The sofa material itself is very soft and sitting/lying down on it is surprisingly very comfortable - more than I expected. The only thing about this sofa is that the legs don't seem sturdy. When you are sitting on the edge of the front, it will lean forward and you can see that when you are sitting on it or moving around on it, the legs move with it. It does feel like it will break (I am 5'8 and 150lbs) and some reviews have said it did. I bought insurance with the sofa for this reason. I've only had it for one week so we'll see. I think it is a bit overpriced for the quality but I'm happy enough with it and will be keeping it.
