It is certainly a high-quality and durable fabric and the cushions have held up well...This couch is very long and comfortable to sleep on.

"I had been eying the Kova sofa for a few months and finally purchased it during a great sale. It’s amazing. We are a family of four and we couldn’t comfortably fit on our old standard sofa. We wanted a sectional and love the L-shape plus ottoman which gives us all kinds of choices for how we align the sofa. It now fits all of us plus the 90-pound dog! It is SO comfortable! We chose the olive color as kids/dogs are super friendly to furniture and it’s gorgeous. It cleans up super easy with a sponge and the dog hair also comes off easily with a vacuum. It does look lived in if we don’t fluff it up, but fluffing it up only takes a few minutes. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase!" —Sarah L.

I’ve only taken one napitzer on it (when you fall asleep prior to going to bed), and awoke refreshed and full of joy. This thing is so comfortable and sturdy. I recommend this life-changing couch to all. Maybe we could solve world peace if we all had one of these magficanit beauties in our lives." —trippytina

I received this sofa and as a person who came from a very old and lumpy sectional and has a bad back, this ergonomic sofa is honestly heaven-sent. As for comfort, the back is suuuuper soft and comfortable, but the bottom is a bit more firm to my liking. And for style...ummmm just look at it! I’m obsessed with the blue velvet texture and the wooden legs look very high-end. I’ve even had numerous friends tell me how it 'really elevated' my space (the *biggest* compliment if you’re someone that loves anything home-decor-related like me). And lastly: the full-size pull-out bed, my best friend’s favorite part about my couch upgrade. She says it’s comfy to sleep on all night (it even has two stability legs so it doesn’t tip over). It’s perfect if you’re someone who has a lot of guests staying over, but lives in a tiny one-bedroom apartment (the struggle). It’s a chunk of change, but I’d say very very worth the investment. I can tell this couch will last me years to come.
