One thing to note: THIS COUCH IS GRAY, as pictured. We were not picky; after all, we're ordering a couch online that we never touched or sat on. We agreed before ordering that gray or sage green were both acceptable. It is a medium "steely" heather tone. The micro fiber is soft to the touch and appears it will be easy to clean. It shipped in one box, which was heavy, but manageable. The couch was super easy to assemble. It took less than an hour with one person. The directions were easy to follow, and it had a minimal number of pieces. We were worried about ordering a "futon" because they are so awful, and we thought we had finally out-grown that stage in our lives. With traditional futons, the mattress always slides around, it's lumpy, and it looks like a college dorm room. That said, we needed a sleeper sofa, and nicer fold out couch beds were out of our budget. The design for this sleeper is impressive. Two coiled mattresses fit inside of a pocketed "cushion" cover. When it is upright, it looks and feels like 6 individual cushions. We were concerned that when folded down, you would feel the gap between the two mattresses (or roll to the center). This was not the case. The padded cover conceals the mattresses very well. The sleeping surface was seamless and comfortable. It fits full size sheets, and fits two adults comfortably; but keep in mind, it is a full size bed, not a queen. This is not for two fat people. The couch, in its upright position, will accommodate 3 adults nicely, and that isn't squished or awkward. (its comes with a third, reclining position that seems pointless). An adult can lay on the couch and fit nicely; perfect for dozing while watching tv. The arm rests are a nice height and are comfortable to lean on or place a pillow against for napping. They also look nice as the "head/foot boards" of the sleeper. Considering that this is our primary couch, and not for a guest room or den; we are a bit concerned about how the padding will hold up with heavy use over time. The mattresses/cushions are comfortable and kind of plush. If they were more firm, I wouldn't be as concerned. We have only had the couch for a few days and love it; so only time will tell how it holds up to daily use. I would recommend this sleeper to others. The quality is more than acceptable for the price, and it is comfortable as a couch and a sleeper. It looks like a couch, and not a futon. One thing to note: All four feet were slightly dinged up, but it is easily over-looked.

First thank you to all those who wrote reviews previously, it completely helped with us purchasing this couch. Color - Yes, the color says sage green. When I opened the box downstairs, it actually looked sage green, my downstairs has lots of earth tones and the green showed. I was worried about how 'green' it looked and it was going in my daughter's room. When we brought the pieces upstairs to her purple room, all traces of green were gone and the sofa looks gray. I would say if you are putting this in a room with earthy colors, it will look sage, if it's completely different colors, it will look gray as others have stated. Assembly - Instructions and all pieces were included. The instructions were ok. We managed to assemble in about 40 minutes, not too bad. They include all the tools so you don't even need your own screwdriver! Quality - The material is a very soft microfiber, hopefully it will hold up but the material seems nice. I don't care for the pillow pattern. This is NOT like the futons of old. We have one of those saggy couch futons from the 90s and this is nothing like that. It has a super thick coil innerspring which makes it feel very much like upholstered furniture. The case was easy to put on but we didn't let the compressed futon part expand. The sofa looks and feels like a sofa, not a futon. Some of those old futons had strange angles on the seats, this is angled like a sofa. Ease of conversion - This was the part I had to see to believe. Our old futon take two people to put down, more out from the wall and convert. This is literally a lift and click. It's effortless and you don't need to move away from the wall. I have to say the design is excellent and the comfort is amazing. Feels like a bed. Value - For the price of this sofa, can't beat it. We were at IKEA looking for a sofa and the one that was similar in look was going to cost more, wouldn't convert to a bed and wouldn't have shipped for free either. The only reason we didn't get it was because they were out of stock. It was a blessing in disguise, we have a better looking sofa, converts to a bed, got shipped to my door for free. We ordered late Saturday night and it was here on Tues, I think it shipped from SoCal though which is where we are. I recommend this sofa.

