Heather Adams , a senior shopping editor specializing in furniture and home decor at The Spruce since 2022, is well-versed in modular and sectional sofas. She's owned multiple sectionals, including options from Crate & Barrel and IKEA, throughout her time living in apartments and houses, and she loves the versatility of the modular models offe
The filling material of your cushions will affect the couch's comfort. Look for one like the most customizable pick, the Inside Weather Modular Bondi 3-Seater Sofa , which offers a memory-foam cushion that contours to your body as you
One thing in particular to note is that recliners need space for both their upright and reclining positions, so you’ll want to ensure that wherever you position it has room for you to kick up your feet and to comfortably lean back—ideally, without bumping any walls or blocking any walkways. For context, the one in my home goes from 37 inches deep to 65 inches deep when it’s fully recli
If you like the comforting feel of a heavier or even true weighted blanket over your body, UnHide’s Marshmallow Blanket is the perfect faux fur pick. Made of recycled polyester, UnHide’s inviting blanket is designed to mimic chinchilla fur—a detail you can see in the movement and plushness of the fur fib
There's also a bit of a texture to the fabric that we've seen soften a bit over time (in a good way). The performance fabric is touted as stain-resistant, but a heads-up that the brand does recommend using a professional for deep clean
This is the option I have at my townhouse. Initially, I thought using a raised bed would limit my growing options, but this one fits six tomato plants, six pepper plants, and over eight cucumbers towards the back, which will grow up a trellis . I think this bed would look beautiful with flowers,
We researched top-rated landscape edging in a variety of materials, lengths, heights, and styles, and tested 11 in our own yards. We noted our goal in using the edging, our climate and soil type, and our overall experience in using these types of produ
Everything is attached together so the loveseat looks great all the time. The woven fabric is soft and durable enough for everyday use. Even after reclining or sitting for three hours, after I get it up, there is no sagg
Similar to detergent sheets that dissolve when met with water, laundry pods are packaged in a plastic casing made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), which is a water-soluble substance. They will dissolve when they come in contact with wa
If we had to choose one detergent pod as the best, it would be Tide Pods. These laundry detergent pods checked off all our boxes regarding cleaning effectiveness, scent, and machine compatibility. The pods even had our textiles feeling softer and fluffier during test
The more customization options available, the better, in our opinion. Modular sofas are designed for personalization and long-term flexibility, so we suggest seeking out options that meet your lifestyle and offer ways to adapt for the future, no matter how your needs might cha
We set up a line with string to ensure we created a straight line before installing the edging, which helps create a more professional look. You will need a rubber mallet to install the spikes, but no digging is required. I like that the stakes are spiral-shaped, which helps secure them in the ground. The pieces connect to each other easily, so there’s no room in between for homecolorcraft.com we
The type of outdoor potting soil you choose depends on the plants you intend to grow, but a potting mix that gets its nutrients from a variety of sources, including peat, manure, compost, and fertilizer, provides the ideal nutrients for an assortment of pla
As a note, the website says assembly takes "just a few minutes," but this took me about an hour to build (with some teamwork). There are several small bolts and nuts to keep track of, but once built, it has a sturdy frame that hasn’t moved an i
Similar to the Keter Splendor, this option has the same pop-up water level indicator and drain plug to avoid overwatering plants. It's unclear after putting it together if it’s truly self-watering, but we haven’t noticed any watering issues so
Although the sofa’s packaging was very intuitive, it took a long time to assemble just because of the sheer size of the product. Thankfully, no tools are required, but we still recommend recruiting some h
After setting up the sofa, we even moved around its components (particularly the seat turned into an ottoman), which was especially useful in a household with kids, as we could create forts, add space for daytime couch naps, and fit the whole family and guests with e
Keep in mind that most faux fur blankets are made in solid colors. Blankets that are designed to mimic real fur are more likely to feature patterns, but it’s otherwise pretty rare to find a faux design that’s striped, spotted, or otherwise colored with multiple h
