Customer Reviews
Take this damn thing back, I don't want it!
This mattress is thin and light. The good news. It's easy to fold from a couch to a Futon. It's great as a sometimes guest bed. It's inexpensive. But it's not up to par. If you're using it to sleep on, it already slightly sags in the middle, lacking support - and this is when it's new. What happens as it ages? You must flip this mattress every week to try to keep it's shape if you are sleeping on it.
American Alliance the company that makes this in Corona Calif, is a secondary manufacturer of futon products. They are not up to par with major expert manufacturers of Futon products like Wolf, Goldbond, Otis, August Lotz, etc. These are the big boys.
Expect to have a cheaper mattress - but you get what you pay for. American Alliance is a relatively new comer to the this field - inexperienced.
The customer service people Like Lorena Gonzolez and Greg the service manager at this company have very little knowledge about their own products and very little desire to help you in time of need - like if you tell them, "like take this damn thing back - I don't want it." LOL. Many times don't bother to email you back and answer your questions, inquiries. They just iqnore you - great! Does the owner of this company know about any of this? Also the people in the factory are so lazy they can't walk over to a mattress and read what's on one mattress tag. (I wanted to confirm if what's actually in this mattress is what's actually advertised)
The mattress comes folded in half with the cords tied on very strongly so that you have to cut them and the heavy plastic to open it - not a good idea. Most distributors want you to repack in the original packing if you have to send it back.
The mattress has a chemical smell to it - even after airing it out for 3 hours. Two weeks later and in a very good cotton twill futon cover, it still has the smell. If you get this mattress, i suggest you put it in a room for two weeks with windows open so it can air out. In all fairness, this is not the only Futon mattress that comes with a smell - many do as reported on the web - but most of those are foam based. This has some foam.
The elite 8000 mattress is no better - fancy description but don't add up to what it is. The 8000 is the upgrade for this, looks the same but has extra features. Be aware, because I know of at least one person who ordered the 8000 and they shipped the 6000 - they look the same. And the mattress tags they put on these are all the same as to confuse you. He could tell by the weight it wasn't the 8000.
Again, it's a good inexpensive futon mattress to use occasionally - but that's it. Anything else and my advice is look somewhere else or you will be very very disappointed.

Thin fabric
When the mattress arrived the first time Fedex delivered it. At sometime during the shipping process something ripped the outside plastic and ended up cutting through a section of the mattress cover.
I really have doubts about how well the mattress cover would hold up during extended use as a futon. In our situation we are just using it as a bed for our one year old son. It will have bed sheets over it and I would expect it to last a long time.
The manufacturer could make the unit more cofortable by taking out the dimples/old fashion button slots which are put in with thread. I understand this probably helps hold the layers together but it also takes away from a smooth surface to lay on.
When I purchased this unit I could have gotten it a little cheaper by ordering from some where other then Amazon. I chose Amazon because I was nervious about the size of the item and if something would go wrong. When the first unit arrived damaged I got really nervious. I'm happy to say though that the exchange process worked really well. In fact it worked so well they actually sent out 2 replacement mattresses and got them both to me before my son's first birthday which was less then a week away.
So, I actually got to use the return process twice, once for the damaged mattress and once to return the extra one. The funny thing is that Fedex delivers the mattresses, but then they have UPS pick up the returns.
As I said we are just using the product as a bed and not a futon. One thing I have to say for someone using it as a futon is that even though the fabric seems really light on the cover, the whole unit if very flexible. When you get the unit it will be wrapped very tight. As soon as you release the packing straps it lays out very nicely and doesn't take time to adjust shape.

comfy
The old futon mattress I had was wearing kind of thin, so I ordered this one in blue and I really like it. I put it on top of the old mattress for more thickness, and it is super soft. The shipping was amazingly fast. The new mattress had a factory smell to it, but after airing it out it's okay.

Good replacement
Mattress is a good replacement for the original futon mattress for an Ikea full-sized futon that I acquired second-hand. It came well packaged, although some part of the tag had melted onto the fabric and took a while to peel off. Most importantly, I can no longer feel the bars when sitting on the futon as a couch. I've only had it one day, so I am unsure of the durability of this but it looks like it will last longer than the previous (a few years). Very satisfied.

Quality Product
The mattress is a softer than a futon mattress, but not much thicker. It works well for my daughter, though, who has no back problems. We added two thick foam pads to the top, and it is very comfortable for her.
