RE: pillows on sofas

I move the pillows if it's family or a good friend. If it's at an acquaintances home, I sit on the edge.

Never sit on the pillows in case Great Aunt Gertrude wove the fabric from her favorite poodle, Fido.

:)

If possible, I move them aside. I don't do this with my sofa. I want people to be comfortable in my home sitting on my sofa.

It's #1, you move most pillows off the couch. Almost all are for looks.

My guests (and husband) move the cushions out of the way. I am quite a bit shorter than most people and find I need the cushions behind me so that my back is supported and my feet can touch the floor. Too many cushions (although they look great) are just plain awkward and take up a lot of seating area.

I personally rather you just move all my pillows off to the side, if you would like to lean on them that's fine... But fancy pillows aren't made for sitting on. Lol so if they are too many just sat them aside... Hope this helped!!!

Personally, if it is a deep couch, I use them behind me and thankful to have them. Otherwise, I might put them on the back of the sofa or hold them. Awkward!

Thank you Ethel, for your reply. I just don't care for it and if I don't I won't. So, I moved them and they're gone. The usual rules apply. You wouldn't put a big elephant in the middle of your room, would you? Well, if you don't like something, you don't put it there or use it. All those pretty pillows may look like a magazine picture, but they don't present comfortable seating for people. This is the rule I go by. :)

Less is more, overdoing with too many pillows is way tooooo much! Why buy the sofa, if you can't find a place to sit?
