I was just doing a search on how to clean this couch, but since I've had it for almost 2 years now I thought I'd write a comment to add to this string in case others were considering it.

I LOVE this couch. I really, really wanted the Petrie from Crate & Barrel, but couldn't afford it. My husband bought me the Movie couch for xmas after we saw it ON SALE for $600! I don't know why it was on sale--maybe someone returned it.

Anyway, it's great. Sometimes I worry that the cushion may be too soft and that it won't last long, but so far it's held up even with a 2 year old bouncing on it every chance she gets.
We needed something that the 2 of us (hubby & I) could both sprawl on while watching movies and my hubby sleeps on it a lot because he falls asleep watching movies.

Now, my only issue is cleaning it. Anyone have any recommendations? I'm tempted to throw the removable cushion cover into the washer, but terrified that it will shrink.
Since we have cats and a toddler it seems like a good idea to wash this thing every once in a while.

Yes! We got rid of cable about a year ago. We have an xbox with netflix. Our next upgrade will be this thing called an Argosy Pocket TV Media Player that allows you to use torrents and watch stuff on TV--my husband's the brains for getting that set up.
I think this stuff is really great, especially if you have a young child whom you're trying to shield from the increasingly disturbing commercials (for example) that they show on tv. Also, I like the freedom of watching stuff when I have the time. I love computers and hard drives! Added bonus-I no longer have piles of dvds everywhere.
