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.

It is good for the price. It definitely does not compare to $1000 sofa. The sofa is not wide and maybe not comfortable for big guys.

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!!

It is very firm. However I have some grossly overweight people in my family and I have had concerns about the strength of the frame. Overall, though, I am very happy with the couch. Easy to clean. Very presentable.

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.

The short answer: no. My wife and I looked for a sleeper bed that we liked for months. After deciding that traditional sleeper sofas weren't for us (we find them generally ugly and uncomfortable) we settled on this one. It was a little more than we wanted to spend but we have really liked it so far. It opens up to give guests a lot of space and with a cheap foam topper it is pretty comfy if you like a firmer bed. This was the only one that we could find that had a click clack style back and a pull out leg part. I think if you want one that is fabric you may need to get a traditional one or get a cover. We've had ours now for 6 months and have really liked it.

It is thick enough I use mine as a sofa and my husband falls asleep on it several times. But if I was to use as a bed I would use a mattress pad or comforter for extra cushioning.

It's holding up just fine, but it's a weekend sofa for us. But when we are there for the weekend it's my husband, me, and our 85lb Blackmouth Cur L.D. so it gets a workout.

U do not sink into the loveseat but it's not hard either. I think it is very comfortable. It's not a high end sofa but a very good buy 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.

Its a good sofa set. Just make sure you follow directions putting it together. I have two kids ages 9 and 12 and a nefew who comes over durning school breaks and sleeps on the sofa, its been almost a year and the sofa is holding up very well. I think that if the kids didnt jump in the furniture it would be even nicer, but even with them using the furniture as playground equiptment and sleeping quarters it is still very sturdy.

It's not the most comfortable sofa, but definitely not the worst. It's pretty low and deep so you sit somewhat in a reclining position. I find it a great buy for the price, but I am sure you could get something more comfortable if you want to spend for it.

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.

The mattress folds perfectly into the ottoman and is quite comfortable. I would say, yes a better mattress could b used if one is the type of person who finds nothing good enuf and likes to spend money, like a diva.

mine is pretty firm. about the same as a sofa. not as firm as a chair. I sit on it to put my socks and shoes on.

I've had it for about a year now as my bed and it's held up well. I haven't had it upright (as a couch) since it was first assembled.

With 1 being concrete and 10 being a cloud, I would give this sofa a 4. I wasn't instantly disappointed at how firm it was. I prefer sofas that are more cushiony and lounge/nap-friendly. I decided to sleep on it the very first night to give it a test run and woke up the next morning in pain. I've since added pillows to help make it bearable for sitting, but I would not recommend this sofa for anything but sitting.
