Very Nice Futon
This futon is stylish, comfortable, and a good value for the price. I find it very comfortable to sit on. As far as using it as a bed, it isn't terrible but it would require extra padding in my opinion. We are primarily using it as a sofa so this isn't an issue for us. I like how the sides can be raised up or be level with the base of the futon. It adds a nice variation to the style depending on what you like. The material is nice and very easy to clean. Assembly was extremely easy, which is always a huge plus. Many times futons have a cheap look and actually detract from the style of the room rather than add to it. This futon is the exception. It does not look cheap and it has significantly improved the look of the bedroom we placed it in. It has a nice Zen/minimalist feel to it. It is the perfect add-on to a small-to-medium sized room. It doesn't take up too much space, but at the same time it contributes substantive style to the décor and ambience of the room. We are really pleased with this futon and would definitely recommend it.

Uncomfortable and broke within 2-3 months of use.
It works.. it does the function of being a place to sit down. It's terrible for sleeping, middle part of futon is extremely hard. The actual padding of memory foam is extremely thin. One of the sides of the futon that folds open already broke and I have had it for 2-3 months. It's mainly used to watch tv, not to even sleep and it still broke.

    decent for the price
    product came and the most difficult part of setting it up was getting it out of the box. after that it was easy to get the legs on a flip over. others have said its smaller than they expected but this fits perfectly in the space i needed it for and it wjll serve its purpose when we have a guest here soon. ive taken a few naps on it now and its comfy to sleep on even in the couch position. Granted i am pnly 5'1 so this works perfectly for me, but even my 6ft husband laid on it while it was reclined into the "bed" and said as far as futons go its good.

    okay
    sturdy and easy to assemble; looks exactly like the pictures in the listing. the fabric and “memory foam” padding feel very very cheap, as if it was made with the same material you'd find on a claw-machine teddy bear

    Pleasant surprise!
    Purchased this futon for my office space. It was prefect. I planned initially for a couch but didn’t want the couch prices. Ordered this on a Friday afternoon, it came on Sunday evening- fast shipping! My husband, daughter and her friend have napped on it and all say it was comfy. So far, I’d say that I would recommend.

    Perfect futon for kids or low use areas
    I guess i was one of the lucky ones because my package arrived without any damage. My 11yo son loves it. We replaced his old futon with this one and it is perfect for his space. Don't expect the highest quality but for the price, its a tremendous value.

    A lot better than I expected!
    I brought this cheap couch from Walmart for my small 2 bedroom apartment, and I have to say, I thought it was going to be a piece of junk, but to my surprise it's a solid piece of furniture! The leather is most likely fake, but it smells like actual leather and feels good too. The assembly process should have been a piece of cake but it took longer than an hour due to the fact that some of the screws for the legs wouldn't properly fit in the holes, and it was very frustrating having to have the 2 sides of the couch close together to bolt them together… Other than that I'd say all that frustration was well worth it, and the price, you really can't beat it! I'd say it's good for a college student that needs a place to stay at their parents house for when they come over for vacation, or that one guest you wouldn't want in your bed, at least this couch does turn into a full bed which is pretty sweet!

    Decent
    It was easy to assemble and isn't terrible looking for the price. Hardest part about assembly was getting the heavy box inside. I bought it for a tiny apartment and I'm pretty happy with it. It's not very comfortable, but some throws should help. I didn't expect it to be super comfy given the price point but it's still soft enough to serve as a basic couch.

    Overall good
    Honestly for the price point the quality is great! It is exactly as expected as long as you keep in mind that its at this price point and brand new. If you're looking for something more comfortable or a bed I would invest much more money. But if you have a tight budget like myself and are looking for a living room/guest bed futon this is your pick.

    Great futon
    Great little futon! We set this up in our game room for the kids. Good size and super easy to set up. It folds up to a full size. The only draw back, it's not as soft as I thought it would be, but it's nothing some throw blankets and pillows can't fix.

    Nice futon!
    It was easy to assemble and it arrived early. It was just hard to take out of the box by myself in a small room but I managed. It's comfortable to lay on besides being able to feel the middle part that separates it. That part would be uncomfortable sometimes but overall, it's a good futon.

    Great but needs better packaging.
    So far I really like the couch. I even bought another one. However, Walmart really needs to ship it better. My box was really beat up when it arrived. The couch isn't protected by any Styrofoam, etc, so my first couch was damaged. There was a big gash in the lining. I initiated a return but don't want to go through the effort. The second couch was delivered ok but again no Styrofoam to protect the contents.

