Had to unzip the cover to break the foam up since it was too hard to break it up without unzipping the cover. I was skeptic at first since it takes at least 24hours for the foam to release. Thought it was too low. But as soon as it started expanding. it was perfect height. Very comfortable. Putted a blanket on it for maximum comfort and to protect the non removable beanbag cover. it has enough stuffing you don't feel the floor underneath. and fits 2 people sitting close. best buy at a decent price. always wanted a giant beanbag. Dream come true !!!! I LOVE IT.
