I read design oriented magazines. I also drool at the incredibly original furniture featured on those design magazines. But have you actually sat down on some of the "designer" sofas? It feels like you are lying down on a steel plate with sharp needles. And let me tell you, I have no tolerance for discomfort.

Why the long winded introduction? Well, in my recent search for a sofa for the entertainment room, I found a really nice living room furniture set at American Signature Furniture store. The Marlton Stone sofa features low profile arms and espresso-colored legs, and a nice beige tone gives it an authentic contemporary look. The sofa is gracefully covered in extremely easy to maintain and durable micro fiber.

The best feature however is comfort. The loose back pillows melt under the presence of your back and the low profile arms make it very easy to stretch your legs across them. I don't know if you can associate with this feeling, but I love throwing myself on a sofa and feeling completely relaxed after only a couple of minutes.

The sofa retails for $599.99 and back pains are not included.
