I ordered this for a small loft we have that's kind of up in the rafters. I was nervous because everyone said it was so big, and I had to get it through a 2' x 2' hole. It was difficult, but we did it as soon as we got out of the box so it hadn't expanded yet. It is probably the size of a futon to give you an idea. The cover is kind of a micro suede and looks a little cheap but it's great for a kids' room. I definitely would not have it in a main room of my house, but for a kids room it's great. There is plenty of fill and I literally just roll it a quarter turn to fluff it. It's on white carpet and it really doesn't pick up any limit from it. I did wash the cover before I put it on, and to lock in the color you can soak it in cold water and salt before you wash it. I got the dark blue which is a blend of Navy and royal blue. The kids love it and it's perfect for what I intended.
