Y’all this is a *hand-me-down futon*. The thing was clearly already on its last legs to begin with. It was used for who knows how long by the other tenants, and went through who knows what kind of abuse. Futons, as a general rule, are not usually built to last. They are, however, generally built to hold 2-3 people. There shouldn’t be any difference between one 350lb person or two people who each weigh 175lbs sitting on the thing. I suspect OP and her bf are putting equal strain on the couch when they sit in it together, and are contributing to it’s demise without realizing it.
