This couch/sectional is absolutely more then I bargained for!! It is soooo comfy, firm but not hard, and the material is just perfect. In fact, it reminds me of a soft well washed and worn pair of favorite jeans! Above all, my 6'4, 250 lb hubby loves it! Finally a seating system that is comfortable, beautiful and durable all in one lovely package. 
This will seat 7 people easily. Larger folks, 5 easily. The four pillows that come with it are zip covered so you can wash them if ever they get dirty. They are firm but not to firm. Very relaxing to enjoy on a Sunday morning with my paper and coffee!
