Sadly, this couch is smaller than we thought it'd be. The cushions are firm, but I can see how they'd gradually wear down over time and be more comfortable. However, the back is almost as stiff as a board. My fiancé is 6'4" and can't lay down without bending his knees a bit. It's just long enough for me to lay down on and I'm 5'4.75". We might return this since it's so much smaller than anticipated. Still deciding :/