    Not a bad deal, as long as you know its limits
    So far, we have had it a week. First day after unpacking, the smell of vinegar was a bit off-putting, but it finally subsided. Must be the memory foam. Not as soft as I would have hoped, but it will serve the purpose we intended which is some extra seating and somewhere to nap Was easy enough to assemble, but I seriously doubt it will handle larger built people for very long. Says it will hold 600 pounds. Maybe if they don't move much. The racheting mechanisms for the back are a neat touch, but again I wouldn't trust for larger than average build persons. Shipping was fast and box was in good shape. Wasn't expecting it to be in two pieces when I opened the box. But instructions are pretty clear. All the hardware and legs are in a zipper pocket on the bottom of the couch so everything was there. Nice touch if you have to disassemble if you are moving. I didn't have any problems with the holes not lining up like I have read some other reviews when installing the legs. I'm 6' and average build and is comfortable for just lounging, but I wouldn't use it as an everyday bed. As for a couch, not too bad for the price.

    Not enough padding and is smaller then advertised
    item Claims to be the size of a full size bed but it is definitely not. when you lay it down flat it is the width of a twin size bed but the length of it is decent. I'm 5'3 and can comfortably lay down flat without my feet hanging off. padding is not good at all I would not suggest purchasing this item unless you are going to use a mattress topper. I can feel the bar in the middle when I'm laying down. it's very close to the ground. I'm giving this four stars because color is beautiful the fabric is soft it was easy to put together and it shipped in 2 days. I feel it should be less expensive!! I paid $180 and because the padding is almost non-existent I have to pay another $50 for a mattress topper. I bought this as something to sleep on in a small space. when this futon is worn out I'm just going to get a twin size bed. I will not be purchasing this product again and I will not suggest purchasing it unless you're looking for something that is not going to be set on or slept on very often. not enough padding and much smaller than advertised.

    Extremely unsatisfied.
    This product did not come with feet. I had to sit it directly on the floor. Due to a medical condition i was unable to set it up until after the return window had closed and i have been informed that i am unable to order the feet and am now sruck with this as is.

    Would not reorder.
    Mediocre quality piece but, for the price, not surprising. Not that comfortable but we only sat on it briefly to try it out. Delivery was fast but it arrived in what looked to be a pre-opened box. Fabric had a tear on the front so we returned it. Assembly was easy.

    Sleek and Comfortable
    I received this Mainstays Memory Foam Futon, Black Suede Fabric, 72 inch to try, use and review. On arrival it was packaged well. It weighs about the 70-75 lbs. So it is fairly easy to handle. I opened the package and started the assembly which is fairy simple once I found the legs for it. They were tied to the bottom of the Futon with zip ties. They just screw on and there you go. The look and feel of this unit is to me, really fantastic. The texture is very nice and the sitting comfort is firm but very comfortable. I do wish it had a pull out feature to sleep on but I have it in the Man Cave so I don't really need the bed right now. It fits in very well and as stated is very comfortable. The cushions are firm, almost hard but are not too hard. This is nice to not bog up in them as some I have tried out. The black suede color is very nice as well. It seems to blend with most any decor you might have. The feel to the touch is smooth and nice. Not sure how it will resist staining or how well it will hold up to use, but I think it may hold up pretty well. Time will tell. All in all I think if you are looking for a plain Futon without sleeping functions, this is the one. I hope this review helps someone in making a purchase decision.

    Mainstays Memory Foam Futon
    I received this last weekend and I fell in love with it. It was easily assembled and just looks great and comfortable and now whenever a friend wants to stay, he has someplace to land. I just throw a cover over it to keep it clean and it is a great addition to my living room. I would recommend it anyone looking for a Futon for additional siting or sleeping.

    I recommend it
    I'm giving it a 5 out of 5 stars because it's exactly what was described. It's nice looking and does the job. I do think it's a tad bit low but maybe that's just all futons- it does the job and looks nice. Husband had no problem putting it together! If you need a nice futon, I recommend it!

    Was Skeptical, Now Satisfied
    Shipping: 4 days early (wonderful) Assembling: extremely easy to assemble Product: I was somewhat skeptical based on the reviews, but I went ahead and ordered. I got the Black Suede Fabric because this is the one that didn't have the warning notice under “specifications” stating its fabric/leather may cause cancer or health issues. I assembled and tried laying down on in, and it's very comfortable. The height is perfect. Overall, no complaints.
