OK so I know this isn't the end of the world.
But I'm getting hacked off - all I want is to buy a nice comfortable sofa, that:
- is going to last more than a couple of years
- doesn't have feather cushions (dh allergic
- is not really low to make it difficult to get out of for the grannies that come to visit
- is deep enough so that when you sit down all your thigh is supported to the knee, you're not left dangling your leg miles away from the edge of the sofa
- is high enough so that when you relax on it you can relax your shoulders and head against it
- does not look like a dodgy relic from the worst of 70s design for middle aged folk who talk about 'slacks' instead of 'trousers'
- is long enough for me to lie on, flat without needing head and/or feet to be on the arm at one or both ends.
Oh and did I mention, I just want it to be comfy...
So far over the last couple of years I have sat on hundreds of sofas looking for a simple comfy sofa - from places like dfs, furniture village and scs to dwell, john lewis, m&s, habitat, heals, assorted independents both cheap and expensive. And so far not a single comfy sofa, always something wrong with them.
So thought I'd vent on here and see if IABU to want a sofa, to wait out for one (do have an old one that isn't very comfy that needs replacing, plus in new house and with more kids now we need a second) until I find one (dh thinks I just just buy the first one I see and put up with it but am fed up of not being comfy sitting down - he thinks I am too fussy but I think I just know what I do and don't like )
And also to pick people's brains to see where they have had great sofa's from - or places to avoid!
cheers if you got this far!
