I've just discovered this forum and I am glad I did. I have owned a Cameron Sleeper Sofa from Crate and Barrel for almost three years now. The bed is amazing, so comfortable for guests, but the couch is unbearably uncomfortable. I hate sitting on it, I feel that it's even contributed to my back pain. In the beginning I figured that the cushions just needed to be broken in, but it's years later and the cushions need to be replaced and the couch has never been comfortable. Now, I know that sleeper couches are a bit "stiffer" but the entire couch, from the slope of the back to the arm rests just aren't comfortable for lounging around. So I just spoke with CB and they are willing to take the couch back for a restocking fee: $360 (so I gotta keep the purchase to CB). Which to me is a small price to get rid of this thing. I have my eye on the Hunter Woods Sofa (without the sleeper), but I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Does anyone have any thoughts on the sofa I have vs. the one I am considering on purchasing? I've learned that the Cameron sofa (which I currently own) is a Lee and the Hunter Woods is a McCreary Modern. Should I be worried about McCreary Modern in comparison to Lee? Thoughts, Advice, Options? Thanks in advance for all your help.

You have to use high-density foam that is made for furniture cushions, or you will end up with pancakes in a matter of months. The thread I've linked below has a thorough discussion about sofa cushions toward the end of the discussion...I'd say read through it and then decide what you want to do. Here is a link that might be useful: Upholstery cushion discussion

About a month ago I received the Louge 93" sofa in Walnut, and I just received my Lounge 73" Apartment Sofa in Walnut this past weekend. I wanted to do a sofa/loveseat combo and the 73" functions well as a "loveseat" in my space. I love both couches, however, it seems like the 73" is more sturdy. It seems to sit up higher than the 93", but that could be because it is newer, so I'm giving the cushions a couple of weeks to see how they hold up. I do rotate the cushions weekly. After a few weeks, if the 73" still appears fuller than the 93", then I'm going to contact customer service. I suppose its worth noting that the 73" had to be custom made, while the 93" is considered a stock item.

@danielburns What did you decide on getting? I am in a similar situation. Love the customization at Monarch but there is no showroom in the northeast. I even asked if I could purchase a cushion but they declined. It’s hard to buy a sofa based in reviews IMO.
