This or a bed from the store??? I've been sleeping on a springy futon for the last two years and want to know which would be better in the long run.

We both love the comfort of the bed, bought from Amazon. We have Prime so shipping was free

Serta packages this same mattress brand and sells in sams club. I was not impressed with the mattress it is very hard but it should last you several years

Ive had mine for a good nine mounths now, and two people weighing about 160 sleep on it nightly and i haven't noticed any flatning. When i was doing my research for which bed to buy i. Had heard a lot of companies were doing a bait and switch, they would sell really good matress for a while, build up a good rating, and then start selling crap ones to make more of a profet. So just be careful with as to whome you buy it from, and to read ALL of their reviews to see if they played any said games with people.

I suffer from arthritis of the hip, some people like the mattresses a little bit softer, I'd say this one is between soft and firm, but to my peace of mind, all the pain I used to sleep and wake up with has gone away since I started sleeping on it. I really hope you can find it as relieving as I have. Good luck!

I am in the process of installing it so we have yet to sleep in it. The Murphy bed accommodates only an inner-spring mattress (no box springs) and no comfy pillow top. Just a plain vanilla inner-spring mattress. So I do not anticipate that I would want to use it as my primary bed. However, if you are young and hardy and have no other choice then it could work. I expect it to be more comfortable than a futon bed and about as comfortable as a good convertible sofa bed. In fact, had I purchased a convertible sofa bed for the man-cave instead of a regular sofa, then I would not be assembling the Murphy bed.

I have two queen size beds. On is the tradional metal frame with a bar in the middle. And I have a wooden bred frame with a bar in the middle also. I have added a bunny board to each bed. On bed has a box springs as well and one doesn't. It works either way and the back support feeling is great. I have no additional bars or internal legs in the frame. If you do it's fine also. The addition and use of the bunny board is the best thing I could do since I have had back surgery and still have a very bad back. It works great and I get a good nights sleep. Go for the bunky bed boards!!

Aaron, this has got to be the best bed I have ever slept in! I would recommend this mattress to everyone, and I do! I am 47 years old and have many different kinds of beds ie waterbeds, etc. I have never had a better night sleep. I don't know about the Grand Cool Breeze but this mattress is very tall and comfortable. I never wake up with back aches anymore. It also has a manufacture warrenty that will last longer than I live lol. It is worth every penny and I would suggest you give it a try. You will not be disappointed! Trust me. If you have any other questions I will gladly answer them. Sincerely, Christi-Ann Ciccone-Storman.

Wouldn't buy if you are looking for very soft. I would go with a spring mattress if you want very soft. This mattress has a plush, soft top layer (the cream color) and underneath it is the firmer foam that conforms so basically its the best of both worlds. When the mattress conforms to your body it feels softer too.Personally, I really liked springs and I wanted the super super plush pillowtop soft mattress, but I don't think they hold up like the memory foam and I ended up loving this mattress, but if you know for sure you like extremely soft and pillowy, dont go with this mattress.

Sure you could use the memory foam mattress, but because you're not using a box spring I'd wonder if it would still be comfortable to sit/ sleep on? If I were you I'd simply go with a standard twin mattress.

Platform style beds are the best. But i kep my boxspring from my old bed and set the ned mattress ontop. I was 4+ feet in the air

It definitely has that "marshmallow" feel. I am experiencing that this bed has much more give than the one that I used to own. In fact, my last one did not really leave the body impression. Like I said in my post I wish that I had seen and sprung for the $750. I am not 100% unsatisfied but from the information that I have the Deluxe would be better.

It is quite comfortable for sleeping. There is plenty of room and it does work very well for the occasional guest. In fact, I have just ordered the chaise lounge that matches the futon.

Hmmm, no definitive answer on that. I 've slept on a Futon so I know what you're talking about. I'm on a seraphina 14 inch gel/foam mattress so I'm super comfy. My inclination would be to add a foam gel topper to your futon over this product.

I would suggest you buy the base model from sleep number (the C2 or C3) and buy the frame from sleep number. For the frame I'd suggest the Flexfit 2 fro sleep number. My reasoning for both is below... There are some sacrifices to not buying the frame from sleep number. Air mattresses are light and don't like to bend. So Sleep Number and L&P patented a system that bolts the air mattress to the adjustable frame. L&P has some sort of exclusive agreement with Sleep Number to not sell the bolt down system to the public. Without bolting it down the mattresses move around lot, the bar at the end of the bed just doesn't cut it for securing an air mattress. We bought a sleep number mattress and this frame from this seller. This seller was great. Though we don't use all the features. The massage feature for example is really not worth it. That's why I'd suggest the Flexfit 2 over the Flexfit 3. We bought the C3 from sleep number and add toppers to customize it to our tastes. I added 2" of memory foam and a 2" bamboo mattress topper. My wife doesn't like memory foam and wanted a firmer feel so I just got her the 2" bamboo mattress topper. This saved us over $2,000 than buying the padding from sleep number. What is great about the sleep numbers is that the air mattress system (bladder and pump) is the same for all the models so it doesn't matter which one you buy. The only thing that is different is the amount of padding and a fancier remote. Let me know if you have any questions on what toppers to buy should you be interested. My wife and I have been sleeping like the dead for 6 months now and her chronic back problems have gone away.

I use this futon on my hardwood floors for occasional overnight guests or for extra lounging space while watching TV. I'm not sure if you have carpeting where you live, but I think the carpeting factor might make more a difference than the futon itself. This, as well as the frequency that you plan on sleeping on it will make or break your opinion on it. Also, when you say optimal comfort, do you mean something that will give you firm support or soft support? I would say that my set-up provides firm support, but it does not feel like you're digging your hip into the floor when sleeping on your side. It was definitely a great price for the size and quality. I hope this helps! I use this futon on my hardwood floors for occasional overnight guests or for extra lounging space while watching TV.

1st question: It may work as a futon, but I'm not sure because I haven't tried it. I think a 6 inch mattress may be too thick...4 inches might work better. 2nd question: I think it would last as long as a futon mattress as long as it is covered.

No.it's not thick enough for comfort for your weight. I would go with a futon or a much thicker mattress.

Tracy, Did you ever get a good answer on this question. Did you purchase the mattress and put it in a wall bed? I am thinking of getting it for the same use and am wondering... Thanks!
