The material is not as soft. It does not hug or support the lower back. The cushion for the head pushes out my head to much so, I have to use a pillow to support my lower back for more comfort. FYI I am expecting. Although, I do like how it can rock, recline, and a 360. The size is alright. It was easy to assemble. The color I order was white, it's actually a light cream color instead.
