Novogratz Tallulah Memory Foam Futon, Blue Velvet

I ordered this because my dog was having problems jumping up into the bed, this is the intermediary between my bed and floor, not to have a completely wonderful piece of furniture. Started out having reasonable, if not low expectations, and now I’m trying to figure out where I can put another one in my house. I think I’m going to get the pink for my office! I absolutely love the light green velvet that’s is retro and classic at the same time.

Nice look and good price.You need at least two people and half an hour to set it up.

Such a beautiful sage green with a subtle hint of light/Tiffany blue.Comes in one large square box. Sofa is already connected in the middle, justhave to attach arms and legs. Great look for an inexpensive sofa

I’ve had this for a couple years, and I still love it.Delivery was good for me, they just dropped it off on my porch and were super nice.It folds up into a rectangle, which has been so lovely for moving houses. I cannot emphasize how much this company has thought of everything. The arms of the couch fit into pockets on the underside of the seats. I was able to load it into an suv by myself with a little effort (I’m a not particularly athletic person). I had a short term apartment while taking a class out of town, and this was my bed/couch for a couple months. I was comfortable enough to sleep on it, and I didn’t have to rent a moving truck. It is on the firm side, but I thought it was fine. It’s now a nice little couch in my office that always gets compliments. My dogs also used it for a while religiously and it cleans up well with the bissel mini green.It’s not hard to assemble. It’s possible to do it yourself, but I would recommend having someone around to help you assemble it and move it. I was able to manage it by myself, but it was a lot easier the second time around when I had help.It’s also sturdy. I was worried that because it folds it would feel wobbly. It’s as sound as about any other couch.I realized I had lost some screws during the third move I put this couch through. I contacted customer support and they were very sweet and tried to help. I ended up finding the same screws at a hardware store the next day, so I didn’t need help. They did respond and were trying, which means a lot two years out from purchase. It’s why I decided to dig back and write this review.For the price, I couldn’t have asked for more. I’ve never found such a mover friendly couch at any price point. I think it’ll probably last until I choose to retire it. It still looks like the day I bought it after me sleeping on it for 2 months and 2 years of dog use.

The first thing I noticed is that it's a really nice looking futon and looks more like a couch than a futon, which is why we purchased it in the first place. I will say thought that the gray color in person is NOT as dark as advertised. My husband spent 1-2 hours to build this and was able to do it on his own. When we sat on it, we noticed it was very sturdy and first. However, over the past couple weeks, it has softened a bit the more we've sat on it.The futon folds out to maybe the size of a bed between a twin and full size mattress. We tried cuddling on it together while folded out and, when I leaned onto the side with the backrest laid down, we literally fell because the futon folded back up and fell on its side 😅 Suffice to say, don't lay solely on the tufted backrest part of the futon when it's laid down so that you don't fall too!The velvet fabric is a bit more sensitive than higher quality velvet products. My dog's long nails were very quickly visible on the futon, so we also bought a cover to protect it.Overall, it's a good and affordable futon. Just don't expect too much from it.

I bought this sofa because it was super highly rated by a lifestyle blog called the strategist. The blog usually recommends very expensive luxury items but they said one of the writers owns this couch in pink and they keep getting asked where they got it.I got the "light green." I thought it would be mint. This couch is a gorgeous disney Cinderella pale blue with a hint of teal. I probably should have gone with the sage. I'm happy with it but people should probably know.If you've ever used a traditional futon before you know that they are a little bit more firm than a couch. This product looks like a trendy little velvet couch but it definitely feels more like a futon. The memory foam is nice and gives it a little but more give than a traditional futon, so it's more comfortable but not as cushy as a lazy boy. I did worry a little about it getting uncomfortable over time but I could feel coils and springs inside so hopefully that will help keep the product in good shape. I'm a "learning on the corner of the sofa" type of girl and I feel no dangerous give when learning at all.The product took about an hour and a half to put together. I am not very good with tools and was a little distracted while doing the job and I'm certain that if you're more handy you could do it in an hour or less. The most worrisome thing was that the arms for the couch were inside a secret zipped compartment in the base and I was really worried that they weren't there at all. There are also two different little wrenches included and it looks like one is a backup but it's actually a different size. I'm not sure why that was necessary. This product is light and you could probably move it short distances unassembled if you had a truck and it seems like it would be easy to disassemble.The fabric does not come off for cleaning and I am a little worried about how it will survive contact with my cat. It won't be passed on to my grandkids but it will probably last me a couple of years. The velvet is almost like a crushed pile and will show little patterns from where it was last touched or stroked until you smooth it down again.I would definitely buy from this company again if they branch out a little. Midcentury modern is not really my usual style but I like the color and texture and smaller size of this product relative to my smaller apartment.The product is not going to fool anyone into thinking I have a luxury furniture budget but it's cheerful and cute and sturdy enough that it doesn't look like dorm furniture either. If you want to save money vs buying a couch from Urban Outfitters that will be unfashionable in 5 years, this is a great choice.
