I'm 5'10 and weigh 170. Is this better than buying the 75$ floor futon? I just want optimal comfort.

My boyfriend is very tall and around 200lbs, we used this for camping and found it to be comfortable, but we have not used it for any other reason. Loved the convenience of being able to roll it to store it.

I use this futon on my hardwood floors for occasional overnight guests or for extra lounging space while watching TV. I'm not sure if you have carpeting where you live, but I think the carpeting factor might make more a difference than the futon itself. This, as well as the frequency that you plan on sleeping on it will make or break your opinion on it. Also, when you say optimal comfort, do you mean something that will give you firm support or soft support? I would say that my set-up provides firm support, but it does not feel like you're digging your hip into the floor when sleeping on your side. It was definitely a great price for the size and quality. I hope this helps! I use this futon on my hardwood floors for occasional overnight guests or for extra lounging space while watching TV.

Overall, the bed is very comfortable! You do not feel like you will fall off when turning from one side to another. Also, I find that I do not have to re-inflate the bed very often, as I have a house guest (about 280lb & 5' 11") that has been using it on a nightly basis for the past 3 months without complaint. For longterm use, I found using a 1" temperpedic mattress pad made this bed even more comfortable.

My ceiling is very high, It's a double story ceiling. I am only 5 feet. I read the otheranswers and am wondering if you weigh the recommended amount. I feel like I can jump really high though if I am not careful. I do weigh the recommended amount. Maybe I am not going as high as I think. I guess if you weigh enough you will be ok.

I think it handles it well! I am ~200lbs and my wife is ~110lbs. She is a light sleeper and is usually rustled when I get up for work in the morning. With this mattress I feel you don't feel as much movement than other tradiitonal spring mattresses we had used. I hope that helps!

To me it has a comfortable, solid feel but it is not feather-light. I'm six foot tall and weigh 200 lbs. My 5'-4" wife thinks it is a little heavy for her. I still love it.

My spouse and I use this instead of a regular mattress as a compromise: I'm used to sleeping on much thinner, firmer futon and this is about as soft as I can go without tying myself in knots, and they're used to sleeping on a much softer standard western style mattress and find this comfortable. It's definitely firmer than a western style mattress, but it still has a fair amount of give and softness to it. The quality of this futon is very high, and if it does get compressed, you really do just have to shake it a bit to get it back to a fluffier state (though with the queen sized one, that is a two person endeavor).

Hi this cot is actually used by my husband. 200lb 5'10. He says sturdy and good to turn over. His buddy has one with no complaints as well . They say it is comfortable. Hope this helps.

I'm 6-3 235 lbs and the bed works great. It is very sturdy and well worth the money. If I could do it all over again, I would go with the automatic it's only $300 or so more. Good Luck.

I wouldn't want to say what heavy is or not but we keep it set up all the time and it's quite good. We have a reoccurring guest (170lbs) who uses it 3-4 days in a row with no complaints. And the kids totally love it because they say the mattress is so comfy. They don't even dent it when they lay on it (90lbs). My husband (220ish) uses it here and there and says it's good but hasn't used it any longer than two nights in a row. If it's transitional or you can't buy a bed right now for someone in the house, I think it's a great option. Way better than an aerobed option -- far better than a couch.

I think you would be fine. However realize this is not a bed you would probably want to use as a regular every night bed. My husband is 5' 10" and weighs about the same. He has laid on it for short periods (nap) and says it is fine for him. However neither of us has slept on the bed all night, we got it (we actually bought two because after I received the first I was so impressed I ordered another) mainly to use for guests beds, particularly for grand children,(some are adults). Hope this helps.

Yes , that is how I prefer it, as it makes the seating posture higher; When used as a bed I suggest at least an 8" or 10 " good mattress since there are spaced slots on the futon.

At closd to 250 the mattress is a dream for me. Very comfy. No aches, no difficulty getting on or off. Never tried the 10 inch tho so cant compare

I am 5"11 upwards of 180-200 lbs, I'm BIG. The couch is not as deep as other more exspensive couches however I fit pretty good. Laying down resting not a problem. This couch was purchased just for that!

My son is 280 lbs , 6'3 and has used this futon as a spare bed. He hasn't hit the floor yet. Although ............

I'm an arthritis-free, top-heavy 66-year old and have no trouble getting up from it. The futon is located at my beach place and I'm not at the moment but I could swear I read somewhere that it's 15" off the floor. Please read all the other Q&A;'s. You may find what you're looking for.

I only weigh 170 lbs so I don't know if my comments apply for 200 lbs. The mattress is surprisingly firm; it feels as if it should be adequate for 200 lbs. After I first get into bed it takes a minute or two for the mattress to conform and reach maximum comfort. Unfortunately, if I change position, it also takes a minute or two for the mattress to reform. This is my only complaint. As a result, I don't change position very often and have learned to sleep mostly on my back. Fortunately I now sleep better than I did with my previous mattress. My mattress is now 4 years old and has not developed any lumps or suffered any degradation. The mattress may not be perfect, but it is easy to live with.

I would suggest sticking with a spring mattress if you are concerned about weight/sagging. If you notice the store floor models of the solid "memoryfoams" they all have a bit of a sink from people just testing them --- I went with a combo model - individually wrapped coils/springs with only the outer layer memory foam. for us it was much better and breathes more cooler.