I needed a new couch when I recently moved, but also wanted something my friends could crash on in comfort when they stopped by. I figured a futon would be the way to go, but they don't always make the best couches in terms of looks/comfort and my friends aren't here that much... So I almost bought a standard couch. I'm so glad I found this item. It looks like a high-end microfiber couch once assembled (more on that in a moment) and is extremely comfortable. Probably more-so than most other sofas. The color matches the "O" photo, it's gray with a very light hint of Sage. As a couch, I'm very impressed with the style and comfort. Nobody could ever guess that it folds into a bed. The seating and back surface is "inner spring" instead of pressed material (like a futon) so it's a bit more comfortable. When folded into a bed, it's like sleeping on a...well, a standard bed. FAR better than a pull out couch and even better than a futon. The only downside is that it is a royal pain to put together. The instructions aren't too bad, but they aren't great. The most difficult part is putting the cover on properly and the instructions are worthless for that. I put this together by myself and it didn't take long. If this is the only issue I can find to be negative about it must be a great product. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for style, comfort and price.

While shopping for a futon sofa my biggest concern was about the space where the two halves meet. Who could get a confortable sleep if there was a gap in the middle of the mattress? Happily there is none when the futon is folded flat. And the mattresses have coil springs giving them a thickness and "give" that was also unexpected. My memories of fold-out sofas were of a thin mattress and knowing that it was only one night's discomfort. The shipping box is large and heavy, but the contents were well protected. Assembly was straightforward. I had no issues insertng the matresses into their respective covers--and though there was a caution that they would be wrinkled for awhile I had none. The fabric is nice to sit on--neither slippery or stiff. The seat back has two upright positions--straight up (normal) and another that is at a angle--good for reclining. The mechanism for configuring the bed is fairly easy to operate--and quick. When converted into a bed the mattress extends about 5 inches further back than the sofa--so the sofa can be placed close to a wall but not against it.

Very nice couch that allows for extra sleeping space when company comes over. The unit is quite simple to put together; it says you need two people, but it is manageable alone. The cushions are springs covered in 1-2 inches of padding. This is not the most comfortable couch in the world, but decent for the price range and has the space saving benefit of being a nice guest bed.

Very easy to put together and very comfortable. Make sure you install the lower back support with the Velcro facing down. It does not say that in the instructions I got. Haven't tried the bed yet but it looks like it will be comfortable as well seeing there is no bar running across the middle of the cushions. Overall it's a comfortable couch, that looks to be a comfortable bed and even comes with some nice pillows. The construction seems to be very good (all steel frame) and should last a while. I bought the grey and it's pretty true to the color in the picture.

I turned my husband's home office into a cozy office/den/guest room with the addition of this sofa sleeper. It was easy to put together, looks like a regular sofa, and easily converts into a comfortable full-sized bed. Great value, and the neutral color works well.

VERY pleased with this as a couch: not too deep a seat, good back support and the PERFECT height of the arms if you want to curl up and read. The microfiber is pleasant to the touch and brushes clean easily. Delighted with the ease of opening and closing! Also- nice surprise- extremely efficient use of space. Note: definitely not a single person assembly job. Downside: I've been using it as a sleep couch nightly, and sorry but it really needs something to fill the gap between the back and the seat when it's opened out. Also after a month, it needs a board underneath because the center is increasingly V'd downward. Overall, for the money, excellence of the couch & fabric, ease of opening to the bed, I'd definitely recommend it.

it's a couch, not very wide

Purchased this a year ago, to double as a guest bed and as a couch in our TV room. Review as a bed: We have a very small room, and wanted something better looking than a futon but smaller than a sleeper loveseat. This totally fit the bill, and was nicely comfortable. Easy to assemble (less than 20 minutes with 2 people) and much more comfy than the foam mattresses in most pull-out beds. And I love how easy it is to work - slide it out a couple inches from the wall, pull up on the seat deck, and voila! A bed! My husband and I have both slept on it quite comfortably. Closes just as easily if you use your knees. As a couch: This thing has gotten a lot of miles. We finally rotated the mattress just recently because we (and 130 pounds of dog) were sitting on it every day and the springs have died a bit. I can't hold that against it. The material is indestructible (see dog comments) and it still looks almost as good - maybe a little loose. Rotating the mattress was easy because it's not attached to the frame, and when company comes again we'll rotate to "company side" to keep it fresh. It's not a quality or permanent furniture piece, but a great and affordable temporary.

