Ours is a Happy Jack and the upper bed is a bed and we added a nice mattress pad to make it very comfortable for our older boy. You need a ladder for it. The bottom unit is a couch/queen bed and you can just sit on it with no problem. The only problem I have had with the bottom unit is the clearance. Our Polaris Ranger won't fit with it in so we pull the 4 pins and remove it, then using straps attach it to the lifting eyes on one side. We have plenty of clearance on the side for the bed and Ranger to fit inside. Just something else to think about.
