In lieu of spending big bucks to replace our worn out old mattress/boxspring/bed frame, we decided to ditch a traditional bed altogether and go with a simple floor mattress instead. We don't have furry pets, wear shoes indoors and vacuum several times a week, so a floor bed makes sense. It only had a very mild "new" odor that quickly dissipated, unlike many new items that reek of chemicals for weeks. It is very firm and comfortable to sleep on this. I have not had any of the neck or upper back pain I was starting to develop from our old bed after a few weeks of sleeping on this instead. It also doesn't squeak, creak or bounce every time I or my husband moves the tiniest bit on it like our old bed did. As someone who always makes our bed in the morning, folding it up frees up so much room during the day in our tiny bedroom Just fold up the mat and blankets then stack everything up on top. Doesn't protrude farther into the room than our night stands do. Being so lightweight makes it easy to move to vacuum. And even though they are made for a deeper mattress and are a tad loose on the edges, our old standard queen fitted sheets work fine on this and do not slide off, so even more money saved on buying new bedding when we really didn't need it. Not a fancy looking bed but very practical, comfortable and affordable. Will also not be a major PITA to move when we sell this place in a year or 2. Satisfied with the purchase.
