Is it a problem for your guests using it as a king that one is shorter? Are the mattresses level for use as a king? Does it need an overlay?

Never a problem. It's been 5 years since I had this, but I think I had some kind of connector between them. My in-laws in their 60s loved it.

Ana,The length difference is generally not noticeable to guests once the bed is made up, and the mattresses sit level. If you plan to use it as a king, you can either put a single King fitted sheet over both mattresses (which may be just a bit loose), or you can look into a product such as the Create-A-King bed doubler (can be found on Amazon) which is a strap to hold the two mattresses together snugly to make it more like a King.

I've used it as a bed and have a Comfortaire Mattress on it..It has worked quite well. You should just make sure the end doesn't fold in...It doesn't hurt anything, but it makes the surface unevenly supported.

off topic a bit, but we were looking at a sleep number bed because our mattress was sagging somewhat and they claim they don't sag. Yet, I've read other reviews besides yours that after some time, they lose pressure in the hip area and then the user has to raise the sleep number setting and eventually it's at 100 and still not supporting. We liked the beds in the showroom, but this was a concern. Also that it seemed a bit high maintenance- the pumps and adjustments and their sliding scale warranty policy. thanks!

I have a king size bed and it is only a couple of inches above the floor. It is a really nice bed spread and it was great not to have to fight with a separate bed skirt. This was well worth the money.

It is! One of the selling points for me is the low height since I purchased it for my 4 year old who occasionally falls out. As far as standard beds go, this is on the "shorter" side.

Agree with Mike H. The slats were just a hair too short. My husband (weight: 240) laid on his side and a few of the slats instantly fell out. For me (weight: 120), it was fine but I was a bit hesitant at first. Now that we've had the bed for about a month, so far so good. Overall, the structure of the bed is sturdy and feels sturdy.

Yes, they may be used as two full beds. As a matter of fact I am currently using them that way after having used them bunked for a few months. I was anxious to try out its versatility and functionality. I think that they work well both ways. I am happy to have that choice.

We have a new mattress! That is not the issue! There should be side and foot boards like shown in the photos! The headboard is wobbly without them!

I put a 4" trifold on one of mine for my guest and he liked it. I haven't stacked them. I use them as two separate individual cots when guests come.

Hi, Doug - I ordered the Full mattress - need to correct my review. I wouldn't recommend since the mattress in and of itself is 5" high. Contact the folks at Tuft and Needle for another option. They are quite helpful. https://www.tuftandneedle.com

We purchased the king for our queen bed. It was perfect without a skirt. So I'm guessing it may be a little short on an actual king bed for the way you want to use it. Sorry! Great comforter otherwise!!

I think it would be fine! I have had multiple guests since I put it in. I had it built (modified plans) to accommodate a deeper mattress (15 inches) than the one that the plans call for (12 inches). The mechanism is strong and smooth, easy to operate. I am sure it would be fine!

That is how we use it. I tent my side without all the covers tucked in at the bottom, but just the top blanket, to hold the others in place, or they would not cover up all the way to my shoulders. I have the support 13 inches higher than the mattress, and about the same distance in from the edge of the bed; yet, the other side of the King bed is flat [and all the blankets able to be tucked in]. I love it. My toes do not bruise from the weight of blankets in cold Northwest nights.

No. My floors are a little uneven and the frames hinges seem to have allowed to to adjust adequately. With a mattress on top I don't notice any uneveness. Worst case is that you could put some pieces of wood underneath feet as needed to level.

I have two beds, a twin and double; they have no under side. With a standard mattress the top of the bed is fairly high, a thicker mistress would be difficult for all but NBA players to climb up on.

Hi Catherine, its not, ours is a normal mattress and the high its perfect, with the pillow top will not work Will be too low. The rails are great, and easy to wash and clean

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.
