It's a great sofa for a small space!   It starts out firm (which is nice)  but breaks in to be just comfortable.  You're not sinking in to the couch but it's got a nice cushion.  A weakness of this couch is it may not be the sturdiest.  Especially the hollow inside the fabric of the arms.  It feels like you could poke a hold through.  Just be careful!  Overall,  it is working for us and is cozy for a small living space :-)
