The difference between the two is essentially that one is firmer than the other. When ordering a custom sofa from Benchmade Modern, you’re given a choice for cushion fill between foam and fiber and foam and trillium. To be perfectly honest, my old couch and my new one have very similar builds, so it wasn’t a challenge to picture how it would look, and with only a 2” difference between them, I knew it would be a great fit. My old couch was still in my apartment at the time, but thanks to its wide silhouette, I was able to lay the paper print on top of it and see how the new sofa would look. The printout was rolled and delivered in a tube, and all I had to do was roll it out where it was going to go. My previous sofa was 93” so upping the couch to 95” wasn’t much of a leap, but better safe than sorry. I knew I wanted it to be on the longer side, but I still had to be mindful of the space I actually had to use. For instance, the OG Couch Potato can be as small as 65” and as wide as 100”. Whether you have a small or large room, Benchmade Modern gives you the power to chose the length of your sofa, so that you can size it to fit your home. The next step was receiving the real-size-and free-printout of my chosen piece of furniture to ensure that it would fit in my space. The swatches are separated not only by type but also by colors and neutrals, which simplified the selection process, because I could easily rule out specific materials, shades, and weaves before looking into smaller details like the rub count and finish. In addition to polyester, the multitude of options in the Swatch Kit included premium velvet, leather, and polyester blends with cotton, nylon, viscose (bamboo), and more. I ended up going with Glee Dreamer, a dark teal 100-percent polyester fabric with a rub count of 100,000. I wanted to be able to brush off the fur without a fuss, and thanks to the swatches, I was able to see exactly which materials would work best. The dogs aren’t allowed on the couch (way too much shedding), but they still inadvertently rub against it and flyaway fur is pretty much unavoidable. The higher the number, the more durable it would be, which meant it would be a better fit for my two-dog home. For me, the rub count was most important factor, because it would inform me about which fabrics were good for pets.
