This is a gorgeous sofa, is comfortable for a sitting room, and is the SOFTEST velvet. I tested out the bed and I didn’t notice what other reviewers said about there being a noticeable dip in the middle. It would be firm to sleep on, but not uncomfortable. I have a twin sized foam topper that I’ll throw on there for overnight guests. I will say this sofa is great for a sitting room. It seems too small and firm for lounging in a family room. My husband put it together by himself in 15 mins. We also painted the legs gold with spray paint.
