It's genuinely designed to be a proper sit-and-lounge sofa *and* a legitimate sleeping surface, thanks to the pocket sprung mattress, which means you're not dealing with a flimsy fold-out. The Thatch upholstery in house fabric has a lived-in, textured quality that hides wear beautifully. Works wonderfully in open-plan studios or guest rooms where you need flexible seating without sacrificing comfort. The upright posture is ideal for smaller spaces where you can't sprawl. Fair warning: house fabrics need regular vacuuming to maintain their texture, but the trade-off is durability and character.
