I had to send my flowery covers back, the colour was faded in areas, I do love it though

We just got one of these sofas this week. I wasn't pleased with it at first as I find it a bit hard & the depth isn't very good either I don't think, I like a good depth of seat to curl up on! The back cushions I felt were too full & push you forward too much but I have pulled the seat cushions just a fraction forward (the gap at the back isn't noticable because of the huge back cushions) and I feel this has made it much more comfortable for me, although I do still think the cushions are quite hard but for the price who can complain too much.
I also bought some different cushions from Bemz for our Jennylund chair & the sofa so can't wait for those to arrive.
I did a blog post on the covers & link to which ones I choose so click here to see!
love

I was miffed that I couldn't fit the sofa in the gap I have.
It was on freecycle complete with spare covers.
When I looked at the measurements I noticed that although too wide, it wasn't very deep.
I like the look of this one though, not that I'll get one on freecycle

BM I like the look of the Argos one too BUT if you look on MSE their sofas get very poor reviews. Will go and look for a link. EDIT http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/...81&postcount=1

I had an Argos suite before. The sofas were fine but the chair was rubbish. We had them about 4 years and feecycled them, by then the chair had been chooped up, one sofa was a bit dodgy but the other fine
Not very consistant quality at all
I don't need new, just don't like mine much

We had an Argos one a few years ago and that wasn't very comfortable at all, the problem is is that you can't really try them first isn't it? I was glad to see the back of our Argos one!
