I ordered the java color & it’s a lovely suede-type texture & a soft medium color. I am a strong woman, 5’5” 165#, & I was able to unpack, unwrap, & assemble it alone. It’s very easy to manipulate into a sleeping position & very firm so I think it will maintain its shape well. Plan to use a foam topper for comfort of overnight guests. It’s exactly as pictured & described & I am completely satisfied!
