We have 11 and 14 year old girls. The sleeper seemed very similar to the ones they have slept on at BCV and HHI. Originally they were going to alternate between the pull down and couch. My 11 year old liked the pull down bed so much that she never asked to switch. She is 5 feet tall, if that helps with size. It was a great set-up since the girls could enter the bathroom without coming into our room at night.
