I wanted to get something cozy and different for our gathering room, so after reading reviews, I settled on this. The price was right (less than a couch or easy chair), and it seemed like a fun idea. Upon unpacking: Oh. My. Lord. This thing is HUGE. Yes, 7 feet is long, but 7 feet is LONG. And this thing is FAT. It can fit our entire family of 4. My kids (and husband) have enjoyed flying/leaping into it, so it is a hit as far as comfort goes. However, the size is LARGE. It takes up more floor space than I anticipated, and it has to be fluffed regularly as it flattens out quickly. So, here's the verdict:
For cost: It's a good find/deal. I found quite a few other options for considerably more, so I think I got a good deal on this, and I'm happy about that.
For size: It's big, so it fits multiple people or a sprawled-out reader/sleeper, but make sure you have the space for it! I'm still trying to decide how to make this beast work with our floor space. Think very carefully about size and space on this! I thought about returning it just because of the size being too big, but I have zero idea how to fit it back into a box and return. Once it's out of the packaging, it's really hard to do anything with (it's memory foam, so it expands VERY LARGE).
For comfort: It's cozy! It's made of memory-foam pieces, so it's really comfortable. Everyone in the family loves sitting on it, so awesome job with comfort.
The fabric: I love the color (I ordered the blue, which is a deep navy blue). BUT, the fabric itself is suede-like, which means that it attracts every single piece of lint, carpet, thread, hair, etc. My suggestion would be to lint-roll it frequently or put a blanket over it.
A downside: IT STINKS! It smells like a typical memory foam mattress, but it's been several days now, and the odor is still quite strong. It actually smells so bad that I can "taste" it. I am hoping, hoping, hoping that the smell will fade with time and airing out. Right now, I put a blanket over the top of it to reduce the odor. That seems to be working a little bit.
So, I'm torn on this purchase. It's a great deal for what it is. But, it's LARGER than I anticipated, which might be how it just spreads out. I will be keeping this due to the impracticality of returning it as well as I think I can find a good place for it eventually. I'm just not sure it fits the original space I intended for it.
