I did measure for my space and it's the perfect size for my needs. However, I need to leave it open as the bed to sit comfortably with pillows. I'm using it in my TV Room so that's fine. I would have liked it to sit a little deeper. 

UPDATE:  This couch is very uncomfortable. It's like sitting on word with cardboard and maybe a tiny bit of padding. I have had company of the past couple months and they all state that they cannot get comfortable on it. I'm going to see if it's not too late to exchange or return it
