I love this futon loveseat! The arms do lay flat and provide ample space for a small person to lay comfortably. The only draw back is you cannot realistically lay the back flat and expect someone to lay on that end because it is 1) not strong enough to support any real weight, and 2) causes the couch to tip backwards the more weight you place on the extended back panel when it is flattened. However, it is beautiful and will work for my needs.
Gorgeous, but not a true futon...
