I bought this for camping. It's light and easy to carry. I slept well on it. It's well worth the money. :)

My son and his wife bought this in navy for me to sleep on when I visited them in Portland. It was so comfortable that I ordered this in brown and slept on it when they visited so they could have my room. There is not enough room for more than one adult on the futon. It is comfortable, easy to store and single sheet set fit it perfectly. I got the same wiener dog flannel sheet set they did at Costco for about $15. The futon arrived tightly packaged in a box and plastic wrap so I had a struggle pulling it out of the box. I decided to just carefully cut the box which worked for me. I planned to air it out for a couple weeks but this one did not have an odor that others have commented on. My sons did smell and he aired it out. I would never had guessed. Fine purchase, nice to have a back-up sleeping plan. I chose brown because I have dark wood furniture and thought it would be ok to leave it rolled up in the corner when not in use. The navy is more attractive but the brown more practical. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the colors offered. I now store it in my closet shelf with the sheets waiting for their next visit.

Updated: after some back and forth, the seller has kindly given me the option to change the covers (the original ones cannot be removed but the replacement ones are used on top of the original mattresses). The now Burgundy color is as pictured, a saturated dark hue, and the black stitches and zipper match perfectly with this, so I guess my recommendation would be to stay away from the orange. Updated to 4 stars as it is a great comfortable product, but just be aware that due to the prohibitive return cost you will have to be totally sure this is the item/size/color you want as there is no margin for error!

Original review:
Description says "˜solid colors' and shows bright saturated hues. In real life, the color looks faded (got the orange) and the stitches are contrasted and white, while the zipper is grayish-tan. Overall this make the item look on the cheap side and actually more of a slightly bleached outdoor lounge chair pad than a futon. To clarify, the highlights and zipper colors are all the same orange as the actual mattress in the (photoshopped) product pictures. Be aware that the return is at your charge and you have to pay for shipment, so make sure this is exactly what you want and don't be picky about the looks or the actual color of the final product.
If you are looking for functionality, they seem sturdy and not too soft, just like any regular futon mattress.

Very comfortable. Fabric and foam/cotton or well stitched!!

It is what it is"¦but it sure doesn't resemble a "futon" type mattress as described. That's fine with me though, as I already knew that would be the case. I would however encourage the seller to think of better words to describe their item.

Here's what buyers should know:

1. It's thin, and it's going to get thinner. The padding is not very "full". It's much more like the chair seat cushion you would sit on at a dining room.

2. Kids will love it; adults could tolerate it. Basically, if you're a person with regular guests (adult sized), and think this may be a good alternative to a roll-away bed, or perhaps plan to sleep on it yourself, maybe think again.

3. It stinks, really, really, really bad. I mean really bad. That's pretty normal with factory mattresses or textiles, but this is bad. I had to air it out for 5 days in my garage, spraying it daily with a deodorizer. Most mattresses I've bought (though this isn't a mattress) aired out in 1 - 2 days max.

My conclusion. It's a giant-sized version of a chair seat cushion. Knowing my purchase was for a child guest, and that it was cheaper than a mattress, I was fine with that. But if you want something that will have a bit more use, pay $50 more and buy a memory foam mattress roll.
