A little shorter than expected but nice for the price!
I have a small home office that I wanted to put a bed in for very occasional use when guests stayed over but didnt want to take up too much room, so I figured a futon might do the trick because it would also serve as a couch if needed. With other futons I had been looking at, the length of the sleeping area was only around 64 inches so, and I was concerned that wouldnt be quite long enough. So, I found this one which listed a length of 75.5 inches. Great! I thought, thats plenty of room. Well, what they didnt advertise (that I noticed anyway) was that the measurement was taken from the outside edges of the armrests, which are each close to 4 inches wide by themselves. When you measure between the armrests to see how long the actual sleeping area is, its only about 68. Still, thats not too bad compared to the others I had seen, and its nice looking, so well just have to see what our first guest says about it! Also, you dont have to leave the armrests on when you setup the bed if you dont want to. They slide off very easily to allow the guest to stretch out a bit without feeling cramped in the middle of them. All in all I think this is a nice piece of furniture for the price and should suit my needs just fine.
