As a chair, this is very comfortable and cushy. I am not sure how it would hold up if someone in excess of 250lbs sat on it routinely, but for the average person, there is great support and comfort. As a sleeping surface, it is also quite comfortable. Ideal as a guest bed for someone to crash if theyve partied too much and cant drive home. (dont forget to unfold the extra feet from the back!).  I wish there was some way to not have the bed itself be so much on the FLOOR, however I am very pleased and have been considering purchasing a second chair for my office.  Its much easier to go from chair to bed than any convertible sofa, chair or ottoman Ive ever seen or owned.
