Nice lounge chair for a little while, but not ideal for sleep over guests. The back rest has 3 positions: upright, half upright, flat. If you want to be comfortable in this chair, you need to put some cushion behind your back, or some kind of topper if you will be sleeping on it. It almost feels like you are laying on the hard floor when using it the first time. The chair is large enough for most people to lay in bed mode, and also in the upright positions. It is quite low to the ground, lower than a typical sofa, so it's not as easy getting in and out of compared to a normal sofa which is higher. Overall a decent chair that is not too expensive.
