Honestly, bought this couch for my elderly dog who has gone blind and can no longer go up and down the stairs to get to the bedroom. That came a day early, which is wonderful. The picture is maybe two hours after being taken out of the box and bags so not even fully expanded but it's very comfortable. It does have an odor, but nothing that little air freshener and airing out won't take care of. I'm 510 roughly 150 pounds and I can sit on it and it is quite comfortable. I would recommend this couch for many different circumstances, especially for the price.
