These couches are hostile furnishings for the home. Designed with a center console that acts as a physical barrier between you and The Wife™. Complete with cup holders, motorized reclining action, and a storage compartment where you can keep your Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition collection.
There is no space on this couch for any form of physical intimacy.
It is the devils bargain. You only get this level of comfort by betting physically separated from your partner. Innovation in isolation.
You say that, but while I may feel an increase in discomfort when my partner invades my sofa space for a hug, I never fall asleep so soundly and happily as when she’s there. Better than any bed.
