Its OK.

8" Mattress; As a mattress it gets the job done. Soft enough to sleep on without much issue. As a futon it is impossible to get the frame to articulate into the upward position with this mattress on it. Hopefully it will break in over time so that we can fold it up without needing to remove the mattress. I'm a bit shocked at myself for the part I am about to write; It was packaged TOO TIGHT. The box is glued together so well, you will need a box cutter/knife/sharp scissors/the will of the Lord Almighty Himself in order to get this open. Like, not normal levels of adhesion going on here. To top things off, my packing bag had a small tear, so the mattress started to inflate sometime during shipping, making it very difficult to unpack without potentially ripping the mattress with the above listed items of destruction. If I made this purchase again, I would probably go with the 6". This is just a futon, not a permanent fixture to sleep on every night. 8" was overkill.
