We've all seen (and been scared by) the Friends episode where Ross screams "pivot" as the group tries to squeeze a much-too-large sofa up a narrow apartment block stairwell. Perhaps you've even been there yourself. As someone who has lived in a four-story walk-up, I can relate to the feeling of wanting to rip a sofa in half to make it fit... if only I'd known about the 'boneless couch'.
What's a boneless couch, you ask? I know, the concept is slightly confusing. Basically, it's a couch that's all stuffing and foam, with no internal frame or structure that might limit the spaces it can squeeze into. Boneless couches don't just come flat-packed; they come decompressed into the smallest possible form, and 'inflate' upon opening.