I'm a bit disappointed, probably because of so many of the rave reviews I read on this site. First of all, it IS much better than a traditional futon (ugh) so I will give it that! But to say it looks like a sofa is stretching it a bit. I would say it looks like a sofa wannabee. I've had it since Thursday (today is Sunday) and the cushions have not yet smoothed out; it says it should take from 48-72 hours so I'm still hoping. It's the wrinkles that give it that futon look so if that problem would correct itself, I think I'd be much happier. I do love the ease with which it converts to a bed and then back to a sofa...very easy compared to a traditional futon. And after sleeping on it, I found it to be comfortable, very much unlike a traditional futon (although I think 2 people sleeping on it may be a bit crowded) I really do NOT like the pillows that came with it. They are pretty ugly, in my opinion, and wish they could have sent something more tasteful. With that being said, my experience with has been extremely positive in the past and I will continue to order from them in the future. Delivery was prompt (less than a week) and everything arrived in perfect condition, no damage, nothing missing, as I've read in other reviews. It was not difficult to assemble; my daughter and I did it in an hour (with her doing most of the work!) I do wonder about the long term durability of this product; I live in a studio apartment and am using it for a bed, and I'm hoping it will last, but am doubtful. Compared to similar retail products, it was much less expensive, but still a lot of money for me, so I guess we'll have to see if it stands the test of time.

This sofa really is sage green, which is a light grayish green. We're using it with the Hills Mission style chair and ottoman with olive upholstery, which brings out the green in the sofa. Some have commented that the throw pillows are ugly, but the photo here on the site does not do them any favors. They're not black and white: the colors are cream, khaki, light olive, and black. I had planned, based on the reviews, not to use them but changed my mind when I saw them. My son put the sofa together with some help from his dad to lift the deck and back in place on the hinges, but it wasn't difficult to assemble. Having a rachet wrench and screwdriver set really helps a lot. The cushions started to puff up as soon as the cover was taken out of the packaging, and most of the wrinkles smoothed out as soon as the cover was on the frame. It does have a "manufactured" odor when the packaging is first opened, but ours aired out pretty quickly. We are really thrilled with the sofa. It's very comfortable, very nice looking, and just right for our small living room area. I'm 5 foot 1 and my husband is 6 feet tall, and we both find it comfortable to sit and lie on.

We purchased this for our office. So far so good, I would not recommend it for sleeping someone tall however. Also our full sized sheets were a little big for it so I don't think it folds out to an actual full sized bed.

when I first ordered this item, I must admit I was hesitant...wasn't sure I futon was what I wanted for my living room couch. HOWEVER... when it came in and my husband put it together (don't judge me, lol) it was beautiful. It doesn't "look" like a futon. it's a light sage green/grey - very neutral but you can add a throw pillow or two and it'll match almost any decor! We use this every day - its very comfortable and so far durable! I would definitely recommend this product. If you're just starting out and this product would serve as both couch and bed....definitely worth trying!

