Well, I did it. After reading Bloomberg's article about the fast-fashionization of couches- https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-06-24/couches-don-t-last-as-long-thanks-to-shipping-costs-fashion-trends - I decided I was going to go ahead and replace my couch with the #Sabai #evergreen sofa.
Before I could place the order they announced their 5-year anniversary sale, 15% off anything over $500, so... yeah. Good time to purchase the most expensive piece of furniture I've ever bought.
We'll see how this goes.
Looking into the #furniture situation a little further.
I live in a third floor walkup. The #Sabai couch will be shipping in multiple boxes if I order one, and according to various reviews I've seen, each box should be light enough for one person to get up a basic flight of stairs but will be much easier to move if I have some assistance. This is fine. However:
I am... not entirely sure what an 8 back would feel like but I suspect that I am going to need to heap the cushions on.
... hm. okay. The #Sabai rep said that the seat cushions on the 86" are 1.8 lbs/cubic inch density and 28 firmness. If I'm understanding this correctly, the 28 is the foam's #ILD rating. The foam I bought from Joann for replacement cushioning has an ILD score of 36, so it's somewhat firmer.
