Does this sofa even exist?!

[sleepfortheweek]

After 12 years, we are looking for a new sofa to replace the one that has had much abuse over the last decade. Here are the stipulations :

1. Must recline
2. Preferably on feet, so that I can easily clean underneath without having to move the whole sofa
3. No leather or suede
4. Easily washed/cleaned (removable covers??)
5. Must be comfy with nice big arms

We are looking for a 3 and 2 seater. I've been searching for weeks online (no store near me unfortunately without a 3 hour drive) and can't find anything that ticks all the boxes 😭

Please people in my phone - help!

Well we have this one

ONLY - it doesn’t recline & it does have feet but you still need to move it to hoover.

BUT

OMG, it’s the most comfortable sofa! We have had ours for about 2.5 years & it still looks good, the cushions are still big & plump (you can remove covers to wash)
AND I prefer to sleep on this than our bed, it’s literally that comfortable, I get a much better nights sleep on this sofa. If only they made a bed like this!!!

I don’t think reclining sofas are usually on feet, because the floor-length body hides the mechanism.

Yes, reclining sofas won't be up on feet, and they also won't have removable washable covers. Tbh the ones I've seen tend to be comfortable but fugly leather/leatherette monstrosities. On the bright side they do tend to have those wide arms.

When the recliner is back you can get under to Hoover with some wriggling, but recliner sofa are very heavy! You are unlikely to be able to move it on your own.

unlikely to have removable covers as it’s in stages.

Maybe you just need a non recliner and foot stool

There are some recliners on legs here

I sat in the contempo and thought the non recliner version was comfy. I personally have never sat on a recliner that I thought was comfy due to the mechanism making the seat hard, but the OH who isn't as fussy as me thought the recliner was comfy.

I have the Habitat Ghost recliners and they are probably the closest you are going to get.
