I was sceptical about getting a mini futon “thing” that folds up in awkward ways, but this sofa is actually very comfortable. It is feather light and folds flat, taking up no space. My partner is very specific about her furniture, so I just shove this underneath our sofa when I am not using it. I have actually been using it as a reading chair as well, sometimes preferring to sit on it as opposed to our couch. I can stretch my legs out if watching TV or sit upright with back support when I play games. It can pivot at different angles, so you don't have to be either lying down or upright. If you are on a budget and don't want a rocking chair, this is a great buy. Hard metal frame inside by the way covered by foam, so feels quite durable yet not hard to the touch.
