It's super comfy and super sturdy and was like $800 for a sectional which is ridiculous. We LOVE our sectional, the whole family can be on it and not even have to touch ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347989 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:56:43 +0000 chopsuey 347989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a super comfy sectional from Ashley. I love it because the covers come off and I can easily throw them in the wash. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347973 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:52:52 +0000 pastemoo 347973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had an awesome couch that DH took into his mancave. It is now kind of a POS with food stains and beer stains and butt imprint. LOL. He loves it (and also recognizes it has become a POS).<br /> We also have a leather awesome couch in our living room--we split it up (it's a two part couch), and put the ottoman on the side. It is comfy, great for company, looks good with the room, and is the perfect height for LO to lean against when he practices standing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347945 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:44:56 +0000 photojane 347945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cole: thanks! it's actually from a local furniture store (grand furniture). they were having a big sale. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347926 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 17:36:16 +0000 immabeetoo 347926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours are ok - we bought them when we moved here from a big box store knowing they'd go into the basement when we moved into a house. I'm with @cocobee though.. Pottery Barn couches cannot be beat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347848 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:56:50 +0000 PawPrints 347848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've got the beige microfiber couches that seem to be very popular in magazines these days, purchased for pretty cheap from a regular furniture showroom on sale. I like them a LOT more since Pinterest taught me how to remove the stains from the dogs' drool off of the cushions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347793 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:27:23 +0000 Cole 347793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I love love your living room! Where is your couch from? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347778 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:18:46 +0000 photojane 347778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! I love it so much. It's almost like linen, but much more durable and stain resistant. It's insanely comfy, and I could lay there all day. We have the matching loveseat too. We had a hard time finding something not microfiber or leather, and I'm so glad we found these.</p> <p>I took this with my phone when we first got the couch a couple months ago: </p> [attach=1879/12/mc3xva.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347771 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:14:55 +0000 Freckles 347771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: our living room has more streamlined furniture of the mid-century mod type, but we went for something big and comfy for the play room/basement. I love the lines of the karlstad! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347768 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 16:12:42 +0000 Freckles 347768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got a comfy sectional from C&amp;B for the basement (our play room). It is one of those let's just curl up on the couch and read/watch tv all weekend couches. I love it! </p> [attach=2462/12/mc3xl6.558x558.lounge-2-piece-sectional-sofa.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347695 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:48:19 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 347695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, not so much. The cushions need restuffing or something. You sink in the middle of the couch when sitting or laying on it. The loveseat is in good condition though! But that's because we don't sit on it! LOL</p> <p>I bought the couch/loveseat in '06, so I guess they've done ok.</p> <p>I would love a nice sectional for our next couch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347683 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:44:25 +0000 banana 347683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our couch! It's super cushiony and so soft. We bought it when our son was born because we figured the microfiber material would be great for dealing with spills. I like that the seat cushions are extra long and wide. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347674 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:41:44 +0000 loveisstrange 347674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Karlstad from IKEA in dark gray (same couch as John and Sherry from YHL!) Not the fanciest, but i really like them. I hate, hate, hate big, overstuffed couches. I love how ours has nice clean, modern lines. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347651 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:31:05 +0000 erwoo 347651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Seriously! I remember my parents had this rosewood couch set with cushions that had plastic on it! Then they got rid of it and got ANOTHER set without the plastic when we got older. LOL! Now, they have more normal couches with removable covers similar to ours. Whew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347646 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:27:28 +0000 Mrs. Pen 347646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: LOVE LOVE LOVE mustard. It's my favorite color. I need more of it.<br /> Once we get a new couch, I want it to be grey and then make a bunch of mustard colored pillows. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347641 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:24:50 +0000 mrbee 347641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: That's the plan!

That's what I did with all of our cushions when our dog started peeing randomly on our couch when I was pregnant with my first. She has since stopped peeing on our couch but it has saved me a few times when she did it. Plus, it's also good for accidental spills or when your friend's child accidentally pees on your couch while napping on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347629 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:21:19 +0000 Mrsbells 347629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No we bought a leather couch from Bobs and its ok but not great. its not as comfortable as I would like </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347620 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:19:11 +0000 HLK208 347620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! We bought a cheap couch. It's been terrible. I've been lusting over this one from Bassett for awhile now...but we won't buy it until we are in our next house (hopefully soon!) </p> [attach=1336/12/mc3v3z.480x480.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347608 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:16:05 +0000 erwoo 347608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love our sectional from Arhaus. I've always wanted a U-shaped one with a chaise and that's what we got. It's a micro-chenille material which means it looks like chenille but a microfiber material so it's super easy to clean. My husband hates it b/c he doesn't like how the feathers makes it sink it but it fluffs back out so I don't know what he's complaining about. :P It was our huge splurge for the house when we first bought it. Before then we had this really old black leather Ikea couch my husband bought before we met. That's currently in our bedroom now. I hate it but it served me well during my middle-of-the-night nursing sessions with both boys. Looking to replace that later on to something more comfortable and matches our bedroom set. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347601 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:13:52 +0000 LivsMama 347601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347594 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:12:17 +0000 Adira 347594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: It's from Jordan's Furniture.</p> <p><a href="http://www.jordans.com/Sofas/L00042030.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.jordans.com/Sofas/L00042030.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347593 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:12:14 +0000 Alivoo01 347593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubby loved the couches his aunt had so we bought them from her when we moved into our house. I'm not in love with them, but for the price, we took them. They're poorly misshapen and saggy now, and the cushions constantly slides out when the hubby sits on them for some reason. They're comfy, but I wouldn't mind upgrading to nicer couches! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347588 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:11:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 347588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>UGH. NO. I hate my couches. They are too overstuffed, which makes them look too casual. I want something more structured which I think will add a sense of formality. I also want it in a wacky color. I want to redecorate my living room because I currently hate it (strongly dislike it) but I don't feel like I can do that til I get rid of the couches!</p> <p>Here is a pic of my couches and then a pic of my dream couch (Silhouette by Crate and Barrel, in Mustard):</p> <p>[attach=1616/12/mc3uxr.600x600.IMG_20120912_180300.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=1616/12/mc3uxs.450x600.c-and-b-couch.JPG] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347575 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:07:32 +0000 LivsMama 347575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: the BEST Ive ever sat on was called The Mammoth from Z Gallerie. Unfortunately they dont make it anymore, but it was a humungous overstuffed soft couch. Felt like you were sitting ona bed of feather pillows. And it was super deep, so 2 people could easily snuggle and sleep </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-awesome-couch#post-347570 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 15:06:19 +0000 LivsMama 347570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Adira: Where is that one you posted a photo of from?
