Definitely needs a cushiony topper to use as a sleeper!  But most often, we use it as a 'chair and a half.'  Its comfortable enough and easy to sit crossed legged.  The unattached cushion that comes with it is squishes down after a while.  Maybe this back support pillow can be fluffed up for better back support.  Bottom line, you get what you pay for and this is a decent chair for the price.  For four stars.
