Lucid LUCID 4 Inch Folding Sofa and Play Mat - Comfortable and Durable Foam - Washable Cover - Twin XL, Gray

(**NOW, with UPDATES!!! PLEASE READ THE STUFF AT THE BOTTOM.**) I was creating an Asian-style bedroom for myself so I wanted to try an Asian-styled sleeping option too. First I was looking at some of the more "traditional" Japanese floor futons filled with cotton and wool. Almost committed to buying one of those here when this product came up on one of my searches. Now I had seen the foam pad "shikibutons," but, those particular ones didn't look or sound that appealing. When I saw that this foam bed was made of **memory foam** instead of regular foam, that sounded much nicer. The intro price for this (got it for $86.99 + free shipping from Amazon) was pretty competitive with the other floor sleepers. What ultimately sucked me in completely was the fact that this product was covered by Amazon's guarantee. You've got 30 days to see if it...well...doesn't suck. Also the company that makes it offers a 3-year warranty. Most off-the-floor mattresses don't have that. Those factors helped me to make the final decision to buy. Now, here's the experience of a 5-foot 9-inch, 190(ish) pound male-- Comfy Factor: After setting it up and sleeping on it for a few days I can say that it is EXTREMELY comfortable! (I'll throw in a YAY for that just like the 1st reviewer Miyoko.) 4 inches of **memory foam** is more than enough to feel great. The foam used in this feels like quality. It has enough firmness to keep me off the ground while still being soft enough to be cushy. I sleep on all sides but tend to be primarily a side-sleeper. I haven't felt the ground yet. Smells: The smell right out of the box wasn't bad at all. All **memory foam** has at least a slight smell but this was very mild. I let it air out for a couple of hours and then found myself taking a nap on it. Dozed off for two hours. No headaches, dizziness, etc. If you're chemically sensitive you may not want to use synthetic bedding options though, just to be safe. Traditional cotton futons might be a better bet for you. Materials & Construction: Like I said, the foam feels like very good quality. Just like with anything only time will tell how long it remains cushy/firm and repels body impressions. The cover is pretty much the same thing you find covering the cushioning on really good hiking backpacks. It's that breathable polyester mesh which is very tough stuff. Think of it as poly-chainmail protecting your mattress. It helps the foam to breathe and air out. It also seems to be good for NOT picking up lint and crap off the carpet. Nothing seems to stick to it too badly. It's very easy to brush off with your hand. It seems like it's very well constructed. Good and strong stitching of the cover to hold it all together. It does have zippers but it's NOT a removable or washable cover. Other Functions / Convertibility: I think they should have said floor chair instead of "sofa" in the description. I sat in it like in the picture and it is comfy. A bit awkward but comfy. Think of it as a close-to-the-ground-leaning-sideways chair. (I'll upload pics in a bit.) However... if you leave the two large pads folded out and just fold the two smaller pads together it DOES make a very nice floor lounger. That worked great for me. I throw a couple of pillows on it and lean back and it's like reclining on a cloud. Try it!!! Size: It is 39 inches wide and 6 feet and 3 inches long. Weight: Well, the shipping weight said 16 pounds. Opened up it's very lightweight. Maybe 7 pounds. Not sure. Almost anyone could move it around easily I think. Sheets & Covers: Twin sheets fit it perfectly. Don't need deep pocket ones, just regular ones. I bought a microfiber set and it fits like a glove. So far it seems like I made the right choice and I'm very happy with it. I'll give further updates on how well it holds up in the future. Anyone feel free to ask any questions if you need further info. Happy sleeping!!!!! **UPDATE (July 25, 2013): OK, I had to update the folks here on something. The mattress is NOT actually "memory foam." It used to say this in the original listing. It is now listed as "flexible polyurethane foam." I do wish LinenSpa had gotten their advertising facts straight before they started selling. (1 point off for them.) The memory foam tag WAS a selling point for myself and others. To me it's still very comfy though. I've been using it as my primary bed and I still really like it. It feels soft enough by my standards, and I'm NOT overweight. I wouldn't give it up. However, since it's not memory foam (after their correction) I'm very glad I got it for $86.00--hehe. My advice...get it when it's below $100. MAYBE LinenSpa ought to be giving at least partial refunds for the misleading original listing? Extra notes: Bedding is a very personal thing. No one mattress will feel the same to everyone. This one is not by any means hard, but, it is not soft like a fluffy-wuffy bag of goose down either. Also, if you're going to complain about the cover being scratchy and uncomfortable...ummmm...try using some sheets on it. I mean, who sleeps on a mattress (any mattress) without covering it? A cave troll? Just felt like saying that. **February 11, 2014: Yep, I'm still using it and it's holding up great. Still my primary bed. An extra note: I noticed in one of the customer's pictures that their's had a handle. Mine does not. Probably an addition made to later models.

