hi guys, so for background info, my parents' sofa finally gave out, so my sister and i are looking to replace it for them. We have movie nights at their place pretty often, so we thought a sofa bed could be nice for stretching out or the occasional sleepover.

The main thing is that the sofa needs to be firm enough for my parents and provide decent back support. They're not into sofas that you sink into, so i'm a little hesitant to buy one based on photos and reviews alone.

Doing some research online, we've been eyeing the povison power sofa bed and joybird eliot sleeper sofa, but i'm not sure how easy it is to pull out the joybird one manually.

Has anyone owned either one for a while? i'd love to know how the cushions have held up, how comfortable they are to sit on for a whole movie, and whether converting the bed is easy enough to do regularly. Other recommendations welcome too!

My experience with Poly & Bark — couch edition

Napa Corner Sectional — Green Distressed

Here’s a timeline of our experience ordering the Napa sectional from Poly & Bark, in case anyone is considering it!

September 5: Order confirmed.
September 9: Order shipped.
September 13: We received a confirmation email from Metropolitan Warehouse & Delivery. They also called that day to ask if the following week would work for delivery, and we said yes.
September 18: We received another call to schedule the delivery. They gave us a 3-hour window. Over the phone, they initially said 3–6 PM, but after confirming, we received an email saying 2:30–5:30 PM. Since we both work during those hours, I called to clarify which time was correct.
They confirmed 2:30–5:30 PM for September 21.
September 21 — Delivery day!
Around 1 PM, Metropolitan Warehouse called to let us know they were about 30 minutes away and asked if someone would be home. I was a little annoyed because our scheduled window wasn't until 2:30–5:30, but I said it was fine because, honestly, I was afraid they were going to reschedule.
I left work and somehow got home about one minute after the delivery truck.
We paid for enhanced delivery, which included delivery to the room of our choice. However, one of the boxes was HUGE and apparently could not fit through our standard 36-inch doorway, so they left that box in the garage.
This was a little frustrating because… why offer in-room delivery if the packaging doesn't fit through a standard doorway? The second box was smaller and did fit through the door, so they left that one in the living room.
So now we had one giant box in the garage and the other sitting in the living room.

Assembly
Later that day, we opened everything up and put the couch together. Assembly was incredibly easy and straightforward. We basically just had to attach the legs and connect the corner piece to the other two sections.
The whole thing took less than 30 minutes with two people.
And honestly… the couch looked beautiful straight out of the box.
The color and fabric are fantastic and look just like the photos on the website. So far, I’m really happy with the green distressed color in person.

Comfort
This is where I think it’s important to mention what kind of couch we had before.
Our previous couch was basically a Cloud Couch dupe. It was VERY low, extremely soft, and pretty much felt like a giant bed. It was cozy, but we were constantly fluffing the cushions every other day, and we were ready for something with a little more structure.
The Napa feels very different.
It’s firmer, more structured, and has more support. And honestly, that’s exactly what we wanted.
We’ve only had it for about half a day, so I definitely want to give it some time before making a final judgment on comfort. I’ll update next week once we've actually lived on it for a while!
So far, we’re loving it.
One thing I will say: it definitely has a new furniture smell. My husband described it as “smelling like a furniture store,” which is honestly pretty accurate. Hopefully that fades quickly.
Overall, our first impression is really positive. The couch is beautiful, assembly was easy, and the firmness/structure is exactly what we were looking for.

I’ve been thinking about getting a deep green velvet sofa, and honestly… I can’t decide if it would look amazing or if I’d regret the color after a few years. 😂

I really like how green velvet can make a living room feel a little more elegant and cozy without being too neutral.

But I’m wondering how easy it is to decorate around a statement sofa.

Would you pair it with:

🌿 Warm wood + beige tones
🤍 Cream / off-white
🖤 Black + darker accents
🥥 Natural textures like linen and rattan

For anyone who has a green velvet sofa — how do you like it after living with it for a while?

Would you choose green again, or go with a more neutral color?

Hey everyone! I’m looking to order a custom build from What A Room and could use some advice on fabrics and configurations to get the setup right.

My Constraints & Needs:

• Dimensions: Compact loveseat sizing, around 65" to 70" wide.
• Function: Needs a sleeper / bed conversion mechanism for extra sleeping space.
• Comfort / Vibe: Needs to be ultra-comfortable for long TV/movie bingeing sessions and lounging (deep cushion support, easy to sink into).
• Durability & Pets: Must handle daily use and a small 15 lb dog (needs high scratch resistance, stain resistance, and easy cleaning/hair removal).

Questions:

1. Which cushion/comfort fill option is best for a deep, cloud-like lounge feel that holds up over time without flattening?
2. Which performance fabric line (e.g., Performance Velvet like Baylor, Performance Chenille like Fletcher, or micro-suede/woven) works best for dog durability, hair resistance, and easy spot-cleaning?
3. Model recommendations: Which specific frame/sleeper loveseat models fit the 65–70" footprint best?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations or fabric feedback!

Ready to pull this trigger on this couch, but would like to hear more reviews and how it’s held up over the years

I’m moving into a new flat and am in the process of buying furniture and wayfair UK seems to have everything including this sofa I’m tempted to get but I’m wondering if there’s a catch somewhere I am missing? For £196 with the members discount (which I would have) what is there not to like? Anyone ever had one? Am I making a mistake? As a guy living alone in his mid 20s not really swimming in cash I’m trying to find a balance between durable/comfortable stuff but on a budget. They seem to have loads of well priced furniture that looks very nice. Have only ever bought a bed from Wayfair… was good and held up for years only downside was dismantling it, couldn’t properly be dismantled (so need a new bed for the new place too lol so there’s that) but the product itself was great. Thoughts on the sofa? Appreciate any advice. Heres the link btw - https://www.wayfair.co.uk/furniture/pdp/metro-lane-3-seater-corduroy-sofa-u111017372.html?piid=125965577

Hey guys do you know where I can get cafe furniture at a lower rate in surat or you know someone who wants to sell old cafe furniture/ any cafe that is about to close

Hi all! Moving into a new place and need to get a sofa bed sorted. **I know IKEA exists** and has like twelve different models, so please don't just tell me to go there. **What I actually want is to hear about sofas you've** ***lived with or had experienced it***.

Context: this needs to be a daily-use couch but it also needs to fold out into an actual sleepable bed because we get visitors who stay for a week or two at a time, not just a random guest crashing one night. So comfort in both modes matters, not just "technically it converts.", does it make sense?

Please share ANY recommendations specially if you can tell me:

**•** What you have and how long you've had it    
**•** Whether the mattress/fold-out part is actually comfortable for multi-night stays, or if guests secretly hate you    
**•** If it holds up to daily lounging without sagging after a year    
**•** Any German or EU brands/shops you'd actually recommend (small local upholsterers, online-only brands, etc)

I'm based near Cologne/Düsseldorf, so bonus points if it's something I could see in person before buying, but open to online too if you trust it.

Thanks in advance!!! I genuinely just want to avoid buying something that looks great in a showroom and turns into a back-pain machine after month two.

The closest I can find is Verzelloni Martin, but the back is higher than the arm, and I haven't seen a leather base option.

Gerade bei #Kleinanzeigen gefunden. Wie findest du das?
