Firm bottom, back not as much. However this is in our den where we will be completely lounging and have lots of pillows so Im okay with that. Were used to a very stiff sofa with a low back so its just a out getting used to it.  Im 54 and my husband is almost 6 and we both like sitting on it. 

The color is a warm mustard.  Like an orange cat less mustardy. But I love it.  And the corduroy is so voluptuous, people will be constantly running their hands back and forth. 

4.5 stars due to back not being as comfortable as I would hope but over all were thrilled to have this.
