A reviewer says: "So far, I’m very pleased with my new lilac couch. It arrived yesterday after two months of waiting (although it was on back order). The couch is super firm, but I’m hoping it’ll soften after some use. The velvet isn’t crushed, so it’s very smooth. It looks a bit shorter IRL but I didn’t measure the height and it’s not an issue to me at all. I still have to buy the other side and the ottoman, but so far I'm very happy. It looks chic."

• Eight-way hand-tied springs. According to Hanle, a couch's base construction is one of the most important factors in determining how comfortable the couch will be. She recommends styles with eight-way hand-tied spring systems, which “allow each spring to move independently for maximum comfort, no matter where you sit,” she says.

• Durable frame. “Look for options with with kiln-dried wood to prevent warping, twisting, and cracking,” Hanle notes. “Primary wood joints [should be] both glued and stapled, and reinforced with wood blocking to help prevent the frame from pulling apart over time.”
• Foam and feather cushions. For ultimate comfort, Hanle recommends looking for styles whose cushions have multiple layers of foam wrapped in a down/feather blend. “The layers of foam have varying compression to allow for support and structure, while the down/feather wrap provides softness and comfort,” she says.
• Proper seat and arm height. “The height of the users should be considered when choosing a sofa,” she says. “Deeper sofas are typically more comfortable, but you don’t want them so deep that one’s feet can’t touch the ground while sitting all the way against the back cushion." And when it comes to the armrests, "anything too high or low isn’t comfortable," she adds. "Often, with more contemporary styles of sofas, the arm is too low for a person’s arm to rest. The ideal seat height is 19 to 21 inches, with an arm height of 5 to 7 feet above the seat.”
