I want to use this on TOP of our sofa (NOT opened as a sofa bed, but on top of the sofa). Anyone have experience with doing this?

I don't think it will work well. That being said, if the dimensions are the same and you are looking to replace the previous cushions, I suppose you could try it. The worst case scenario is that you would end up with an extra sleeping bed for company.

I believe you can find many of these tri-folds including this brand in a more narrow width of 27 inches that might fit well on your sofa.

And MZ made a comment about this sofa being uncomfortable so I thought I would elaborate just a little more on this point it is a more firm sofa you're not going to sink in and be embraced but the 6 people that have couch surfed and called this a bed have had nothing bad to say about it, some even preferred it over my bed, as someone who hosted a lot of movie/ study nights and used the hell out of this sofa I never had a problem. Mine still looks brand new :)

I have only used mine by laying on it. I never thought about using it while watching tv but we have a leather sofa so I'm not sure that I want it near the sofa.Good luck with your method. Have you contacted the company to ask them?I also stand on mine barefooted. It feels good afterwards.

You know, I thought of doing the same thing! I honestly do not think it would be too soft. My sofa cushions are pretty soft themselves, could be because they are old. If you do this, please let me know how it turns out.

I wish I could tell you a special trick to use but my daughter folded the couch into position before I got home. She did it by herself which surprised me because it is very heavy.Maybe if you got another person to help, you could put it in place. I know I could not have done it alone.

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

Hi Vanesa! Yes, I don't see why you couldn't do that. I have done that before with a mattress very similar to this one. Sound like a great idea! If mine wasn't used as a guest bed I would do the same. My friends say it's pretty comfortable so you have one lucky dog!

My son never uses this in a the sofa position, but he says with his type of mattress, it probably would slip/overhang the bottom some, with nothing to stop it. He uses the thicker/firmer type futon mattress.... In the flat position, we give it 5*'s though.... nice and solid!!

Only if you put it at the top of the bed only. You would need to really stretch it and loose "the look" if you tried to do it sideways.

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.

Never tried but I'm sure you could, just as long as your sofa isn't too soft. You lose your back support.

I suppose you could try...it has ties which you typically place along the box spring and then place the mattress on top of it to anchor it, but I imagine you could tuck it or wrap it somehow into the back of the couch cushions and have it be secure enough. Not completely sure it would stay up.

I don't know. I think it would depend on the sofa. Does it have a fabric finish? I have a leather sofa and I think it might work better on leather as it's a harder surface, but I'll sample it and get back to you. Thanks.

I don't see why not. I think I remember reading a review that someone did that and put their TV on top. I ordered a second one for upstairs since my wife took over the first one.

I put mine on top of our old box spring, worked fine. Bed sets a little lower with this mattress as it is not as thick as our old foam mattress was.

I'm guessing here as I haven't tried it- I bet it would be fine when laid flat on frame as a bed- if there's enough support. But it wouldn't be able to sit up by itself as a couch when bed is flipped up, would be too floppy I think. That said, we have pulled it off the sofa fold out before and put it next to the kids bed in bedroom on floor for sleepovers- it really is quite comfortable even if only a few inches thick.
