Needed temporary, affordable seating until we finished our living room and could buy a real sofa/loveseat. It's very light weight, fabric is soft and comfortable. It's not very padded, so I'm sure anyone who lays on it for long won't be very comfortable, but ok to sit on for a while. I like that it has 3 levels for reclining. Definitely not suitable  for a larger/heavier/tall person. I'm 5'3 and can lay across it if I curl up a bit. This will end up being seating in my spare room/office. I wouldn't really call it a sleeper, unless whoever is using it as such is small/light weight. My husband laid on it and reached back for something and both he and it flipped over. So, if you're laying on this thing, make sure you don't shift all your weight to the back of this thing!
