This was an impulse buy- and let me start by saying I was NERVOUS. But this futon is absolutely incredible. It is so soft to the touch, it’s beautiful to look at, and it came sooner than anticipated! I didn’t assemble it (shoutout to my boyfriend), but he said it was relatively simple and took less than an hour. I got the teal color, and it’s definitely more of an aqua blue than a blue green. I’m 5’5”, and I can lie on this and still have room to stretch. It’s wide enough that I don’t feel cramped if I wanted to sleep on it in its “couch” setting rather than reclining the back panels. The cushions are firm, but not in an uncomfortable way. I have a feeling that they’ll soften up with use. The back panels are easy to recline and also stay in place with no issues. They recline at 90-120-180 degree angles. Also, bonus for me, the arm rests are soft enoughat the perfect height to use as a pillow in a pinch if needed and not ruin your neck in the process. 1010 product.