I love this thing! I've only had it forrrrr...... about two weeks. BUT I had it in my cart for almost a year, weighing the options, looking into other beds and mats and even hammocks. The version I got was the queen size- it is in fact, FULL QUEEN SIZE! Super nice, since I was on couch cushions for the longest. It folds up nicely against my wall. Mostly, I use it that way as a cat bed, the foam gives a lot so you kinda sink in. At first, my cat did not like to be near me on it, I think these is a slight -new bed- smell that throws'im off, but I didn't notice anythin'. It fully expanded from the bag in about two days as it said on the bag. (I still slept on it the first night I got it) It's easy to just make your bed, fold it up and blam, cute couch outta the way. I don't really have any negatives right now. That may change! But as is, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. I have a severe case of wanderlust and this will also be serving as a bed on the road when I'm drivin' my van around. :> It's portable, it fits in my tent and you can keep your bed sheets on it folded, so you don't need more space for that! If you're tired of owning giant, stupidly space-taking beds... Grab this!! I got it at about $150 and I am satisfied. I recommend also to get to your local fabric store, grab a few large sheets of faux fur and fleece, stitch the fleece to the furs, BLAM. Snuggly winter blankets. Feel like a viking while you slumber like royalty! WHERE EVER YOU ARE! UPDATE!! December 8, 2016; I woke up today, folded the mattress and found a massive amount of moisture underneath. First instinct, yell at the cat. But I noticed it was me-sized. Which got me questioning my own muscle control. BUT. The sheets on top are bone dry, still dryer fresh! And my own clothes are clean as well. Further investigatin' and online reading brought up condensation. As this is a cooler time of the year, It would make sense.. I suggest finding a yoga mat, or raised slats to put this on in the winter, I guess! More Update!! May 9, 2017; I found out that the moisture build up was because I had been vaping like a monster and filling my small space with said vapor. SO. Still fantastic! I haven't washed the cover of it yet. But will be attempting so tomorrow! Queen sheets fit perfectly! Plus you can fold it up with the sheets still on it! Still my only bed, still springy and comfy. I still recommend it to anyone.

A very good quality folding mattress that has nice comfort folded out and folds to create a fairly comfortable folded seat. Good quality durable removable cover.

Just what my guests need. Easy to fold up and fit sheets on.

We originally intended for this to be an occasional guest bed but it ended up being used for about 6 months straight as a primary bed. It is firm (which I prefer) and is more comfortable than most beds I've slept on. It is still like new. It does take up a lot of closet space when folded but is worth it for the quality. We use it with a folding bed frame so guests don't have to sleep on the floor. I wish it had a removable slip cover but I just tuck a regular fitted sheet around it. Since it's a foam product I do recommend letting it offgas for a week or two before using.

We bought this bed as somewhere to sleep when we had our parents come visit. We slept on it for a week and it was comfortable enough - I wouldn't want to sleep on it much longer than that though since it's a bit firm. The couch folds up cute, we have a blanket that matches our normal couch so it looks really nice, and turns out we use it almost everyday. It's really nice having a quick pull out mattress right in the livingroom! I'm really satisfied with it, the quality seems quite good. I would say though, it is NOT memory foam, but i think it's preferable - it keeps its shape as well as firmness level.

I've recently made a decision to move to the floor for sleeping and sitting after a trip to Japan; I found it to be way more comfortable and, especially with sleeping, it was better for my body. Wasn't exactly sure what to go for when it came to beds, as I live in Canada, so I was just looking for a mattress that folded. This turned out to be way better than I anticipated. This mattress offers a good balance between being soft enough to not be uncomfortable, but not too thick as to lose the firmness of the floor. If you're in the market for a floor mattress this would be a solid bet; closest I've found to a traditional Japanese shikibuton/futon.
