BAD (slept on one only a handful of times...not pleasant, IMO)

I slept on a futon for 6 months when I first moved down here, it was cheap and I slept horribly. Suffered constant backaches because of it.

the futon you linked sucks, look at the padding, it'll wear down quick, and you'll feel the wooden poles withing months.

Had one almost 2 years here, very similar frame to your pic. Thicker and probably firmer mattress though.
Mattress on the floor is good on the back. On the frame it is not so good.
For fornication, the reverse is true - I consider the movement and noise of the frame sliding into the wall to be a plus.

lots of noise, lots of pain the next day.
My last experiance witha futon left me begging for the floor.... Which I probly would have rolled down onto, if i weren't taco'ed inbetween the futon matress and its frame all night.

I had sex and fell asleep on one with my girlfriend at a party a while back. The sex was great, but my back wasn't the following morning.

I have one and have been using one for over 20 years (obviously replaced every few years)

Yeah, my girlfriend and I do. It's just on the floor though, no frame.

I prefer hard beds, but it hurts her back..

i sleep on one. have had one for 5 years or so.
it is a nice 8 inch matress with different layers - foam and that other stuff??

no complaints.
nice sleep. except the wood frame IS LOUD. help!

will get new frame/futon when i move.


i can sleep on regular beds, but they need to be harder. i don't like soft beds or soft pillows = sore back and neck.
:(
