We received the item and were, at first, satisfied. It was a little smaller than anticipated, but we rolled with it. It is very uncomfortable, but reviews said that it breaks in it does not. Do not buy this couch / its too good to be true. Its very uncomfortable and not worth the price at all. There are couches available in local discount furniture stores for cheaper and better quality. I spent one sick day home on it and ended up with back pain that lasted the next 24 hours. Please save yourself. I didnt listen to the reviews that said it was trash and I wish I had. THEN they wouldnt accept a return just becauser I was a week late. Highly disapointed and stuck with a garbage couch.
OK, so we moved from Tokyo to the US. We had a similar sofa bed in Tokyo / sold by a store called Nitori (well known in Japan as a discount furniture store). We loved that sofa, but since I found one that looked the same on , we decided not to spend the money to ship it from Tokyo to the US.
Comparing the two similar sofas will help explain the ratings I gave.
The one photo of a living room scene is from / the US sofa.
The next four are ones I took in Tokyo of our sofa.
This is what I found.
The functions are the same.
You can assemble the lounge section onto either side.
They are both firmly comfortable and turn into beds quite easily by simply pulling out the bottom section and having it automatically lift up level with the seat and making quite a large sofa bed.
The beds on both of them are also very comfortable (firm and no sagging) 100 better than the old style sofa beds that have bars and springs pushing against your back all night. I could never sleep on those. Believe me, this type of sofa bed is way better.
We like the color of both of them. A lighter grey color.
They are both long enough for me to lay down (Im 181 cm / 511).
The back cushions are held on by velcro and can be removed to make the bed even wider.
The lounge top easily lifts up with a strap at the front, revealing a fairly large storage compartment which will hold all the bedding.
They are heavy and will not slide well on carpet, but not hard to move on a hard floor.
The differences between the one in Japan and the US
Similar fabric, but the Japan one is smooth, no creases or seams. The one in the US has dimples I would call them / see the photo. That one looks nice in a decorative sort of way, but has lots of creases because of the dimples and we noticed that one of the seams was pulling apart. My wife said she could sew it back together. The smooth one had no such problems with the fabric.
The Japanese one is a couple inches wider from the back to the front where you sit on the seat. So, of course, when you pull it out, the bed is a few inches wider.
The one in Tokyo has two straps to pull out the bed and the US one has one strap in the middle (which is hidden in the photo). The two straps make it easier to pull out. In both, just pull the straps out and up and the bed part lifts up automatically as the bottom section come straight out. Very nice design. To close the bed, lift up on the straps and the bed part slides down into place, then gently push the bottom section in under the sofa. It all works very smoothly.
You can see from the photos of the Japanese sofa that there is a panel on the side of the pulled/out part (red circle) to hide the underside. The US one has no panel and the photos didnt show this. So when you pull out the bed part on the US sofa, you can see the floor and the inside workings of the sofa bed. Not as nice looking as the black panel.
And one other big difference.
In Japan the delivery people brought the boxes in, unpacked all the parts, assembled everything, asked where we wanted to place it, cleaned up and carried out all the packing material, removed the old sofa and were extremely polite the whole time. I made that time lapse movie of the latter stages of the assembly process to aid in disassembling the unit if I ever needed to.
In the US a single delivery guy left all the heavy boxes at the doorstep and went away.
Easily one of my favorite furniture purchases. This couch is nice and firm, but comfortable. The pull/out bed is VERY EASY to take out and put away. Its definitely big enough for 3 adults, it looks great, and the fabric seems like it will hold up well.
My only word of warning is this: it may not be so great for taller people. Im only 52 tall and when sitting on the chaise my heels are within an inch or two of the edge of the sofa. Anyone 56 and over will probably have their feet hang off the end a bit.
Wow! Absolutely aming! For the price and size you cant beat it. Arrived great 2 weeks fast then expected, assemble was easy as pie! Im 410 98lbs and was able to put it together by myself, comfort at first felt pretty firm(expected hello look at the price) but after three days its great! Firm is good for your back! Sleeping on it is also aming. The storage is way bigger then I thought you can At least first 7 standard size pillows.
I am very disappointed in this product in for backing it. This couch went together terrible and was even more uncomfortable. Then if you want to send it back I am expected to pay the shipping which cost as much as the couch. Im already out 600 for the piece of junk now they want me to spend 500 to send it back. Then I would be out 1000. No one would send me labels to send I back so it was all on me. Beware of any furniture you buy on line cause your stuck with it. has lost a customer and I will never never never order from whom ever is. Everything on this order was disastrous.
It arrived within a week of ordering, came in 3 boxes. They were pretty heavy for me to carry in the house, but Im also weak so. The assembly wouldve gone so much faster if I wouldve had a drill to screw everything in. Otherwise by hand it took like 3 hours. But it was pretty straight forward assembly, definitely recommend doing it with someone else.
I love the storage the pullout part it makes it more comfortable. I kept my blankets in the storage part. It comes really stiff but im sure with time itll wear down. I just bought extra pillows for comfort.
I think its definitely worth it for the price!
I am 411 and even I think this couch when it is a couch is extremely narrow. I was nervous at how firm the couch was as well but after sleeping on it for several nights, its perfect. The kids love it as a bed so I keep it up most of the day. I have been laying on it for 15 hours straight today and I have no plan to get up any time soon.

Fantastic Sofa for Small Spaces

Love it! Recommend!
Love the couch, it is exactly what we were looking for and fit in our RV perfectly!
Definitely recommend
It arrived within a week of ordering, came in 3 boxes. They were pretty heavy for me to carry in the house, but Im also weak so. The assembly wouldve gone so much faster if I wouldve had a drill to screw everything in. Otherwise by hand it took like 3 hours.

Firm but narrow couch, great bed!
