Can you feel the bars through the mattress?

No you can not. I recommend getting a box spring plus your mattress; if not you will definitely feel the bars through your mattress alone.

I bought a 8 in memory foam mattress to go with it and we don't feel the bars through it. Not sure how a regular mattress would do with it.

No. If you have an average thickness mattress you shouldn't be able to feel the bars.

I bought two twin size frames and one king size frame for my guest rooms. I had 4" memory foam on the twin frames and 6" on the king. My guests slept very well - no bumps, lumps, pokes or sagging. So no - you don't feel the frames with your average thickness mattress - even memory foam mattresses.

No, no bars felt. Very comfy. The full bed frame is squeaky with 2 people. The single is great. Very pleased.

No not at all. My whole family has these games and my kids mattresses are fairly thin. Even in their beds I can't feel it.

No, not for using like that. They would compress too much to be useful for that I think. They work ok as bed rails but they're not so firm as the actually elevate the mattress significantly.

Kind of. When you push in on it with your hand you can feel clumps of memory foam. It is kind of hard to describe the feeling but it is a pleasent feeling. It is very suddle and when laying on it you don't feel it at all.

There is a bar running across the middle of the mattress (just like a fold-out sofa bed.) The mattress is 2 1/2" thick foam, supported by a canvas sling attached to small springs all around the edge. Unless the sleeper is very light weight or a child, the bar can be felt through the mattress. I purchased a 3" twin size memory foam mattress topper to use with it, which solves the problem (and the topper squishes enough to fold into the ottoman without removing it each time.)

No, it doesn't change the feel of my memory foam mattress. It's just like having a sheet over the mattress. The only drawback is that it makes a slight crinkly noise when you move around.

I have this mattress a loft bed that has many metal bars across for support and you cannot even feel them. This is a very nice supportive mattress.

I got it for my son, he does feel the bar across, he sleeps on one side and puts his clothes and stuff on the other side! I would buy a memory foam mattress for it, if I slept in it...

No it is slatted with metal bars. Very comfy and fine with just our mattress on it.

Yes, or if you strech it on the sides, it will be move towards the bottom/under the mattress. There is no way to get around that, the top part is still good though, from my experience!

John - The horizontal U-shaped bar goes under the mattress, typically between it and the box spring. The strap wraps around the mattress and anchors at the horizontal bar. When installed found the entire apparatus to be quite sturdy, and it did not impact comfort.

i dont know this because we do not use it as a sleeper, only for the sofa. the sofa is great, but the mattress is very, very thin and no matter how you try to fix it, you feel the bars everywhere you sleep. we have put cardboard under the mattress, but you can still feel the bars! i dont know if you purchased a thicker mattress if you could close it during the day, but it might help with the bar problem.BUT the most comfortable sofa !

Of course you can. That's how its advertised. I have a memory foam mattress on mine.

Yes! Once I opened my mattress I put it right on my frame and since then it bends and unbends without a problem!

Roseann, I don't believe anything can completely keep you from feeling those terrible bars, but using the memory foam along with the futon mattress would be a huge improvment. Hope this helped

I guess it depends on how prominent the bar is. I think it would greatly reduce the amount you feel the bar, even if it is really bad. I have used similar foam toppers over bad spring mattresses with super results.

I don't feel like it does. My mattress is memory foam, and the pad works perfectly well with it.

The supports are folded down inside bottom of settee. You unzip on either end the open and pull down. The bed is very comfortable, firm and solid feel. You do not feel the bars at all
