My son asked for a "Big Joe" specifically, for Christmas.  After doing lots of research, I found this to be the best value for my money. It arrived 3 weeks early and it was hard to hide such a large box! And it looked as though it could explode from the box at any moment.  My son had a good idea what was in the box. Let me tell you,  this sofa is big! Once we fluffed it it quadrupled in size from the box. It is almost as large as my livingroom sofa, but he was more than excited and has slept on it 2 nights in a row now. It will be great for having friends sleep over, and it's quite comfortable. Was a great purchase regardless if it doesn't fit in my house.
