Sofas are meant to be relaxing, and sinking your tired body onto a comfortable one is one feeling that not many others can beat. Well, how about having the sound of some water flowing in the background to further enhance your relaxed mood? That is now made possible thanks to the
Floating Sofa, measuring 68″ in diameter. This inflatable waterborne sofa is able to comfortably seat three adults – could some of you have naughty thoughts with that piece of information? It is meant for use in swimming pools or other calm waters, featuring a platform that keeps loungers 8″ from the water’s surface while being easy to board. A trio of inflatable pillows complete the collection, where it is made from resilient PVC that is both puncture- and UV-resistant, with a maximum weight support of 350 lbs. Nice to know this $179.95 device comes with a battery powered pump that is able to inflate and deflate the Floating Sofa within minutes.

What a fantastic sofa ... in a classic
modern fabric. Looking comfy, stylish and sophisticated with its trendy floral accents, the new Forum modular sofa by Linea Italia will create a beautiful statement in a modern or transitional living space. This fabric is a real treat for the eye. Also available in leather or microfiber, and supported by a wooden frame, the Forum sofas are comfortable to boot. Multiple compositions can be obtained using straight and angular modules that are hold together by retractable metal hooks hidden underneath. There is also a pouf that can be added to this fabulous ensemble. Sitting low to the ground, the Forum’s angular dimensions allow it to fit perfectly into any space, whether it’s in the middle of the room or nudged up against a corner.

Cream leather sofas are a practical option for people who want light-colored furniture that requires little maintenance. They're more stain-resistant than fabric sofas and spills usually just run off the surface. Remove dirt, fingerprints, and pet hair by vacuuming and wiping with a damp sponge.
1. Fill a bucket with warm water and a small amount of dish soap or leather cleaner.
2. Remove the cushions and pull the couch away from the wall if necessary. Vacuum any dirt using a brush or nozzle attachment.
3. Wipe down the entire couch using a sponge and soapy water. Squeeze out the sponge to get rid of any excess water, which is bad for the leather. Start at the top and work your way down. Clean the arm rests, cushions and the back of the sofa.
4. Fill the bucket with clean water and rinse out the sponge. Wipe down the couch again to get rid of any soap residue. Rinse the sponge in the bucket periodically.
5. Dry the sofa quickly with a towel. Dry any cracks or crevices where water may collect. Replace the cushions and move the sofa back to its original position.

Do you know the #1 reason people like you can’t seem to find the right sofa bed? Read on and you’ll be amazed what the answer is. A sofa bed, also called a sleeper sofa or hide-a-bed, is a sofa with a bed built into it. The bed in a sofa bed is mechanically engineered to fold into and out of the base of the sofa to transform the modular sofa from a couch into a bed. This dual purpose piece of furniture provides a great alternative to a guest room by allowing the family or living room where a sofa bed is used to turn into a place for overnight guests to stay. If you’re struggling with limited space or just want a convenient seating and sleeping option for your guest room, living room or bedroom consider a sofa sleeper bed. Sofa beds are ideal for saving space because they fold up into the size of a sofa when not being used as a bed.
You can buy sofa beds in a wide range of price bands, right from the most basic functional design to top of the range contemporary leather models, depending on your budget. From traditional styles to very modern designs and with so many designs and fabrics to choose from, you can easily find a perfect piece of furniture for your home.

While buying the sofa bed, certain factors need to be borne in mind. The first and foremost aspect on which you have to give due consideration is the fact that who is going to use it, a single individual or a couple. In addition, there arises a need to pay attention to the size of the bedroom. Both the factors will have a bearing on the size of the sofa bed. Accordingly, you need to make the right selection. No doubt sofa beds are often used in small rooms, but before buying it; make sure that it will be possible to open the door of the room, when the bed is open.
The humble sofa bed provides a simple means of making an extra bed available at short notice. Sofa bed is one of the most popular forms of space saving beds in the market today and fits nearly anywhere in your home, without taking up an excessive amount of space. Apart from looking nice, it is very comfortable, and takes away the concern of storage making your guests stay much more enjoyable.
Sofa sleeper beds are perfect for kid’s rooms because folding the bed up means more play space and seating during the day. These days, there are all kinds of sofa beds from which you can choose. As you’ll see when shopping, they range from affordable to expensive. Sofa bed is a convertible multi-functional piece of furniture. It can be used as a seat during the day and converted into a bed at night. The three most important attractions of the sleeper sofa bed are 3S that are sitting, storing and sleeping. It is like buying a couch, bed, and cupboard, for the cost of one piece of furniture. In case you do not have a guest room, a sofa bed in the drawing room will provide the perfect accommodation to your guests.

Let’s face it – we purchase leather living room furniture because of the luxury and feel of it as well as the quality that’s put into its construction. Leather sofas are synonymous with the finer things in life. Modern Furniture Warehouse has a large selection of beautiful traditional and contemporary leather sofas. Finding your style is easy and we make it owning that style affordable and easy with our free shipping offer* and easy financing options. Keep reading for some of our recommendations for choosing the best leather sofa for your unique tastes.
Like the crisp look of white? Take a look at the Aristocrat Sofa in white. The tufted back and sides are great for providing texture and depth while the black ball feet are the ideal contrast against the crisp look of solid white. Note the ribbed arm fronts and attention to detail along the bottom skirting. It’s a luxurious addition to the most modern of living rooms.
For a streamlined and sleek look, consider an armless leather sofa. The Diamond Sofa by the Zen Collection is contemporary and all about flexibility in placement options. With a kiln dried hardwood frame, you know your selection is durable and will look great for years. The top grain leather ensures its beauty, and the attached seat and back cushions are ideal for keeping wear and tear to a minimum.

Two lucky people will get the chance to appear on television in a new commercial for one of the Midland's biggest furniture retailers. Auditions will be held at Cousins Furniture's Tyseley store this weekend to coincide with the anniversary of its opening. The search is to find two people to sit on a sofa in the new TV campaign that will air towards the end of the year. The winners will not only be filmed for the commercial but can enjoy being pampered on a two-day spa break at Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire. Cousin's managing director Robert Shotton said: "We're delighted to be able to offer people the opportunity to take part and I'm confident that we are going to find a great couple to star. The auditions are bound to be fun, the filming should be exciting and the when the adverts run over the New Year, it's going to be a surprise for anyone who knows them! We were inspired by our customers - real people will be as good, if not better than the lifestyle models we usually hire in for our adverts. Anyone interested needs to turn up with a friend or partner and pose for a photo between 12pm and 3pm at the Warwick Road store on Saturday, before filling out some details. Five finalists will then be selected by a panel of judges and the winner will be chosen later in the week after a public vote. The winner will be announced live on Birmingham's BRMB Radio, whose listeners will vote for their winner on the station's website throughout the week. ENDS Caption: A couple from a Cousins TV ad
