What mattress did you buy for the bed? When it's a chair, I need it all folded up and I am not sure which mattress can be folded into 3. Thanks.

I don't know if any mattress can fold into 3 very well, but I can tell you the 10-inch Mosaic mattress does NOT. I also wanted mine to be able to fold and look like a seat, but it doesn't even come close.

The bed is folded/squished when it arrives. You have to unfold it and it will expand to full size within a few hours. When I saw the box I thought for sure it was a mistake and they had shipped a small-size bed... but it was correct. It is perfect.

You have to buy the sheets from Guava family. The mattress is NOT the standard size of pack and plays unfortunately. (I don't understand why it's not sold together since you are forced to buy their sheets anyways.) Also, the sheets that they sell have the cut-outs for the velcro straps that fit through and attach to the crib.)

We are currently using 12 inch memory foam mattresses (we have 3, one queen and two full). Seems fine, but I am contemplating on adding sanded plywood or some sort of flat surface for additional support. It's also a little lower than a standard bed, the other option instead of plywood would be using a box spring. I agree with the other reviewers, the center legs are very tiny. The slats are also not "finished" (sanded), so it does damage the part of the tucked sheet, thus my thought on using finished plywood or better yet, a box spring.

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.

I found twin size Serta mattress on sale & also another on a trundle underneath for sleepovers. Both work great.

The whole mattress is memory foam. It doesn't really "fold up". It came in shrink wrap so it was neatly rolled up. as soon as i started opening the shrink wrap, it started expanding quickly to full size.

It didn't have a mattress, just a "spring" insert. My springs gave out in less than a year. I bought a new set of furniture that has foam and spring inserts so that I can replace them if it becomes necessary. You can probably by a couple of 4 inch twin size foam pieces and try that but they are really expensive.

There is a cover in this mattress. I guess you could cut it to fit another purposeful, but I would'nt want to do it, as the warranty would not longer be valid and you could message it up, to where it might not be useable anymore.

Hello Chelsea,My mattress is quite heavy which made fold up hard but, you've purchased a great steady product. You have to lift the back and kind of pull up on the front at the same time. Stand behind what would be the back and try and lift close to end and pull up on front end while lifting back. Mercy, took lots of practice for me. But trust it's a great futon. YOU CAN DO IT. Best,Loretta

Mattresses need to be purchased separately. There is not much space for a standard mattress for the trundle so suggest getting a 6 inch thiick one from IKEA.

The mattress is incredibly stiff the first few times. I'd recommend removing the mattress and then folding it up, then put the mattress on there and force it into place.

haven't had mine a year yet...had mine about 7 months and i love it. Its very stiff though hard to make the futon fold, which is a downer. But, it is very comfortable and i sleep on it every night this is a great buy for the price and quality. You wont be let down other than the folding issue but like i said you will be satisfied with this mattress. Hope this helps you have a great day:)

I fold the frame and slip the folded mattress inside the folded frame and then into the cover. You can't fold the frame and mattress together.

off topic a bit, but we were looking at a sleep number bed because our mattress was sagging somewhat and they claim they don't sag. Yet, I've read other reviews besides yours that after some time, they lose pressure in the hip area and then the user has to raise the sleep number setting and eventually it's at 100 and still not supporting. We liked the beds in the showroom, but this was a concern. Also that it seemed a bit high maintenance- the pumps and adjustments and their sliding scale warranty policy. thanks!

Fold the part where the pillow is ALL THE WAY forward, this releases it so the back can be put into multiple positions. Then fold the bottom piece up and you have the chair. It's a little confusing at first but you'll figure it out. I love this chair, I actually have 4 of them.
