It has the support I needed on the sits. I am 240 lbs and was concerned about shopping online for a sofa. However, the reviews helped me make this choice and I am glad I got this sofa. It looks good! it has support on the seats. It feels a little hard but comfortable for my weight. I do better with a firm memory foam bed. So I figured I would try the “firmer” feel sofa. I love the support! No more back ache and sinking in an old sofa. The only thing is, the back cushions could have more stuffing. But I fix that with throw pillows. Also, if you don’t fit the arm rest or back with support just right, it feels loose. Just reinsert them and make sure they fit in the bracket properly.
