This sofa bed is surprisingly comfortable. I was concerned that it might be a bit too soft and squishy, but it is actually quite firm. A good height for sitting on and although low to the ground when set up as a bed, it is still very comfortable and the arm rest/cushions can be used for extra leverage when getting up, if needed. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and would buy again as a sofa/day bed for my spare room.
