The Bottom cushions are not reversible. They are held into place with a Velcro strip to keep them from sliding. The seating is firm. Very pretty couch. The feet are plastic to look like wood, so I feel it is a bit pricey for those two reasons, but is does look very rich and pretty.  Just to be clear this is NOT a velvet couch. The name is misleading, however I did not want a velvet couch and knee what I was getting.   Just sharing in case the name throws you off.
