The couch is more of a light grey than a baby blue - which is fine because it fits my living space better anyway. I had to sleep on it for three nights before my bed came in and I can tell you it is not the most comfortable thing to sleep on. I would definitely recommend putting a twin sized mattress topper over it, I woke up with major back pains for all three days. Having said that, it is very comfortable as a seat, and is also nice to sit on as a lounging chair. I think that its versatility makes it a good purchase, especially if you don’t intend on using it as a bed too often. There’s a zipper on the seat front to hide the contractable legs, but they aren’t too harsh on the eyes and will definitely be covered up by the pillow. Anyway, I’m still pretty happy with my purchase even though I will definitely not voluntarily sleep on it again without a topper.
