Checkin' out couches, and also testing LJ post-by-email with HTML. (didn't work, had to edit the links into place.)

How does this one look? the black one matches my recliner (they both come in birch with black cushions), but if it gives visitors the idea that I bought the cheapest thing in the catalog, that'd be unfortunate. I also noticed that lying down on it means foregoing the armrests. In theory that could be solved by pillows. But it could also be solved by a better couch.

I decided to try ask.com's shopping feature and look around. I could get one of these. it's inflatable and has a Footrest! Also, are you allowed to call it a sofa if it's impossible to sleep across or make out on?

There were a few more serious contenders in the mix, and I think we may have a winner. It's black and is consistently cushioned, and apparently folds down flat to become sleepable. Unfortunately that implies futon-like discomfort. So I'll have to pay the local Target store a visit.

(Update: Sadly, real furniture makes all my existing cheap furniture look cheap by comparison. but the "better couch" above has a matching better recliner that I can get eventually.)
