I need a new sofa...just wondering what is best?

At the minute I have sofas from Ikea, which have served us well for the last 7 years. So now, its time to get some new ones and I was wondering about what features were good...the ones I have now have loose slipcovers so I can throw them in the washing machine...I like that function, but I wonder if one with static covers are better? Anyone care to comment? Also, keep in mind that I have 2 cats and a baby....and a husband!

I just worry about ones where the covers don't come off because I am a messy bugger!!!

This is the one I like, but I would need two of them for the room, the walls are light brown...

Don't forget, I live in England, so I can't shop at all those great places on LI.

This looks great in the pictures and I am going to have a look at it tomorrow, I hope when I see it that the pillows aren't stuffed with ROCKS or PEBBLES!!

Don't you want to sit on your new sofa NOW???

I like places with the guarantees. You pay X amount for the sofa plus like $500 on top of it for protection plan. I admit I am messy Chat Icon and then there is also my 2 year old that is constantly putting ice cream on the sofa I have now, the cat etc. Some of the more expensive places offer the protection plan and cover pet damage, all food stains, a cut on the fabric etc. The sofa I bought 3 years ago during hard times only cost me like $400. I am planning on spending $3000 on my new one. $500 of it will be for the protection plan. They will be sorry they even sold the plan to me when I am through with them. heheheChat Icon

They'll replace the sofa or store credit if they can't fix it.
