My friend has one and she loves it. I told her it was nice to not hurt her feelings, but its awful. She has to sit on it by keeping her legs on the coffee table to not slide out. She looks like a little crab.

I got a 1990s lazyboy at the thrift store for $30. Its damn near perfect condition, no smell. I gave it a once over with my rug cleaner. Its got all the bones and you can even use the lever to kick your legs up.

Don't support shady online dealers and trends that benefit them and not the consumer. Hit a thrift store and find yourself a forever couch. It'll be cheaper, last longer and you'll be more comfortable. Even renting a van for a day to transport it will still be cheaper than some of these boneless couch prices.

JD in recovery?

Beanbags aren't known for staying the same shape, no

Every couch is boneless if you don’t bone on it.

I have one and it’s my favorite thing ever. Just make sure you get one with a tall enough back. Pillows will not be enough. Alot of these boneless couches dont have good backs or short backs

A family member made one with an exoskeleton to hold it all together (separate foam blocks, four for the base with a firm block under a soft one for structure, raised sides and full block for the back with a tube cage to hold them all together) that lasted more than 40 years with only one reupholster.

The foam blocks were quite cheap direct from the supplier (I think they made mattresses, the back plate was an offcut but the rest were practically custom)

If you can get yourself some decent foam blocks then it could be more cost effective and long lasting to make your own using fabric to hold the shape together the way store bought ones do.

Mine has. Pretty good little couch actually, though not as soft as others. You could probably put additional cushions on top.

Im actually curious too. Moving soon and my GF wants one

You'll need to make sure that the upholstery has some degree of rigidity for structure to keep its shape. The foam itself will not be enough.

E.g. foam with only a thin cotton-like covering? Garbage, will be barely better than a beanbag.

Separated cushions will help rigidity too as they will deform and reduce the load on the main form.

Get the most dense/stiff foam possible to maintain form: you can always soften it with more cushions, you can't do opposite.

Why can't you bone on the couch?
