Excellent furniture alternative. I love it. It makes the bed look so grand and provides great support when leaning on it to read in bed. I may be moving in the next year so I did not want to purchase any additional furniture - and I may downsize to a queen at that time - so also did not want to spend money on furniture that I may not use in the future. At the same time I wanted my bedroom to look nice. This is perfect! I have had it for 4 months now and have not even had to add any air yet!! It is still firm. When friends come to visit and I show them - they are amazed at how great it looks. I have to admit, though, that I do not have it attached to the wall with the velcro - which appears to be an issue for some other purchasers. I have it leaning on the top of the boxspring - wedged between the mattress and the wall. It stays well this way - but I also have a few inches whereby my mattress is somehow shorter than my boxspring. Nonetheless - I think it is a great alternative for all bedrooms, especially kids rooms (where you may size up in a few years), a guest room, in apartments or homes, and even vacation homes. What a great idea.
