However, we love that it’s still breathable enough for two adults to use together (without overheating anyo While we have found that, over six months of sleeping with them every night, they do develop some slight pilling and nubbiness, they’re overall still as soft and smooth as the first day we used them. And we like using them year-round to stay comfortable in cool months as well as humid summ If you're in the market for an affordable couch, this option from Honbay is an excellent choice, in our opinion. While we didn't personally test this couch, we love that the brand's Reversible Sectional can be configured into a U-shape, an L-shaped sectional with the chaise on either side, or an extra-long six-seater s We think this couch was definitely on the firmer side—not plush enough to sink into, but comfortable enough to lounge on for long periods.
