The mattress is very comfortable, neither hard nor too soft. It has just the right amount of spring, the frame does not creak. Supports up to 300 pounds. Items can be easily disassembled for transport. Great size for college students or people sharing a room or simply if you want a small yet comfortable bed so you can allocate more space to your furniture, closet, drawers and decorations. I was able to sit on this and study with my table on many nights. Protected with a mattress cover all the while in my care.
