I HATE MY COUCH

Description

I hate my couch, and I know from talking to you on Instagram that I'm not alone! Buying a couch is a major investment and is the heart of your living room; As a plus-size consumer on a budget, I know first hand how hard it is to find a decent quality, comfortable and affordable couch that will stand up to our weight, kids who flop on couches, or big burly men who...well also flop. Oh heck who am I kidding, your girl LOVES to flop on a couch haha.

Buying a couch is a major investment and is the heart of your living room; As a plus-size consumer on a budget, I know first hand how hard it is to find a decent quality, comfortable and affordable couch that will stand up to our weight, kids who flop on couches, or big burly men who...well also flop. Oh heck who am I kidding, your girl LOVES to flop on a couch haha.

As furniture quality has declined in recent decades, and the American waistline has expanded, it puts the consumer in a really difficult position, and stores are not transparent about construction, and it can be hard to know what your needs are between dizzying price tags and pretty fabrics. It can be so hard to tell what's good, what will hold up to use/abuse and price isn't always the best indicator as I will chronicle in this video. As an expansion of my beauty and fashion content, I'm thrilled to share lifestyle & home experience based reviews and help advocate for YOU the consumer.

The first half of of this vlog is a retelling of my hits and many, many misses in the land of "COUCH WORLD". From had hand-me-down smelly old couches, to a majorly disappointing and expensive West Elm Sofa; An Ikea Kivik that was wonderful, to my stoopid decision to replace a perfectly good couch with a Chi-Chi consignment couch which was the worst of the bunch.I'm glad to have had all these weird and disappointing experiences, because now you don't have to!

The second half of the video shows us trying out new couches at IKEA and trying to make a smart decision based on our plethora of experiences. Finally we"ll have the reveal of what couch we bought and how it's styled in our home.


While I'm speaking from my own plus-size point of view, I want to hear from ALL of you: horror stories, success stories, weird roommate's couches...DISH in the comments! Anyone interested in a room tour?

Thank you for watching, and please find a way to live YOUR life to the FULLEST!
-Xoxo Cora
