It would be more of a bench then a couch. Not nearly as comfortable as a real couch. A Real couch has the 6-10 inch thick cusions then springs under that that have about 6 inches of give to them. You need to make a couch real strong as well because when your totaly exhausted and kinda fall into the couch it can break stuff pretty easy if not built for it. I totaly understand wanting a couch/desk combo but i dont think thats a practical way to do it. the whole thing would weigh so much it would be a real pain to change back and forth.
As a design alternitive how about making it so the back of the couch folds down with the desk top on the back of it so when its folded down the desk top is on top.
Whatever you do make sure you do draw it to scale before building and check to make sure you have leg room under it.
Another option would be to make the couch as comfy as possable then just have the desk part hindge down from the side so you could use the desk while on the couch. Maybe have the middle back cusion swing down with a desk top on a swing arm on it so you can pull the desk out right over your lap.
Spend some time at one of those big home improvement stores just looking at the hardware. hinges drawer sliders and that sort of thing and i bet you can come up with a more practical way then needing to flip over a couch that most likely weighs 100+ lbs.
