I had TT with a jack knife couch. Not comfortable to sleep on, at least not for me, without some foam topper to even out the space between where the cushions come together.

Puzzle beds (combined jacknife lounge and jump seats) are not comfortable by themselves. In fact, they should be classified as medieval torture devices. They can, however, be made comfortable enough to sleep on with either an air mattress or a foam pad. Foam pads have the disadvantage of taking up a lot of valuable space.
I’ve found the jackknife couch in our van quite comfortable, contrary to popular opinion I guess. It’s a ‘puzzle bed’ but it lays flat with no real bumps or seams. I lay two sleeping bags on it and sleep under a quilt. Works for us.

The cushions on our 2020 class B Beyond are upgraded memory foam from Coachmen and are too firm for me to sleep on. Wife is fine with them. I add a pad under my hips and all is well.
