Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

ive been using this as my only bed for probably about 3 months now. i waited to post a review till i had some time to really try it out. the reason i purchased it is because i have a small living space, and needed something to sleep on that was comfortable for my back, but easily put out of the way so i could use the space for other things. firstly this is very comfortable. its not huge, but im just under 6' tall and medium build, and its just great for me. second, its very compact. the mattress slides through the legs and closes up, but i just fold it in half and place it up and down against the wall with the folded bed in front of it to hold it in place. third, its easy to set up and take down. the first couple times were a little odd since it was new, but now i fold it up in less time than it takes to make a bed. i do it every morning, and it leaves all that open space to use as needed. though it feels somewhat lightweight, the construction feels pretty sturdy. i just wouldnt try to get too acrobatic on it since it does have a weight limit. i was attracted to the lack of plastic parts. i cant stand nicely made metal devices that have important moving parts made out of plastic. its just a cheap and crappy way to make things. this bed is built well and the important moving parts are all metal. thank you ibed!! the springs seem to help a lot for comfort. they creak a tiny bit sometimes, but very little. the frame is surrounded by springs connected to metal rods that support a nylon mesh type material between them. havent noticed any problems after months of sleeping on it so i think it will hold up. so thats the story. great bed, im really glad i bought it. i slept on a futon for years, and i like this much more. so easy to move around i think its a keeper. would not hesitate at all to buy one again, though i dont think i will need to. MARCH 30 UPDATE: still sleeping on this every night, still super comfortable! have let some guests use it to sleep on here and there and they said that it is very comfortable as well. great bed!!!!
