Nebraska Furniture mart is the best and they sell Charles Schneider memory foam sofa which are the best pain re-leaving gel foam sofas ever, you got to try them. Really just is in a gel foam sofa or a few minutes, you will never go back to economy foam again.

Microfiber is better than a coarse fabric they can get good knots to pull on.

Charles Schneider Gel Memory Foam Sofa. It feels like a tempurepedic mattress. Regular pullouts are totally out classed. Also it is the best sofa for pain, double whammy!

I just bought a new Charles Schneider Memory Foam Sofa and it is killer. It is almost as good as a temperpedic in my living room!

I don't have much of choice where to shop so I am forced to shop online. If your shopping online spend a few extra $$ and buy from a company who stands behind their product.

I like to make mine a bit smaller so the duvet fights tighter and is fluffier. I used a silver iKat pattern called ignite pewter, I love it!

Charles Schneider Furniture makes the only blue gel memory foam sofa I could find.

After calling Future Foam last year they gave me the number to the only furniture company who buys their blue gel memory foam. I called the factory and was transferred to someone with the last name Schneider(I love small businesses when you always get to talk to a real person), he said they are currently testing memory foam sofas and R & D will not be done until "market"(I assume he thought I was a dealer).

About two months ago I got a call from Charles asking if I was the customer who wanted the memory foam sofa and letting me know it was ready for sale. When they found out I only wanted to buy one not a whole truck load, we both got a good chuckle. Since I live about a country mile from the nearest country mile I could not find a dealer close enough to me. They ended up referring me to Wayfair or Hayneedle and said to call them and explain that I want to add memory foam and to call Missy.

If I can finish this post before the sun sets... The online seller shipped me the sofa set, it came in a huge wooden crate with "Proudly Made In America" hand written on the side.

The sofa is great, you can really feel the gel foam mold to your body. When laying on the couch it is like a memory foam mattress. My wife who is about as then as a pen wrights, bless her heart likes it much more than our last sofa. I am about 320lb and am very surprised about the sturdiness of this sofa, i will definitely buy from them again.


Good Questions: Memory Foam Sofa Cushions?

Rand is correct about the density of the foam.

I was looking at that when I bought my sofa. I wanted something denser than a 2.0(which is pretty firm) and from a quality American manufacturer because it seams that the quality of the chemicals is just as important as the density. My research showed that "Future Foam" made the best foam.

I have never heard of a sofa having 4.0 or 5.0+ foam that would be 5 times the chemicals that a bargain cushion would have and would way 5 time the weight. That math does not add up. I suspect they use a 1.2 cushion core and glue a very thin 5.0 piece of foam on top.

If a regular cushion set weighs 10 pounds and is a 1.0 and this other brand is really made from 5.0 it would weigh 50 pounds! Right?

You should really look at Charles Schneider it is a small furniture manufacturer that is still making sofas in the same Iowa factory since the 1940's. They have the firmest best foam you can get and they are American made. Me being a very large man firm foam is a must. As for Ikea, when I burnt one in my trash pile it had maybe 3oz of metal and 90% paper chip board. I could not reuse any of the components. I have the front rail of an old Charles sofa that has been part of my chicken coop door for 10+ years, I think it is solid maple. I always try to recycle or re use everything so having a sofa that is made from wood not paper is something I look for. As for style I love Blue Dot Furniture, I have never taken one apart... yet.
