointment!
