How does this futon work as an ottoman? I would need to fold it and use it as one, do not have room to store it.

I have only used it as a futon. It is stored at my son's because they use it for sleepovers for friends of their young children so I can't actually set it up as an ottoman to try it out for you. Sorry.

I keep mine folded at the foot of my bed, usually it acts as a bench or even a table (I keep a plant on it). It's firm and a comfortable height to sit or put your feet up on. It's wide enough that sitting cross-legged is comfortable and makes sense. It's useful in a variety of ways.

If you are asking about the brown one( 6 inches) then, definitely yes. It is thick enough when it is folded to use as a "coffee table" or ottoman. The three inch one would be too thin for that purpose. Good idea, by the way!

I have no idea really...my son took it to his college room, spread it out on the floor and I think has never folded it up since then.

It came in one box, rather large, but narrow. The futon is open like a mattress in the box. The legs are actually stored in the mattress. Screw the legs on, attach the end cushions. fold into a locked position and you're ready to go. I'm a 63 year old woman and I put mine together by myself. It should fit through the door with no problem. I was lucky, the delivery man brought it in for me, rather than leave it in the porch.

I don't believe so. It is a typical spring mattress and does not readily fold. It comes compressed and rolled up, but as soon as you release it from its bindings it quickly springs open and inflates. It would not work with a futon, I believe.

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.

Yes its a futon bed you can sit on it,if you lift the bak up it lays down into a sleeper.It just doesnt come with the little ottoman

This mattress is too thick and stiff to be folded. I don't think it is suitable for a futon or for folding it up.

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.

The correct answer is NO. I bought this mattress for the exact purpose of putting on a futon and am disappointed with the results. Folding up into couch position is fine (the mattress is very squishy) and lying on the mattress in bed form is OK (I weigh 190 lbs and could *maybe* feel the futon slats underneath, but not too bad). The issue is that when folded into couch form and you sit on it *you will feel the slats on your butt*. It is not comfortable. I really wish I'd gotten the 8-inch mattress instead, but I'm not even sure that would have been enough. Edit: My futon is one of the nice wooden ones with lots of slats. If you have a cheap metal futon, this will not work AT ALL. The correct answer is NO. I bought this mattress for the exact purpose of putting on a futon and am disappointed with the results.

It is not really meant to be packed up or folded after it is opened from its shipping package. If you had a place to stash it without folding it or compacting it then I think it would make a great bed. Its pretty firm but still comfortable. I've pulled it off my sofa and slept on my wood floors when I had many people staying.

It probably wouldn't fold at all. It's a bit of a firm mattress. It's not like a futon mattress at all.

Yes, it does fold down for storage. I had a hard time with mine because one of the "buttons/joints" does not come apart as easily as the others. Otherwise, it is pretty quick and easy to put up and take down. You can easily take it down and slide it behind a couch or something.

You won't be able to hide this mattress in the couch. You'll have to store it elsewhere and just lay it on top when you need it. It's way to bulky to fold. But yes, it's very comfortable.

It does fold up, however being a bit large you better have a large closet to store it in. I keep mine up for easy and often use.

futon mattresses are designed to fold. this one is not. you might make it work if you strapped it down at the fold and at both ends but its 8 inches thick and will only fold with difficulty. i wouldn't try it.

The ottomans are great and are a good place to store things. Additionally, they become chairs when the table is fully extended vertically. Lastly, yes, you can remove the ottomans and store them or give them away, but I personally love them for their different functions. This same unit at a furniture store is about $200 more plus tax and $80 shipping. Love this table!

No. It does not fold for storage. Only the built in ottoman slides beneath the seat for storage. However we have been pleased with the purchase. Only wish that the chair back was adjustable.

To wrap up everyone else's answers: Yes it can be used as a futon bed mattress, however you won't be able to fold the futon back into a "sitting/couch" position because the mattress is much too thick and heavy.
