Yikes. This couch completely missed the mark. When it arrived, it was so beautiful! The cushions were very firm, as other reviewers mentioned, but overall it was comfortable and very attractive, as pictured. We've used the couch lightly for four months now, and it hasn't held up at all. There are really visible sunken spots on the couch, and springs that have gone awry all over the seat. It is incredibly uncomfortable to sit on for even a few minutes, much less if you're trying to use it as a bed. If you are expecting a comfortable couch for light everyday use, I would strongly recommend you steer clear of this sofa bed. The only use I could recommend this couch for is as a prop.
