It took me a while, but I have finally learned to buy furniture for its comfort level rather than its aesthetic appeal. Often it seems you have to sacrifice one for the other but every once in a while you come upon a gem that offers both. Now while I'm not crazy about the color scheme, I think the Curve Frame Sofa may just be that perfect piece.
With curves in all the right places, the Curve Frame Sofa literally hugs your spine while not ruining your posture at the same time. I don't think I would even make it to my bed if I had one of these; I would probably just slip into a gentle coma.
