Can this be used as a couch too? One of the pics shows that, but if you look closer, it looks fake, like you couldn't lean back really.

It can actually be used as a couch. However, it is not overly comfortable as one of the bars hits me in the lower back when I lean back.

Yes, it can be a couch. Yes, it is sturdy. The bar that holds the top cot is brought down to meet the bottom cot. We found that the bar sticks into your back, so we just place our pillows & sleeping bag over it. We really do like this item for camping or house quests.

We've actually only had it up a week. We were waiting for construction to finish. My complaint is that the back is too short. Not much to leran back against. I wouldn't use it as a regular sofa.

The seat depth I have not measured, but I can tell you this, I was disappointed in, I am a short person (5'1") and I don't sit back all the way on 99.99% couches so when I can sit back and wish I had a little more room to sit further back, I'd have to say it's NOT deep enough. Not enough room to really relax on it if you are laying down either, I'd say most would not be happy with the depth But Other than that it's a nice couch, looks nice, sits nice but a very stiff, formal sit.

yes, but only when you first assemble it. If you try to take it apart afterward to reverse it- you will no longer have a couch. But beware, it is really crappy and not worth even $300

Miranda, I'll be honest with you. It's a great piece of furniture for the money. It is narrow and hard in some spots, but I will say that it serves its purpose. You won't be able to enjoy a day of lounging on it or anything like that. I haven't broken it yet, I'm proud to say. I am looking for another more comfy couch at the moment and giving this one to my dad for his man cave.

There is an angle on the top but. I bet it would be ok and stable on a soft couch. Poor pup!

it's pretty bulky so to sit with it behind you isn't comfortable..works better to lay on your side and wedge it between the couch and your back. Like you I wanted something to put on my back and sit against..this wasn't it.

No, it is firm and barely gives when you lean back on it. It is even firmer than most sofa cushions. Perfect as a sofa bolster but not as a pillow.

I use it as a couch and a bed in my room so i have extra room. Its just as comfortable as a couch. I sometimes sleep on it that way too. Its a great matteress. I got it and im still amazed on how it holds its comfort.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who had bad back issues - she uses it in her bed and LOVES it! She never tried it on a couch. I would guess that since the back of the pillow is kind of thick, it may make the seat of the couch too shallow to sit comfortably if you have long legs.

No. It's made of cheap sponge. It needs to be propped against couch or wall.

The mattress is great and I am sure it would be fine stretched out. I still have not tried to fold ours back into a couch, so I can tell you about that.

The foam is quite dense. It is not exactly soft...it's more a firm cushion. Also...it is only about 2" thick. Not sure if it would work for a couch. I used it for a window seat which worked really well.

No, I wouldn't't expect it to because of its construction. It won't fold for the couch position.

To wrap up everyone else's answers: Yes it can be used as a futon bed mattress, however you won't be able to fold the futon back into a "sitting/couch" position because the mattress is much too thick and heavy.

I wouldn't. They have a layer of neoprene foam on top that would likely be damaged. Also, the couch would probably move any time you sat down on it.

No, it won't lay flat and there is no way to lay the chair part back. The picture makes it look more comfortable then it is.
