Very good quality for either sitting up or lying down. The frames are built to allow you to seat it in a variety of positions, such as: upright, slightly-up, or completely down. There are more options, but those examples give the picture! It's classy and comfortable. I use it to sit and read/relax or for the odd guest. Indeed - it is slightly pricey - but worth it. Delivery was quick and good service. I recommend this product with *****.
