It seems that this trifold model would take up less space width wise (54 inches) as opposed to the bifold model (80 Inches). Is this correct?

Yes it is about the size of a love seat versus a couch. We have slept on it and with a good 8" mattress, it is very comfortable. We used it in a small space in our cabin. It is nice because you can use it as a lounger too. The directions were a bit confusing, but once we figured them out, it went together rather quickly.

yes, it is the width of a full size bed. the futon sits upon the frame in the opposite direction you generally see.

The difference is that with the bi fold, you would sleep lengthwise, like if you were to take a nap on a couch. With the trifold you unfold the whole thing and sleep in the direction you would normally sit, like a sofa bed pullout. So while one is shorter in the 'couch' position, they will both take up about the same amount of space when unfolded, just in a different direction. Does that make sense?

I think both models take up the same amount of space. The way I understand it, the only difference is what size you get in terms of bed-you can get full or queenSo the person is probably looking at full measurements for the trifold and queen measurements for the bifold. Both trifold and bifold come in both sizeshttp://www.csgnetwork.com/bedsizes.html

i am not sure about that. The trifold model fits the mattress we got exactly (double wide) and I assume the bifold would also fit a double width-wise but I have nothing to compare it to. Sorry I could not be more help.

The difference in the length and width dimensions could be the inner and outer measurements or those at the top and bottom as the sides taper slightly. The two different depths would only make sense for two different models (mine is about 5.5") as an earlier reply suggests.

Not for this reason. It actually seems narrower than pnp. But the mattress is better/softer/more comfortable, and its 10 times easier to set up/fold than pnp.

I'm confused. I saw this exact item on another site and it stated Measures 28.25" W x 18" D x 36" H yet here it states it is 51.5 inches including the racks. I can't imagine the side racks adding that much more width. Can you please advise?

I just measured the pack - since I have used it numerous times, I think it shrinks slightly. It measures 7 X 11 - probably started out as 8 X 12, so it may not be appropriate for your needs, but you might contact vesture's web site and see if they make a smaller pack. EH

I have a trifold velcro wallet and it holds that with room to spare,main comp is about5 inches deep by 6 inches across. the tri fold I use when folded is3 1/2 by 5 inches I use the front comp for keys

It certainly sounds like it. (I was expecting bigger pockets when I got mine). The top row had tiny ones. The second row has 2 3x6 approx. and the 3rd row had 3 3x4 approx.

I'M 6FT AND 275. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS TO SMALL. I HAVE A TON OF STUFF IN IT ALREADY AND THE MAIN COMPARTMENT ISN'T EVEN A THIRD FULL! I DO like the way it is wider at the bottom than that top. To me it just looks better than one that is the same width top to bottom. I'd say go for it if you are looking for a smaller/day pack. It's a good 'un!

Nevermind I just saw that they listed it when you go to purchase as one size and 504. I couldn't tell you why they did that. From my understanding these are all the same. They may be referring to an expandable version? I've never seen that before. Wasn't there when I bought mine.

i own two and they are both 8.5. I assume you could always sand one side to make it fit if it was tight. C

Plenty of room, I use both widths and have no problem at all. The smaller drawer on top is a handy feature holding writing utensil, paper clips, etc.

I would go with the 58" just so you know you have enough room. I BARELY could get it to work and my width was not much over 58"

I would also go with the former model. This one has less thicknesses. It is sturdier because of what it is made of, but it doesn't do everything I would want it to.

The sizes actually differ in lengths, both of which fold like a piece of paper fitted into an envelope. The back half is unfolded and open while the front half is generally folded. Luckily the package has a picture diagram with explanations. It does seem overwhelming at first, but you will quickly get the hang of it. I find that I I fold the two side flaps over the center after washing that they are readily handy for use. Good luck!

Don't know about the size but i found Red Shikibuton Trifold to be uncomfortable, the foam is cheap & you sort of sink to floor. Invest in a futon or something that costs more.

I have an 87 Four Winns Candia. The cover doesn't fit well at all. On that note, I had no problem folding it up. Folds better than it fits.

the space I have is 28 3/4 inches, so 1/4 inch smaller. th width is a couple inches smaller. would this work? I want one with the contour sides
