I’ll be honest. When I first set it up, I hated it. I wasn’t prepared for how DEEP it is. I’m a full grown dang adult and cannot bend my knees when sitting on it. My legs hang off the edge like a child on a normal couch. That took some getting used to, but I will say it makes for a great cuddle couch and place for guests to sleep. When you take the back cushions off it looks like a giant day bed. 

It also helped me to take off the side cushions and those silly little baby pillows that came with it. In my opinion it just looks more normal and accessible without those puffy side cushions. It looks great with 24” throw pillows (and I needed the lumbar pillow for comfort).

Is it firm YES YES AND YES.  Like everyone else says about all these corduroy couches, “I hope it softens up over time..”  But it has gotten a wee bit cushier over the past few days as my kids have been bouncing on it. Can confirm holds up to children.
