Very comfortable. Everyone in the family loves this chaise, from my 9 and 13 yr olds to my husband. Watching TV, reading, or just a place to sit in comfort. I have back pains and this chaise curves to my back so now my back doesn't hurt even after sitting for a long time. It's great. Not a cheap "chair", but pretty sturdy and comfy. Nice to look at too. Like a piece of contemporary art sculpture. Haven't tried having sxx in it yet. Although I think that is the reason why most ppl purchased this chaise.  Frankly, I found it to be a great chair as is. If it serves duel purpose beautifully, then that's even better!
