I've had this purchase on my list for a while now but just never followed through. About two years ago I went into a Rooms To Go to look at options (and prices). That was the last time I actively searched for a sofa. Until recently.
Getting inspired to re-decorate my living/dining room was just the push I needed to finally get serious about having legit living room furniture. Now, I didn't buy a whole matching set or anything. I'm not that much of an adult yet. Baby steps. Besides, right now I am basically living in an apartment that I (hopefully) will not live in forever. When I buy my own house, then we'll talk about matching furniture.
In the meantime, I am very happy with my purchase. After shopping online for several days, I decided on the Benchcraft Zeb Queen Sleeper Sofa I found on Wayfair. I've never used Wayfair before but everything went great. They offer payment plans for large purchases which enabled me to go ahead and buy the couch now instead of waiting a few months. The couch was delivered in about two weeks. It is firm but not hard and is plenty big enough for me to lay on without falling off, which is a plus.
I wanted a sleeper sofa for one main reason: so people could sleep on it! No way, right? But seriously, there are no other places for guests to sleep and I knew a regular couch would probably not suffice. Especially if more than one person stays over at a time. I haven't opened up the sofa bed part yet (because I haven't managed to get rid of my old couch bed and there is no space) but so far I love it.
My main concern now is storage. I used the trundle from my old couch to store games, yoga mats, weights, my lawn chair, etc. The bed has now been gifted to my dad for the guest room/his man cave so I'm hopeful he will let me to continue to store some of my things in it. Dads don't have stuff right?
In order to motivate myself to use them, I am going to leave my weights and yoga mats downstairs. I am supposed to be developing a new workout routine this month (per my 12 Months to a Healthier Life plan) but I've been so busy I haven't gotten around to it yet.
Hopefully life will slow down a bit next month and I can make even more progress on my re-decorating project.
