Is it worth recovering sofas?

I would have thought that this thread could be deleted or frozen. Someone could always start another one if they really wanted to know about recovering sofas. Apart from the spam, the thread seems to have run it's course anyway.

Kitty Frozen, ok. Deleted, absolutely not.
I'm in the throes of making the sofa decision and the information on the thread has been quite helpful.
As long as the spammers are reported and deleted, what's the problem with retaining the rest of the thread?

OK, jane

This is a "very useful information" thread that needs to stay viewable for others. Its only unauthorised advertising that has been an issue. It's not a nasty controversial thread. From what I have seen.

No-one is reading this thread any more, wungcyntia. The only posts are from spammers like yourself.

Yet another one to report .

Yet another! REPORTED

So have I. All these spam posts seem to refer to the same site. They don't bother checking how long the posts stay undeleted, they just send them out regularly from different addresses.

There is no way I would buy even a cushion from this gang. Talk about shooting themselves in the foot!

Dear God, do they never check their spam posts for reactions?

Was it the same crass crew?

Same style of writing so probably. I've never reported a post before and I managed to do it twice by mistake as it was deceptively easy.
You'd think they would have better things to do.

Can I put my two penny worth in? We bought our suite in 1984; it's the type with back cushions as well as seat covers. It was well sprung and covered in Dralon. Remember Dralon? Wonder what happened to it?
Anyway the suite is still very comfortable. I've seen some that look great until you sit down and there's no comfort at all.
We opted for made to measure loose covers which can be washed, and I'm so happy. It looks great, and should last for years. The style is classic and the new covers have instantly updated it. Chose a lovely fabric. It's another option.
This reminds me - do you remember those stretchy bri-nylon covers they used to sell in the catalogues? Ugh!

We are in the process of having ours recovered too, by a local upholsterer. We could have replaced it for only slightly more money but I still like the basic design and it's still comfortable, so it seems the best and most environmentally-friendly option.

Twentyfour people with nothing better to do than post rubbish. I think the theory that sofas must be a euphemism is correct.

I think I shall go and have a lie-down on the sofa.
I do like a nice big comfy sofa,but it must be firmly filled and nicely upholstered.
Should I replace my old sofa, it is getting rather old and tired? The loose covers are fading and don't fit well, and the stuffing is not what it was.

Who am I to talk about anyone else have nothing better to do?
