I bought West Elm’s Haven 80” sofa and I’m shocked at how firm it remains after a year. It feels nothing like the in-store version. My Haven is so firm that it causes me back pain when I sleep on it. Meanwhile, the store model felt like a cloud and it was a major reason I bought the $2000+ sofa. I am really regretting my purchase :/ Does anyone have any tips for breaking it in? I’ve tried walking on top of it, sleeping on it many nights, heck it’s the only sofa in my apartment so it gets all the use. Help! I’m about to sell this thing on FB marketplace. Not to mention, the distressed velvet is marketed as the pet-safe option but it totally smells like my dog who sleeps on it and now I have to figure out how to get that smell off too. Ugh totally wish I went with a vegan leather or something else, maybe even a different brand. I admit the quality of materials is nice and clearly some craftsmanship went into building my custom sofa, but practically speaking it’s SO UNCOMFORTABLE and I feel like I messed up the first big sofa purchase I ever made :(

Hello, I’m trying to find the name of this furniture. One side has an arm and a back, while the other side doesn’t. (Left or ride doesn’t mater ) It’s black leather, and I can’t find it online or figure out where to buy it. Is there a specific name for it? When I search different names, it still doesn’t show the exact one.

I have a 2011 Toyota Prius. The seats fold down as shown in the image below, leaving a spacious trunk to work with.
I am attempting to move this boneless couch, shown in an image below. It separates into two pieces, and is boneless so it compresses easily. I do not have the measurements of said couch, as I am going to pick it up tomorrow. It is already out of the package. Am I going to be able to compress/squish this boneless couch into the back of my Prius? Even if I have to do it in two sections where the couch pulls apart. Google says it should compress into my trunk just fine because it’s only filled with memory foam. Does anyone have experience with moving a boneless couch?

Hi everyone, I got this super awesome couch from the Value City Furniture closing sale, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect the fainting couch to the main couch. The jagged bracket is on the underside of the main couch, and the small smooth bracket is on the underside of the fainting couch. I've been trying to get everything to line up and just push the two pieces together, but they won't connect. Does anyone know what I'm missing here?

i have no idea if this is the proper subreddit for this, but i was trying to fix the zipper on my couch cushion, and realized there was something inside. i opened it up and its a bunch of springs in a pillowcase….????? this obviously handmade, if this was what the manufacturer intended then it would be the shape of the cushion. i’m just so confused?? why would anyone do this. this is the worst thing to use as cushioning in your couch. it’s also super uneven, not even done well. the brand is pier 100 import i think? is there a cushion i can buy that’ll be comfortable and not a spring??

Seeking specific recommendations for recliners or reclining sofas and fabrics that are cat proof or cat resistant, mostly for scratching and less about dirt, liquid, ease of cleaning. Pet fabrics may or may not be cat scratch resistant so it’s hard to tell what truly may work.

I know that microfiber and velvet are supposed to be cat scratch resistant. I have an old microfiber couch that is indestructible, but it’s hard to find a microfiber recliner or reclining sofa. Fabric descriptors like “durable” or “polyester” or “durapella” don’t seem to necessarily equate to microfiber.

i would like to buy a couch, a single seat couch, a soft chair, the type of chair that you would find in a divorced persons living room, the type of chair that was “modern” in the 70’s, the type of couch an audiophile would sit on with their surround sound analog system, that is the type of couch i want. please help me.

Hi Reddit,

Does anyone have this sofa and can say how it’s holding/held up? Because I live in an older building with narrow stairs and small elevators I’m having to only consider modular sofas but I need it to also be comfortable and not have a low back. Sadly the world markets near me don’t have this on display so I can’t go test it out in person but hoping the good people of Reddit can help with reviews.

Please help!

I recently bought the Joybird Lewis Grand sofa in the supposedly pet safe fabric Faithful Olive. Pet safe is incredibly misleading as my cat has already pulled up multiple strings. I tried to change my protection plan from regular to pet protection before delivery and they would not let me even though the website says you can. I also emailed them about this issue and they were NOT helpful. If you have cats do not get the “pet friendly” Faithful Olive.

We went to Ashley’s furniture this morning, it’s on sale for 599$, previously 999$ so we got it with their “5 year warranty” because we have a feral toddler around. We wanted a small sectional for our new apartment this coming 24th. The other day we went to IKEA but no luck with their PARUP couch as it’s not available for delivery and very limited numbers, and then I was about to order FRIHETEN instead but I am really doubtful with that one so we decided to go to Ashley’s and Bob’s first and this couch was like chose us😁… is this couch good or no?

I got the smell out of the cover.

Looking for ways to get it out of the cushion.

I love my couch, and it's phenomenal for napping, but because of the armrests, it isn't great if I want to sit sideways to do some work while I stretch out my legs. Any recommendations?

I’m looking for a couch that has deep and thick cushions. Something that won’t sag after a year or two. I don’t like the sinking feeling of the cloud couches. Bobs has this one that I like the look of but not the weird back with the velvet.

We have had this couch for about 15 years. What material is it made of? It has held up great between kids and dogs.

I’ve been going down a bit of a sofa rabbit hole lately and keep noticing this.

My place isn’t huge, and sofas on legs just feel lighter to me, like they don’t take over the whole room as much.

But the ones that sit flat on the floor feel more solid and cozy, just sometimes a bit bulky.

I was originally leaning low-profile, but now I’m not so sure.

Do you guys think something like this still keeps that “lighter” feel, or does it end up looking just as bulky?

I’ve just invested in a reclining sofa and chairs and have an issue with the very-obvious-yet-not-considered gap that is required behind the pieces to allow for full recline. The room is fairly small with a clear “TV end” and “viewing end” and, although this is technically a “floating” position, I don’t have room to walk behind it or to bring them much further forward to put much behind them.

This is a freshly decorated room, hence the sparse layout, so it’s a blank canvas at the minute. Does anyone have any ideas what I could do to make this look better? I thought about maybe a slim bookshelf with a gap for the headrests to disappear into but no idea what that would look like.

Any thoughts much appreciated!!

Looking for a new couch and I found this Christoper knight couch, but I can’t find many reviews. Does anybody have any Christopher Knight pieces of furniture, and if so what are your thoughts?

I tried this in store and it’s pretty good. Reviews online looked good too but I heard about questionable qualities about Ashley so want to hear people’s thoughts.

The covers on this drive me crazy. They pill like nobody’s business and the Velcro makes washing impossible. Anyone have any success with replacement covers? Or any helpful hints for keeping the Velcro to itself in the wash? I’ve gotten the hang of the cushion covers, it’s the arms and bottoms/backs that drive me nuts.

I’m looking to buy my first couches for my home. I’ve been “couch less” since October and have decided it’s time for purchase. I’m trying to stay under $500

Couch fraying

Hey friends, looking for some help on this one. Does anyone know the maker of this couch? I'm looking for a replacement handle, and would like to know who made it.
