No, I am only able to fit on it with my three yr old. Two adults will not fit, it's the size of a small twin bed.

The measurements of the futon open are about 5'9" long and 3' 2 1/2" wide. I am 5' 7" and my daughter is 5'5" we slept on it. I guess it depends on what size frame the couple are and if they like to snuggle. We didn't snuggle.

There is enough room for two to sleep; however, I cannot guarantee comfort unless an additional mattress (futon) is used.

I really like this futon mattress it is very comfey and is well made. It has not squished down but we do not sleep on it alot so I really dont know if it will if it were used more often.

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.

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.

We have the twin version with a Sealy memory foam mattress. I sleep on it pretty regularly (not every night, but probably 2-3 nights a week) and I'm 250. so I would assume the full would be good for 2 people.

I think mijcar has the truth of it. I'm doing a low-budget version of what you describe: I have two of these side by side and the slightly-more expensive rolled futon (from the same company) on top of that. It's very comfortable. I have some movement under the "bedroll" because I'm laying lengthwise on it, but if I understand your plan you intend to be lying "against" the grain, so to speak, widthwise. If so, it should be fine. Actually, once I get a new place with more room I might well do the same thing you suggest. It's a good idea.

Sure you could use the memory foam mattress, but because you're not using a box spring I'd wonder if it would still be comfortable to sit/ sleep on? If I were you I'd simply go with a standard twin mattress.

Nope. The mattress is 10"s think and not soft enough to be 'bendable'- the futon frame could work as a base, but it won't fold.It's not hard, just kinda dreamy - I love it!

Yes, that's just how we used it. The futon frame was pretty stable, bit it fit well. Mattress is on the firm side but very comfortable.

I don't think so when its fully inflated its pretty much flat. Not bendable.u could use it if the futon stays in "bed position".

A spring mattress would work with the futon frame only as a bed. As a lounger, the mattress would have to have some flexibility to mold to the frame.

IF you are just using it as a bed I don't see why not, if it's folding into a couch, maybe not, matress may be too thick, I think they make memory foam mattresses just for futons though .

Yes. I've had this futon since September its elegant stylish n comfortable I use it for sleeping and as a sofa highly recommend it

We have had several guests sleep on it. None have complained. We do use a regular mattress on the bottom though instead of a Futon.

It is quite comfortable for sleeping. There is plenty of room and it does work very well for the occasional guest. In fact, I have just ordered the chaise lounge that matches the futon.

You could easily sleep two, average sized adults on the mattress; providing it holds air. The unit(s) I bought couldn't maintain air pressure through the night.
