I am thinking about getting a Boneless Couch.
Has anyone tried them? Do they maintain their shape?
JD in recovery?
?
The reference is that JD Vance fucks couches. He’s a couch fucker. More people would understand this if they read his autobiography.
Oh, I see. No, I am not going to fuck the couch.
That’s good, makes it more likely for the couch to last a while. Less cleaning too.
Beanbags aren’t known for staying the same shape, no
It’s not a beanbag. It’s made of foam.
Foam is pretty notorious for wearing out over time.
That said I have no experience with these couches. But with my experience with normal foam I can’t imagine it’s good.
I’ve used a lot of mattresses made of foam. They were pretty good.
Every couch is boneless if you don’t bone on it.
Mine has. Pretty good little couch actually, though not as soft as others. You could probably put additional cushions on top.
I’m glad your couch has maintained its shape. It figures that the foam isn’t very soft. If it were too soft, it would break down more easily.
Im actually curious too. Moving soon and my GF wants one
The singular response I got said that it holds up ok, but it’s not very soft.
Got a link?
You’ll need to make sure that the upholstery has some degree of rigidity for structure to keep its shape. The foam itself will not be enough.
E.g. foam with only a thin cotton-like covering? Garbage, will be barely better than a beanbag.
Separated cushions will help rigidity too as they will deform and reduce the load on the main form.
Get the most dense/stiff foam possible to maintain form: you can always soften it with more cushions, you can’t do opposite.
A family member made one with an exoskeleton to hold it all together (separate foam blocks, four for the base with a firm block under a soft one for structure, raised sides and full block for the back with a tube cage to hold them all together) that lasted more than 40 years with only one reupholster.
The foam blocks were quite cheap direct from the supplier (I think they made mattresses, the back plate was an offcut but the rest were practically custom)
If you can get yourself some decent foam blocks then it could be more cost effective and long lasting to make your own using fabric to hold the shape together the way store bought ones do.
