You know, I heard them young folks talkin’ ’bout somethin’ called an “extra deep couch“. Now, back in my day, a couch was a couch. You sat on it, maybe took a nap. But these days, they got all sorts of fancy couches. This one, this extra deep one, it’s supposed to be somethin’ special, I reckon.
They say it’s for loungin’. What in the Sam Hill is loungin’? Sounds lazy to me. But I guess if you got the space, and you like to lay around all day, then maybe this extra deep couch is for you. They say it for tall folks or them that like to spread out.
Now, I seen a lot of couches in my time. Some were hard as rocks, some were so soft you’d sink right in and never come out. This extra deep couch, they say it’s real cozy. Like a big ol’ hug, I suppose. You can just sink right in, and let all your troubles melt away. Sounds nice, don’t it? But I bet it costs a pretty penny, these fancy things always do. They say you can sleep on these things. Better than them old sofa beds that got a bar stick in your back.
They talk ’bout the “seat depth”. Sounds like somethin’ you’d measure in a lake, not on a couch! But I reckon it just means how far back you can sit. Normal couches, they say the seat is ’bout 20 to 25 inches. But these here extra deep couches, they can be over 35 inches. That’s a whole lotta couch! They got big ones, and small ones, and ones you can wash. Wash a couch, imagine that! What a world.
- Regular couch is like 20 to 25 inches deep.
- Extra deep couch is more than 35 inches deep.
- Good for tall people or folks who like to stretch out.
- Some folks say you can sleep on these things, too.
If you’re a tall drink of water, they say you want a deeper seat. Maybe 23 to 25 inches, they say. And if you’re a little shorter, like me, then maybe 20 inches is good enough. But this extra deep couch, it’s like a whole ‘nother world of sittin’.
I seen some folks talkin’ ’bout these couches online. They say they’re good for family rooms. Where you can all pile on and watch the picture box, I reckon. Or just hang out, as they say. I don’t know about all that hangin’ out. Seems like a lot of doin’ nothin’ to me. But I guess everyone’s got their own way of relaxin’.
Some folks even sleep on these extra deep couches. Can you imagine? Just right there in the livin’ room. I guess if you don’t have a bed, or if you have company over, it might be handy. But I always preferred a good, firm mattress myself. These newfangled things, they’re probably too soft for my old bones. But if you got money to burn, and like to sleep on your couch, well you do you, I guess.
They say you gotta think about where you gonna put this thing. It’s big, you know. Not gonna fit in just any old room. You gotta have space for it. And you gotta think about how you gonna sit on it. Or lay on it, I suppose, if you’re into that sort of thing. They say these are good for informal spaces, not them fancy parlors folks used to have.
I don’t know much about all this fancy couch business. But I do know that a good couch is important. It’s where you sit and visit with folks. It’s where you rest your weary bones after a long day. It’s where you might even take a little cat nap. So, if this extra deep couch is what makes you happy, then I say go for it. Just make sure you got enough room for it, and make sure you get your money’s worth. Don’t be spendin’ all your money on some fancy thing and then not even usin’ it, that’s no good at all, I tell you.
They got all kinds of these extra deep couches now, I hear. Some are made for little bitty spaces, and some are big enough to fit a whole family. They even got ones you can take apart and put back together, like a puzzle. It’s a crazy world we live in, ain’t it? But I reckon as long as you’re comfortable, that’s all that matters. So go on and find yourself a good couch, whether it’s extra deep or not, and enjoy it! They say they even got ways to pay it off, like a layaway or somethin’. They call it financing. They got a word for everythin’, I reckon.
