Nirvana Futons Stanford Futon Set - Queen Size, Frame, 8" Mattress, Twill Khaki Tan Cover

The futon mattress, arms and frame come in 3 separate boxes. It states that in the description however I missed that. Fortunately they all arrived within a couple days of each other. The instructions were excellent as they were accurate, complete and all the parts were included. I appreciated the packaging as they even put the hardware in little bags and stapled a string to them and to the inside of the box so as not to lose them or accidentally throw them away with the box. Make sure you measure your doorways, thank goodness we did, we were able to put together the frames in the living room and carried them into the other room separately and attached the arms inside the room. It is a two person job to get it all put together. Mattress quality is very good and really comfortable and thick at 8 inches. We are very pleased with quality, ease of assembly and color.

We removed our old l-shaped couch from our RV because the faux leather was just coming off in small pieces everywhere. We looked at all types of replacement RV couches and recliners everywhere. After removing our old set and based on the fact that we had 80" of room, we finally decided that the Stanford set sold by DCG stores would fit our needs. After placing my order thru Amazon, several days later I contacted Amazon with a request to upgrade the mattress. Amazon contacted the vendor and relayed our request. Allana with DCG stores contacted me and explained the differences in materials, athesitics and details about the construction. We decided on the upgrade after working with her. What a wonderful knowledgeable person she is to work with. Well since this went down without a hitch, everything arrived in about 4 or 5 days. The mattress came first. We waited until we assembled the frame (about 2-hours) which wasn't hard at all and then unpacked the mattress. Instructions say to let it sit for about 48 hours. Within 3 or 4 hours it looks fantastic. The frame is assembled except we haven't attached to the arms as we have to move them into the RV to do that for easier installation. We will install tomorrow morning.We are so excited for this alternative setup since the couch we had from day one was never comfortable as a lot of RV furniture generally is not. Another issue we were concerned about was overall weight. This option is heavy, but not as heavy as trying to fit a 3 seat theater type recliner/couch. We believe that is a cheaper option that looks great and will serve our needs for watching tv or taking a quick nap. Definite upgrade for our RV. Can't praise the DCG folks enough for the reasonably priced and quality pieces that we purchased on Amazon.

Its a nice futon, looks nice, didnt need to be a rocket scientist to put it together. Instructions are adequate not sure why some whined about them. The important pieces are color coded, hardware they show ya big pics of as needed. Follow the directions and you shouldnt have any problems. The mattress, not hard, not soft, is okay to sleep on, when folded to the sofa postion, is just okay. Maybe this is just because I got the "queen" set, but its very difficult to fold up from bed to sofa. The easiest way i found was to just remove the matress, fold it up then put the matress back on. Mattress is heavy, so not the idea scenario, but doable. I guess the thought being, you're not going to be doing this every day anyway. Shipping was awesome, mattress came first then frame the following day, all was before expected. Boxes are heavy, so be prepared. You will need quite a bit of room to assemble. Frame seems very solid, i saw some reviews that theirs broke... I'm, 225lbs and while sleeping, sitting, or folding it up, didnt seem weak at all. Not sure any futon is built to withstand gynnastic intimacy, or to have 3 rather robust persons on it, so take those reviews with a grain of salt. Over all, am satisfied with the purchase, I would imagine I will have this for several years and have zero concerns about the longevity of the futon. The mattress, is okay for now, it doesnt seem like if will pack down with use, but we will see.... (2 months later) Still love the futon, is still comfy. Make no mistake, one person is not folding this from bed to couch by themselves, without removing the matress. I bought the queen size, so keep this in mind. Also, with the queen size, the back when folded up is very very high unless you want the seat portion to stick out far. Still like it, serves my purpose. Save your back, remove the matress before trying to fold it up.
