I'm not tall, but for those interested in what they are like, I'm 5'6" 200 lbs. and did just fine. I liked it better than the pull out sofa and it was much easier to open, especially in the middle of the night. Usually, the people needing to sleep on them are those at the lower end of the totem pole and it beats the floor or not going to Disney at all, or like in may case where the hubby was snoring too loudly and it was my turn to move.