I was a little disappointed at how green this couch looks against beige walls and lavender curtains. But, this couch is so well designed that we may well take it with us when we find a more permanent home (we live in an apartment). The couch is only somewhat tricky to assemble. Due to its bulky nature, it's helpful to have two people there when you're down to the last few steps. Even though its not a very grand piece, the design of this couch is head-and-shoulders above your average futon. The inside framework is identical to a futon, but there is an actual spring mattress that goes inside (which is quite firm, if you like that), with a plush outer covering that really does wonders for the comfort. My in-laws stayed with us for two whole weeks and were shocked at how well they slept. It may feel a little stiff for someone who likes super soft bedding, though. It will sleep two people, but be prepared to get a little cozy. There are a few reasons I chose this couch. First, I needed a couch for my office that would serve primarily as a guest bed. It needed to be compact: I have a very large desk in a somewhat small room, but this bed fits right in while leaving plenty of room for guests to comfortably maneuver the remaining space. Also, this couch is microfiber, which is a nice fabric for a couch/futon. I wasn't too keen on the similar chenille couches from Great Offer Stock. As a bonus, I now have a couch in here that takes the room from a bland office to a cozy, complete area. The only negative thing I will say is that the pillows are purely decorative. Invest in some nice guest pillows or you may be disappointed.

I purchased this for a cross country visit to my child who had just moved into an unfurnished home. The package arrived as promised & was reportedly very easy to put together. I was truly surprised at both the comfort of the sofa and the comfort of the bed. It was easy to convert back and forth. the cushions are deep foam, so great support for sitting and sleep. there is no bar or lumps. I do not sleep well away from home and slept through the night on this bed this was a great purchase & I would highly recommend

I was a little bit worried that this couch wouldn't fit through the door of my apartment. I live up a small flight of stairs and have a weird kind of corner unit. 2 previous couches haven't fit! My door is 31 inchs and the box fit through just fine. Everything came in perfect condition. My only issue was screwing in one of the legs - it didn't want to hold but with a little elbow grease all went well. The instructions were very easy to read and overall it was pretty easy to assemble. I pulled the box in my apartment, got out all the peices and was able to put this couch together by my self (I'm 5'2 and 115lbs just to give some context). Other reviews have this couch looking grey - I think it matches the sage description from the product information. I have a sage chair and ottoman and they match perfectly. Once assembled the couch is relatively comfortable. I think it will take some time to break in. My dog loves it :)

Too many guests; too little space. Solution: a good sitting couch that easily converts to a full bed. Surprisingly solid construction. Good instructions for assembly. So easy to convert-- much easier than the old futon I used to have. What's not to like? The color is a lovely sage. I'm going treat it to make it stain resistant for grandsons' fingers. We're thrilled.

We purchased this couch in November 2011, and I've been regretting it ever since. The doorway to our new home was quite narrow, so we were limited in our options for selecting a new couch. This seemed like a good idea to serve the dual function of a regular couch and extra space for overnight guests. It worked better for the second function than it did the first. People didn't seem to mind sleeping on the couch, but as a functional piece of living room furniture, it was awful. The color shown on the website appears to be a neutral grey-green, but when we received the actual product, the fabric was closer to a pale green-green. Not what we were looking for at all. Additionally, the fabric was shiny and felt extremely cheap and unappealing to the touch. I was so unhappy with it that I wound up ordering a selection of slipcovers within a week of receiving the couch. The construction of the couch matched the poor quality fabric. I was surprised to see that the couch was made in China, and was anything but surprised to see that the quality of the piece reflected that. Within a few months of purchase, the seat part of the sofa started breaking down- you could feel springs popping and bending, and a deep canyon started to develop in one particular place. As the couch is inexpensive, my expectations weren't that high, but to break down that quickly with standard wear is inexcusable. I'm giving this thing away after a year and a half of use and encourage everyone else to avoid it.

Was lookign for an inexpensive durable couch that had the option to sleep people in our basement. What we got was a very nice looking couch with pillows, that converts into a very firm, solid bed. The cushions of this are actually 8" coiled mattresses that slip into a padded cover. It gives a very solid and comfortable sitting experience for both of us; 5'4" 125lb and 6'1" 240lbs (won't say which one is my wife). Comes disassembled. Assembly took under 2 hours; instructions and diagrams good, all parts and tools were there. Have had couch for a month now; very light use, so cannot comment on durability.
