The Calwa sofa has a cool and fun retro vibe and compliments our 'great' living room. It's super firm (almost hard), though and that's why I'm giving it 4 stars rather than 5. It looks every bit a sofa, but is truly a functional, convertible sofa that turns into a bed in a nano-second! With a gentle pull, the back of the sofa clicks down in stages, to eventually all the way flat if that's what you want. I prefer firm so it's cool with me and my husband likes it, too. I'll likely place a Japanese mat on top for added cushion when we have a guest sleep on it.
