It really depends on the frame you use. a Frame that folds into slightly tilted up couch (like a garden swing) works best because then the weight of the mattress (its actually quite heavy) will keep it in place once folded.

Mine will not fold back into couch mode. It keeps slipping forward on the frame. Really a disappointment.

Yes its actually a very comfortable couch. I have a strong wood frame though I don't know if it'd be different with a metal one

We used this to replace a futon mattress. It remains in couch mode most of the time in a spare bedroom. At the moment the room is doubling as an office bedroom for a friend that needed a place to live for a while. She reports that the mattress is quite comfortable and works well retiring to the couch position. The aesthetics were less important to us than the practicality of being able to provide a second guest room.

I would say, yes, you would need to strip it down to get it to fold up, I mean you could try it, but the sheets and bedding would probably prevent the complete folding. I strip mine down and use it as a foot stool and extra seat in living room when I'm not using as an extra bed.

Yes, you can fold it up when not in use. It is a medium weight, crinkly material so it will not fold up smoothly, but it does fold.

I believe it is too thick and dense to fold into a sofa bed. The foam is dense and heavy. It could be rolled and stored though

I would not recommend this couch. It has some sort of wire in the cushions like a mattress and the part the cushions sit on is like cargo straps that you can feel when you're sitting on it. It's very light and my young son was able to push it around because there is nothing holding the 2 halves of the couch together. We have had the couch for about a month. I don't think it will last a year. I don't know if they have Big Lots or anything like that around you, but I would look there. This couch will be the last piece of furniture without sitting on it in person. I hope this was helpful.

It's very springy--you can bend it as much as you like, but it will return to flat as soon as you let go of it. (Heaven help anyone who is trying to re-wrap it to send it back!) It also has a tendency to slip to one side or the other and require frequent re-positioning, pretty much every time you make the bed. I'm going to try to invent something involving snaps and elastic to keep it in place better. But as far as folding without damage--it might get a crease if it's folded tight, but that will even out in a day or so once it's released.

I leave it out in my basement for two reasons. One, if I had to drag it out from under the bed, it wouldn't get used as often. Two, unless your bed is higher than most, it will not fit and even if you take the stability bar off, what it fits into would have to be removed from the legs every time. It does come folded, but it takes almost 20 minutes to put it together (minimum 20 minutes), so unless you are more determined than I am, I would not do that every time I decide to use it.

Once you get the end pieces in it is pretty much stationery. However you could pop the ends out and fold it back up. If you are looking for the type of bed that folds in two and sits neatly in a corner then this would not work. But as I said it you can pop the ends off and fold it somewhat.

If folded properly, and I have done it both the right way and wrong. It takes up about the same size as a medium pillow. You can try to fold it again after that however I didn't want to try.

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.

Hi,If you unfold it and flex it a little, it will lay flat. It is a little stiff but if you flex it once or twice it will lay flat. If you don't flex it, it will fold up.

When placed on a couch, it's plenty good as a bed. On a hard floor...? I would say temporary at best.

Maybe I dont know if it would fold up very good in the sofa. I would definitely put straps on it to hold it in place. It doesn't stay in place very well on the bed.

We got this end of January of this year, so had it almost 6mths & it's used every day on a couch that doubles as a bed. We don't take if off when using the couch, & so far it has held up really well. Wasn't sure how long it would last, especially with daily use & many people sitting on it, but am pleasantly surprised. It hasn't flattened at all, just isn't white anymore as the dye from black sheets has rubbed off on it. We take it off on the weekends to let it air out, & it gets rolled up & put in the corner till Sunday night.

The frame is not bad. Just a couple of wingnuts. The matress would be a bigger hassle in my opinion. I'd go with a rollaway couch or futon unless you want to put into storage when not in use.

It is comfortable as a couch to sleep on, less so as a bed because of the fold. We put an additional pad from ikea on top when guests come.

I think it will fold nicely but don't know how it will wear if folded for a long time. we are very happy with our mattress.
