Completely Changed the Sofa Bed!
15 October 2024

We ordered the queen sized 48”x60” support boards for our sofa and what a difference it has made. I was a little confused as some described the queen size with 3 boards
and some with 5 boards. I was very happy to receive 5 boards which runs horizontally 3/4 of the way to the bottom of the sofa bed. Although we had previously bought an
extra 3” foam mattress toper it still wasn’t comfortable and sagged… but now with these support boards, it’s like a whole new bed!! Very very comfy. Ours came boxed brand
new with no defects. The fabric cover is in new condition with no stains, no marks, no tears, etc. We are extremely pleased with our purchase.

Does the job, but for what it is (plywood and fabric), it's very pricey.

If I were a handy person, I could have easily made this myself. It's simply a few pieces of plywood covered with cheap fabric. I have a bit of an untraditional sleeper sofa, so
this support board doesn't work quite as well, but it's better than nothing. The support board is somewhat heavy and awkward to manage, due to its multiple sections, which,
while attached to each other, still move independently. So it does take a bit of maneuvering to finally get the entire board underneath my existing couch cushion (which is
essentially one large, heavy futon-style cushion).For what this support board is, it's pretty expensive ($88 for a Full on Amazon). I think it should have been under $70.

Some people were complaining this doesn't cover the whole area. I'm questioning whether they bought the right sizes see photo it covers the area that it should. Would
recommend measuring your couch to make sure you know exactly what size you need. I assumed mine was a full and was surprised when it measured as a was worried the
bed wouldn't be able to be stored with the board left on it and I was going to have to store it under the couch or something. It folded up just fine left on the bed, so it's stored
all only gave the board 4 stars though because you can still feel the bars through it. I even bought a brand new mattress. And no luck.

No More Sinking Feeling
19 February 2024
I've got a brand new Joybird Briar (short) queen sleeper sofa with 4" standard foam mattress. Like many sofa beds it has a depression in the middle (towards the head of the bed) where there just isn't much use my sleeper sofa 1-7 days per month, so I had to fix this problem of part of my body sinking into the bed. Initially I didn't know a product like this existed, so for a few months I thought I'd have to upgrade my mattress. Luckily, in my research I read about this exact problem in NYT's Wirecutter and decided to try the Melius folding support board. What can I say? It works! Instantly fixed the problem of my back and hips uncomfortably sinking into the bed's frame. I've slept on this new setup 4x now and am satisfied with it. After folding the bed away, I stow ... MoreI've got a brand new Joybird Briar (short) queen sleeper sofa with 4" standard foam mattress.

Instantly fixed the problem of my back and hips uncomfortably sinking into the bed's frame. I've slept on this new setup 4x now and am satisfied with it. After folding the bed away, I stow the folded board on top of it, and then put the sofa bench cushion right on top. It's not noticeable when sitting on the sofa. I have limited storage so being able to store the board in the sofa is a major ordered an inexpensive" mattress topper to get more depth and softness to the mattress. That means a total of $150 to make my sleeper sofa comfortable. Cheaper than the $500+ memory foam upgrade - which probably still would have needed the support board!... Show more

Perfect ! AHHHH Comfort !
9 January 2024
Very happy with this sleeper support board. It's very sturdy and folds up into a manageable object when you don't need it. The bed is Much more comfortable now. The wood is covered in a strong plastic skin . I read that others close it up and store it INTO the closed sofa bed when not in use. But the instructions tell you not to do that. (Must be for a reason. Maybe it warps the wood in time.) They recommend taking it out before turning it back into a couch. It slides easily Under my couch when I don't need it. This makes a big difference. Buy it!... Show more

Perfect solution for reviving the usefulness of our older Lazy-Boy sleeper sofa.
16 December 2023
I am very pleased with this product. Along with a new memory foam mattress, it brought new life to our old Lazy-Boy sleeper sofa. It appears to be very durable but is a bit heavy to manipulate. We used it for a week during a family visit and it was fairly easy to unfold and lay on the sofa bed each night. We were able to store between the piano and wall during the day so it was out of sight. It can not be left on the bed when the bed is folded up into the sofa. It definitely covered up the main support bars so they are not felt through the sofa mattress which is only 4" deep. The board does make the bed firmer than normal so individual tastes may vary. Overall, a great product that was well made, well packaged, and a reasonable cost.... Show more

Really does help
21 August 2024
It does indeed help. Love how it's an American Company and a family-owned business (even more rare). These are the types of businesses I want to support, it makes me feel a little bit less icky than purchasing the board does not stay on the bed once folded up back into sofa. It must be removed. It's quite fine and understandable - I just store under couch. But thought worth mentioning in case others missed it and didn't read the enclosed colorful and helpful instruction daughter will sometimes sleep on the sofa-bed and this support board has really helped for comfort and made for a better night's sleep. Next step is buying a new mattress (our sleeper sofa is 15 years old), but for now this helps in getting us to the day when I can afford it.... Show more

So needed for the sofa bed and for sofa seat
13 September 2023
I have a sofa bed in really good condition. The mattress is Sealy using inner springs. I have happily offered it to visiting guests, including my elderly MIL. No one complained. Then one day I decided to try it and all i could feel were all the springs and through that, the bars supporting the felt so guilty!! I set out to make this bed more comfortable. I Bought a mattress topper. That helped soften the bed but i still felt all the bars. Then I bought THIS!Game changer! It adds that extra layer to stabilize the bed. I felt no bars. Then i folded it up and once the sofa bed was tucked away, I placed this on top before putting the cushions on. Now even the sofa is to sit on. I'm no longer sinking into the price for addressing 2 problems in sure if the interior is ... MoreI have a sofa bed in really good condition. The mattress is Sealy using inner springs.

THIS THING HAS SUCH A STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL OF SOME SORT
27 August 2024
I have this this for several days and have been trying to air it out to try to get rid of the strong chemical smell that is coming from it. It does seem to be dissipating a bit but there is no way I am going to put this thing under my new mattress with this smell coming from it. It is nauseating. Out of all of the reviews on this not one person said anything about it having a smell. What's up with that ?Up date. I heard back from back from the company with an explanation on the smell I have from this and was offered a full refund. For that I changed my rating to 5 stars . Too bad I can't use it to see if it actually works . I had to trash it the smell was just way tootomuch.... Show more

TRANSFORMED THE SLEEPSOFA EXPERIENCE
30 December 2023
I purchased this item after reading a NYTimes Wirecutter article about items that can make your guest accommodations more comfortable. My sleepsofa is hardly ever used and only a few years old. While it has an upgraded mattress, it is still feels soft, and on past visits my daughter complained about feeling the metal bars. I decided to take a chance that this product would work. My daughter slept extremely soundly during her recent stay, enough to give the Meliusly board a big thumbs up!. I hadn't tried it myself until yesterday, and it definitely transformed the entire feel of the mattress, making it similar to a platform bed with a thick foam mattress . It is heavy, but folds easily and fits under the seat cushions of the sofa once the bed is folded back into ... MoreI purchased this item after reading a NYTimes Wirecutter article about items that can make your guest accommodations more comfortable.

My only complaint was the the board was shipped in a very large box that was at least one third larger than the actual item. It took me about 45 minutes to break down the box into manageable pieces so that the trash collection service would pick it up!... Show more
