They are too deep..8 yrs old and in perfect condition, but I want something like you described. I want 3 cushions, cause with 2, when you have company, no one ever sits in the middle!<br />Hope you find what you like!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323768335143979148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-88724739972429119802009-10-13T17:01:42.360-04:002009-10-13T17:01:42.360-04:00Look on line at American Signature.

The throw pillows can be used for naps or just stacked on the floor.<br /><br />In order to find a couch you don't sink into, find something (maybe something you already have)and measure the depth. Use that as a guide when shopping.<br /><br />I personally love Overstock.com. You will get a great description and all the measurments. Prices are fantastic and shipping is $2.99 on ALL items. <br /><br />Let us know what you decide on!<br /><br />xoxo<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-86765547767963272282009-10-13T12:32:56.611-04:002009-10-13T12:32:56.611-04:00Hi Sally, The best sofa I have ever had is our La...Hi Sally, The best sofa I have ever had is our LazyBoy.

They do let you buy just the pieces you want rather than the whole roomful.<br /><br />We found the living room one at a neat little small, non name-brand store in GA. It's too far just to drive there to furniture shop or else I'd go there again.Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-58159449872276001552009-10-13T11:40:12.661-04:002009-10-13T11:40:12.661-04:00Mine fall in two groups.

Whereas the other, the seat part if so wide, your feet will not touch the floor, unless you really tall. Take your time.

Great thing about Kravet and other high end lines is that it is so custom.

My hubby and I have very different tastes in couches so I think we compromise. After some cheap furniture, I finally got to pick the couch I wanted and when it wore out he now has the couch he wants.

I'm so short, most of the sofas I sat on, my tiny legs wouldn't touch the floor and I'd have to roll off! :)<br />Thank you, Sally for your prayers for my daughter.

They have very nice furniture, and you might be able to find something there. They might have a camel back sofa which should have a tight back. Ours did. You can also call the lady at the factory and talk to her. She's very knowledgable. I have two love seats my mother gave us for a wedding gift over thirty years ago, and they've been good "friends." They have eight-way hand tied coils and hardwood frames. So they are good sofas that have lasted. The price is right, too, because you are buying from their family factory. Check it out and see...<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-22217894242024595892009-10-13T08:23:18.345-04:002009-10-13T08:23:18.345-04:00Congratulations! and GOD BLESS!

Nah, it is the makers fault. What are they thinking? Do they think everyone has springs in their legs? LOL. <br /><br />We found a fabulous couch at Lazy Boy. Each individual cushion has it's own springs. High and comfortable. No cushions on the back, I hate that. They never stay in place. Check it out.<br /><br />Have a happy day.<br /><br />Hugs, Jeannejeannehttp://backyardneighbor.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-1252734399223597682009-10-13T07:52:13.569-04:002009-10-13T07:52:13.569-04:00Good luck.

Husband & I watch the sales and don't find anything worth going to see.
