how well does this mattress function as a sofa?

It is most certainly NOT a sofa futon. It is very thick, I dont think you'd be able to fold it on a sofa.

Too stiff, this pad is designed to be a mattress. It would be unusable in an upright position.

Dear Kelly, I have owned a queen size Haley that was used primarily as my bed for a while and then as a sofa on a folding frame. It usually took a day of being weighed down in folding middle to stay put. My newer smaller twin size bed is always in bed mode unless I flip it on its sideto hide it behind a bench when I have guests.

The 150 futon mattress is essentially a conventional platform bed mattress without the fancy cover and trim. It is not intended to be folded.

i believe the length may depend on the size of the bed, BUT be warned! this is a most uncomfortable bed. the mattress is so thin you can feel every rod. as far as just using it as a sofa, it is the most comfortable sofa i have ever earned. as far as the bed, i have put cardboard boxes--xtra quilts---etc under the mattress and nothing makes it comfortable.

I am considering this sofa, I like the looks of it. My current sofa has limp back cushions so I add an old pillow or buy a bag of stuffing at the fabric store to plump up the back cushions.

The previous two answers are accurate. But please read my review of this couch before purchase.

I have had the couch for about four months now. The sofa is soft/firm. Please also note the following: The couch was bought as an addition to my "Man Cave". It is not used very much and thus I cannot tell you how well it will hold its firm-ness under normal daily use.Take Care.

I would say yes. When placed in the sofa, the mattress was too thick to store back into the sofa. The mattress barely fit under our KING BED. EXTREMELY comfy.

I have a pretty modern sofa sleeper, and had experience with standard or factory provided foam mattresses. We installed this one, and had no problems so far. It is big enough to cover the whole frame. Honestly, if an adult has to sleep on it is Ok for cushioning, but keep in mind it is a little on the hard side. Children are Ok. We only use it for emergency situations, or short sleep overs. The thicker, the better. The extra width allows you to NOT feel the metal parts from the frame.

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.

I'm using this mattress with a hand-me-down evenflo p&p.; So far I have it in the bassenet part and it serves it purpose. I do think it is a little on the soft side, but some of this is due to poor underneath support. I think there will be an improvement when i move it below. No gaps around the edges is a plus. I'm not sure how it would fit other brands. I measured to assure an extra tight fit and recommend others to do the same.

The seat of the sofa flips up for storage. If you flip the seat all the way up you can then flatten it out into a bed. It's really great for the money!

It's a firmer mattress than I expected, but overall I have been pleased with this mattress. I've had it for around five years and find the comfort enduring. Just make sure to put it on a solid base, rather than box springs.

No, this is not a sleeper sofa. It is a stationary (non-reclining) loveseat.

I wouldn't recommend it as a bed. Maybe occasionally for guest. Everyday use as a bed though and this sofa will start to show wear and tear. It's an excellent value and mine looks and feels great after about 4 months of use but at this price, quality of materials are questionable.

No.it is pretty good and doesn't squish much. Very comfortable to make a mattress.

When the sofa is upright in the "sofa" position it feels like a sofa. When it's in the "bed" position the crease or kink is not that noticeable when laying down. It's pretty comfortable though not as cushy as a read bed. But for sleepovers or the occasional lounging around, it's great. I have no complaints about the comfort and neither have any of my "sleepovers".

Owned mine for 3 years now. I'm 100 lb and it's started to lose its support on the side I always sleep on. You don't see a sag, but my lower back started feeling a strain from the mattress not being as firm anymore. I've finally flipped it over and now can feel a noticeable difference in firmness. However, for my weight, it's held up pretty well. I use this as a mattress directly on top of wood slats.

We have a very old couch that sags as well and honestly I don't see much of a difference in the way the cushions are when the bed is folded up with the replacement mattress. It's still a very good mattress to sleep on though.
