It’s amazing how much a positive difference a comfy couch makes in your life. It’s almost a quality of life change.

Nice. Have you chosen the replacement, or do you you have shopping ahead of you?

I've been unable to decide between replacing and recovering my old lounge suite for about 5 years now! It currently has a cheap cover on top so you can't see the torn threads and has an old doona on top of the cushions to add some padding. I really need to do something about it.

Avoid Berkowitz, they were unbelievably shit when we got our new couch a few months back. Gas-lighting scumlords. Their argument was: "Chinese people put their sofas against a wall, so damage during shipping and wonky stitching on the back of the couch is to be expected". Arseholes.
