The New Life sleep sofa mattress is so much better than we ever imagined. Our sofa bed is used often for guests and extended family. As with all sleep sofas, the comfort level has left alot to be desired. However, to our delight, this mattress really works. You can not feel the bar beneath. Our friends, that were visiting, could not believe the comfort level and are now going to purchase one for themselves. Great product. Now if our ski condo association could get hold of this, our backs would be much better.
