Worth it!I needed a new type of bed that would accommodate a small living room space.Tossed the Ikea sectional pull out bed & bought this cot to try out.Lengthwise—it is about same length as my recliner loveseat & height is even with the seats too.Surprised how comfortable it is, doesn’t make a noise, great features for portability & organization.It is a space saver & fits my budget.Mattress pad is thin for daily use, but I plan to fold a blanket to lay on for max comfort.The mattress pad has a loop sewn to it on 4 corners so you fold it over the corners of the cot so it stays put.You cannot fold the cot neatly while this mattress is in place because it is bulky—so remove it & it will be easy to fold & stored into the pouch.Pad also has a side pocket also.Takes only 1 person to spread this apart & fold it back in place.TIP for folding cot to store away:Say the cot is in opened position & I wanted to fold it for storage.Standing on 1 side end of the cot, lift that side up about 45 deg to the floor & lunge your body forward so it folds in from 1 side first.Since other legs dig into the floor, it is a stopper & allows you to move your body with it easily & folds quickly.Overall satisfied with my purchase & hope the hammock portion will stay in one piece for as long as I use it.
