I was looking for a small sofa bed, or futon for my new apartment

I bought a cheap one but it was awful, seating are is small, the back are also small and don't stay in place

Then I had this one on my list for weeks, until finally I got it, in the peach color as it had a discounted price

It's beautiful and well made. Very comfortable and easy to put it together

The only shortcomings I see for now - I received it today - are the legs and the brackets

All legs are made of hard plastic imitating wood. I wish they were metal

Also, the two middle legs are the ones with brackets to keep both halves together. It's a bad idea to use plastic for that

At least the middle legs should be metal or have a metal bracket insert

Any vertical move of the sofa halves will put all stress on those plastic brackets and they are not rigid enough

The legs could be made of a harder, better and reinforced plastic

My solution for now was to use the metal brackets intended for the arms as elements to keep the halves together

The metal brackets luckily have the exact same measurements as of the middle legs brackets, so I use them together, under each middle leg, I screwed the metal brackets in a sandwich fashion

To be honest, I don't know why the arms have brackets, as the idea to easy remove the arms is one of the things that made me buy this unit

The sofa became way more stable

As final thought, if this unit was a single pice, it would be a perfect small sofa bed

Plus, metal legs!

Hi all, I'll get straight to it. I understand some reviews talking about how it's kind of uncomfortable but I would say that is up for interpretation. It's not very noticeably soft but it is it's still very comfy at least for me. It's more of the softer firm side.

Just had my first night sleeping on it and I just have a comforter blanket under me and I had some great sleep. I will be sleeping on this for a while while I move and I think it will be doable for sure. It's definitely more on the firm side but I don't think it's a problem for the price, set up, look, feel, and what it is capable of doing (3 set reclining).

It seems very sturdiness and set up was VERY easy, like 30-40 mins with 2 people, not heavy. I left the armrests unscrewed from the couch so that I can slide them on and off when I like.

For size reference I am 5'8 (68in) and I can perfectly stretch out on it since it is around 69in in length. I'd say it's definitely a Twin XL size too (my twin XL comforter set fits well with very little gapping. It's also kinda low to the ground for my height but it's realistic for a sofa bed so my expectations are at an understandable point.

I did research for weeks comparing the look, price, and reviews for over 20 sofa beds here on Amazon and this was the winner for me and I am happy with my purchase. This was one of the only beds from the group that had a smooth surface (instead of the puffy pillow-like surface) and I think that really matters as you can feel every indent in one of those other types (atleast from what reviews say).

Also DO NOT get the $299 deal if you see it cuz the shipping is like $49 and that's basically $20 more than if you got it for the original price with the free shipping (about $360 vs $381). I got it at the original price with free shipping and it came in 2 days after my order date! Super fast!!

Overall, I give:
8/10 for comfort (more firm but still soft)
9/10 for length (fits 5'8 perfectly)
9/10 for sturdiness (seems durable but will update if something breaks)
7/10 for height (understandably low)
10/10 for width (VERY WIDE as a bed, room to sprawl. A true full XL size.)
10/10 for features (detachable arms, 3 type reclining, smooth surface)
10/10 for price (competitive pricing, 2 day shipping, not cheap looking)

*BONUS!: the couch has pockets under it thAt held the armrests. I can use it for storage as it is VERY spacey haha

I know this was long but I hope I helped someone make a great and informed decision as something like this is an investment. I will update as I continue my use with this as a bed each night and/or something changes
