I’m feeling grumpy…. I know, let’s make fun of this What’s the best sofa under $1000? article!

It has a stupid double-decker aspect to it and the cushion is too high. Now that you can get a very comfortable air mattress with a build-in inflator for like $50 on Amazon (which has been true for years at this point) there is no reason to ever buy a convertible sofa. The 80s can have their pull-out back, hard pass.

This looks like a kids’ beanbag chair that molted and is now bigger. The only place any of these should ever be is in a basement play room that no one ever has to look at.

Looks like they ran out of parts halfway through making this and ended up with the mid-century version of a fainting couch. Lol no.

This looks alright but not really comfortable in a homey way. Also those button things on the back look stupid. I’d be happy to see this in a waiting room. Not in my house.

This is fine, I wouldn’t get it in this color, but it’s fine. But the legs look like afterthoughts and one is noticeably crooked. If you saw a car ad and the car had a wheel on crooked would you buy that car? Pass.

I’m not going to dignify this monstrosity with a substantive comment. If anyone I knew bought, obtained, came into possession of, or really had anything remotely to do with this object I would un-friend them.

I cut off the name of this sofa manufacturer because no one needs it. Within approximately 0.0003 seconds of this image coming into your field of vision you knew where this is from. This is a couch that you buy for $100 on craigslist. I would rather be force-fed Swedish meatballs until my gut ruptures than pay $700 for this depressing mediocrity.

It’s fine. Looks like it’s on toothpicks though.

Announcement: I’m out of steam and there are still 6 left. I skip to the end

I have an idea, instead of a couch lets get something that looks like conjoned triplets. It’s fluffy AND skeletal.

That was fun. and I didn’t even make fun of the gushing blurbs for each one.
