The picture is a bit deceptive. I thought this was more like a bean bag shape, but instead it actually lays out like a pillow. We are still trying to figure out how to make it more like the picture. So far we figured out to place it on its side but it is more like a boat shape. It is comfortable enough to sit on for awhile, but better for laying on it flat. The cover is a nice material at least. I would say all in all it is just okay at best.
