This was the perfect piece for our office to become our guest room.  We did purchase a 2 inch bed topper to make the surface all one piece.  I then made a sleeve for the topper so that when we are using it as a couch it sets on the back ledge of the couch and looks like a giant pillow.  We have had this piece for a year now and several guests.  It looks brand new and the cushion is still sturdy.
