Some reviews say that you can feel bars underneath the mattress. Others say there are no bars. Bars, or is it a mesh holder? What's the mattress made of?

Mine is mesh with only the support bar - and the mattress is memory foam - the bed is very comfortable to me and my guest that have slept on the bed. I have it in my spare room for my great grandchildren and they love it because they play on it in the day time and sleep on it at night! It is worth the money that I spent to me!

There is a bar running across the middle of the mattress (just like a fold-out sofa bed.) The mattress is 2 1/2" thick foam, supported by a canvas sling attached to small springs all around the edge. Unless the sleeper is very light weight or a child, the bar can be felt through the mattress. I purchased a 3" twin size memory foam mattress topper to use with it, which solves the problem (and the topper squishes enough to fold into the ottoman without removing it each time.)

It's the typical wire support for pull out sleepers. I purchased an additional mattress that is placed on top of the mattress that comes with the unit and it's made of foam with a velour covering. Hope this helps.

There is a bar at the center you will feel. But I used an air bed inside the tent that cushioned the bar. But it's a great tent. Just used mine for 4 days it was wonderful in rain and wind.

Roseann, I don't believe anything can completely keep you from feeling those terrible bars, but using the memory foam along with the futon mattress would be a huge improvment. Hope this helped

I believe you would still find the bed very firm. It is on my son"s bed and he described it like this yesterday, "if I lay there long enough, it will mould to my body but if I roll over, I feel like I am on a table.". I believe we will be removing the topper this weekend. He finds the mattress softer without it. spend a little bit more money and get a better quality one

Just a mattress. I put a bunk bed board under because the mattress is a memory foam and I thought it added a little stability with that type of mattress. But it was not necessary.

No this actually has a solid sheet under the mattress. It is 3 pieces of plywood that sports it complete.

No it is to be used under a sofa bed mattress to eleminate the bar feeling. I used it once and really it does not help. Never used it again.

I agree with Lauren0418. I wouldn't call it a "mattress"... it seems uncomfortable to me and our nebworn did not like it. Looked cold and uninviting. I wish i new about putting another pad (which is another purchase).. maybe that would have helped.

If you don't have a box or slat underneath the mattress, don't ever jump onto the bed and it won't feel as sturdy. It feels much better with something underneath it.

You can feel the wires, but not enough to be bothersome. You can however really feel where it plugs in at the foot of the bed. I thought it would be on the side of the mattress at the foot, but it's not. It's in the middle of the foot on top. So you can feel that, but again, it hasn't ever bothered me. (And I'm really anal about having perfectly smooth sheets!) The whole bed gets warm, so there aren't really any cold zones. I hope this helped!

I'm sorry I don't have an answer for you, but it looks like the other two answers gave a pretty good description of the foam. I had one person ask me if it had a rolled edge around the top, and it does not. I use the mattress in my spare bedroom, but my guests have said it is comfortable. It did have a weird smell when I first got it, but after letting it air for a week, the odor went away, and their is no smell now.

You do NOT need a boxspring underneath it, just a platform. You can't just place the mattress on a bedframe, it will fall through, unless you created some sort of platform with a lot of slats or something. We purchased a metal platform from Amazon that works great with this mattress, or you can purchase them as a set. The platform looks kinda flimsy but it is sturdy enough to hold me and my husband. Together we weight about 450 pounds. The memory foam is great! You never feel the platform and it resumes it's shape quickly when rolling over. We highly recommend this mattress.

I have two queen size beds. On is the tradional metal frame with a bar in the middle. And I have a wooden bred frame with a bar in the middle also. I have added a bunny board to each bed. On bed has a box springs as well and one doesn't. It works either way and the back support feeling is great. I have no additional bars or internal legs in the frame. If you do it's fine also. The addition and use of the bunny board is the best thing I could do since I have had back surgery and still have a very bad back. It works great and I get a good nights sleep. Go for the bunky bed boards!!

This mattress is like sleeping on a marshmallow. And I mean that in a good way. Your body weight is supported, yet in soft, squishy way. It's not like a hammock, where your butt sinks lower than your head or feet, you lay flat, and all parts of your body touch the mattress.

It has both fabric and plastic, plastic should be put on the bottom and fabric at top of mattress next to your body. I don't feel the plastic at all, but I do have a mattress pad on my bed also.

Mine is foam and then material. I am not sure whats under the foam. I think its sturdy. I use it for jewelry display. I really like mine. Its light enough for me to lift and I think great quality for the price

Yes it does have a litle bar in the middle. My children say it is comfortable. I usually but a small blanket under the fitted sheet to make the bed softer
