It probably wouldn't fold at all. It's a bit of a firm mattress. It's not like a futon mattress at all.

Yes, I think it would help on a fold-out couch. It would probably need to be stored out of the couch, because it would add a lot of bulk to the other bedding. Most fold out mattresses are around 4in, so this would bring it to 6in thickness, which is a lot to stuff in the couch.

I would suggest you remove mattress support. I used with my sofa bed when I have guests. Great support, but it may compromise the support boards if you fold in with sofa bed, because they have a certain pattern that it is pre-folded into.

Yes it is very easy to fold. I read one or two reviews that said the mattress sticks out when folded and it is a problem to clip the hooks that keep it from unfolding. While the mattress does stick out a bit, I found it to be no trouble to engage the clips. For the frail and elderly I guess it might be challenging. If I had to do it every day it would still not be a problem. I have a small walk-in closet in the room where I use the bed and it rolls easily on the carpet into the closet for storage. It should be no problem to roll it around the house on any mid to short pile carpet, tile or wood floors. Yes it is very easy to fold.

I do fold it after each use and lean it against the wall. It is a bit heavy, but I manage (I am a 50 yo 5'3" arthritic woman). I have bumped my knees with it a couple of times though. Unfolding is very easy. It isn't too bad if you are only carrying it a short distance.

Yes, you have to do a few different adjustments to get the bed folded correctly. It was a little tricky. It was not a fold-in-half and it's done type of bed. Hope this was helpful.

I use a 10" mattress and it folds fine, comfortable too. But get some futon grip strips or something so the mattress don't slide around, the wood is very smooth. Also you may find it takes a little extra strength to fold a thicker mattress but I don't really have a problem with it.

It folds in half. The legs are on springs that pull up so you can lay them flat. It easily fits under my bed. Due to its durability, it is not extremely light which is fine with me!

Hey, I bought a Mozaic futon. Fits fine. Not easy to fold back into couch position. Feels comfy for now but haven't had it long.

Not sure if I get what you are trying to do. I suppose you could place it on top of another matress but that would mean you could not fold it to a couch-it would have to stay flat. It will work on a wood frame alone as well.

If you take the mattress that is on the sofa off and just use this one it will fold up. However you will feel the bars on the frame when you lay on the bed.

It is not really meant to be packed up or folded after it is opened from its shipping package. If you had a place to stash it without folding it or compacting it then I think it would make a great bed. Its pretty firm but still comfortable. I've pulled it off my sofa and slept on my wood floors when I had many people staying.

To sit in it, or to try to get it to shape, you need to jump into it. Once it settles, it'll probably be a good height compared to the couch. I recently bought a house and moved this "bean bag" (it's filled with scraps of foam blocks). This thing is more trouble than its worth. I would pay you to remove it from my home. It's a cool thought, but you need to remember how large 60" x 60" is. It's wasted space in my house.

Fold it in thirds lengthwise, then fold it in quarters. It fits perfectly in the bag it came in. It's pretty easy to travel with. I LOVE THIS BED!! Convenient, durable, comfortable. I have folded it & unfolded it & used it multiple times.

It can be done but it is easiest if you give yourself several inches and have a person on both sides. That way it has equal tension on each corner as you raise and lower. It makes for a smoother transition from couch to bed and back. It can be done by one person but is easier with two.

Yes. We have enjoyed the bed. It did come missing some bolts or the bolts were the wrong length. We called to have them sent, but we didn't get any delivered. It was just as easy to go buy some bolts the right length. The boxes came dented and some damage to the wood. I bought my futon online and it came with a cover. Very nice. I'd say that we definitely got our money's worth out of the bed. It is hard to take the futon from a bed to a couch. You have to have someone strong and tall to do it for you.

It folds back up perfectly. Just as easy to fold up as the mattress that our sofa originally came with.
