My hubby & I went to buy a couch. Never had we bought one together and we tried all of them.... some were too soft so we quickly moved on. Then after 40 minutes we found one that seemed to be good. Bought it. This was in the winter. We have a NEW hardwood floor in the front room and the guys came in to check out were it was going. Came in - in their snow boots. Never removed them. Then went out to get the couch, returned (with snow on their boots) and walked in. Tons of snow on the hardwood floor....... Then, they left and we tried the couch. Oh wow.... HARD AS A ROCK. So I guess it's going to take a LONG TIME to soften up.... Not impressed.
