Soft Furnishings

This site discusses couches, a type of soft seating upon which more than one person can sit. Couches, also called sofas and davenports, come in many types and sizes, including sleeper sofas that open into beds. The site also describes the way couches are constructed. There is a link to a couch manufacturer directory and to two other sites that can help consumers in making decisions about what kind of couches to purchase.

Slipcovers are a wonderful way to recover sofas and chairs without having to replace them. Basically, they come in two types: ready made and custom made. Custom-made slipcovers are more expensive, but the consumer has more options in terms of fabric and style. The website provides links to both types of slipcovers plus a link to sources for DIY.
