If it is just one person, the main cushion is adequate. One of my fellow church members slept on it (remove the back and corner cushions), and you are left with a cot-width bed, which is perfectly adequate for one. However, the situation remains when you are trying to fit more than one.
Other alternatives I have seen are to make a board that slides under the seat cushion and have blocks made that put it at the same level as the seat when it is pulled out and laid over the ottomans. The table may have to be left out. I'm going from memory and I don't have a picture in front of me to which I can refer. One then has a cushion made which replaces the back and corner cushions. Since you can have the seat and back cushion at the same thickness and since the seat and extension board are at the same level, this should address the problem. Some decorative pillows can replace the corner cushions.
