Otis Bed Haley 110 review

Otis Bed is one of the few futon brands that publishes detailed specs, and the Haley 110 is the model it describes as number two on its charts. Inside a true 8-inch box border sit about 14 inches of overstuffed foam and fiber, compressed by Otis's button-free Compression Lace Tufting. The core is 9 inches of 2.0 pound density foam, wrapped in an FR rayon layer and polyester, and covered in 100% polyester fabric. Otis rates the comfort as luxurious firm and says the mattress is designed to resist changes in support for 10 to 12+ years. A full weighs 40 pounds, light for an 8-inch futon, so folding it into sofa position is easy. Otis says it works on bi-fold or platform frames and recommends a pair of its Grip Strips to stop the mattress sliding. The catch is buying it. Otis sells through dealers found with its dealer locator, so we could not verify a US price from the maker.
