I got this for my parents' office since they sometimes have guests stay over (including me). The material is durable and the ability to reposition the arms is very helpful when the sleeper is in couch mode. While sleeping on it, I did feel it would be even more comfortable with a full size mattress topper. When it was shipped we couldn't find the parts to assemble it until the kind folks at customer service politely pointed out re parts are stored underneath the couch. Very handy! Assembly was easy too. My parents like the couch a lot and will be using it for years to come.
