the truth about the TEDDY SOFA | an honest review

[@_milkysoup]

Have I considered buying this sofa? No. Have I seen this sofa before? No. Did I thoroughly enjoy this review? YES

[@abetweene]

😁

[@yourshitsweakx100]

Same 😂

[@beelzemobabbity]

I think the fact that upon people telling them about a problem they were having, the company reached out to send people things to fix it, that alone gives me a good impression of the company at least

[@sablemuse]

Pinterest has been showing me this sofa for months! I appreciate the review. I could see this working really well in a guest room/office. Most sofa beds are butt ugly.

[@abetweene]

lol pinterest is a whole stalker. guest/office room would be perfect indeed!

[@MaxineShaw_84]

The viral "Black woman/green couch" tweet immediately made me think of you lol Imagine if all reviews were this thorough 😃 Thanks!

[@abetweene]

wait, now u gotta send me the tweet cause i dont have X and have no clue 😅 is it a theory?!

[@MaxineShaw_84]

😂 Neither do I, but a post on IG had all the replies lol I'll DM the original vid there.

[@purpleplumtrinkets]

Woooo ! This is me rn frfr ! I'm getting ready to move so I'm weighing my furniture options 😅 what color , size , flexibility, movability. I have probably less than 30 days and the Gemini's are in full affect 😩 at this rate I'm going in with just clothes,bed and dishes 😅

[@abetweene]

embrace the empty house. building from nothing is so fun!

[@purpleplumtrinkets]

@@abetweene thanks! Honestly I think it's me trying to shop on line for furniture , which I've never done.

[@soshio_]

this is so helpful. there really isn't any reviews out there despite relentless marketing on instagram. i've been eyeing this sofa for almost a year now, but the chrome bars moving is definitely a deal breaker for me.

[@abetweene]

right?! i was like, how is there literally none 🧐

[@anapaulalopezoliveros4346]

This video is the definition of a good review. I loved it and loved the way you don't recommend the sofa, literally, you made us think if it is suitable for ourselves or not. 💛

[@TheReverenceProject]

Took matters into my own hands when I realized there was a showroom where it’s displayed where I live. It wasn’t at all what I personally looked for in a sofa (which made me so sad because I loved the way it looked). Not comfortable enough for enjoying a two hour movie painlessly. Thanks for thorough review, that’s what I needed back then!

[@abetweene]

yw!

[@santiagog5928]

This is one of the best product reviews I’ve ever seen. Not only was the video structured well but you relied on facts rather than your subjective opinion of the couch. Super informative 👏👏👏

[@abetweene]

Awww thank you ☺️

I have been eyeing this couch for the past year on Pinterest and did not want to risk it because of lack of reviews. Thank you for this!!!

very interested in the update bc the bars sliding is a deal breaker... but if they fixed it I would love to get it for my dream home

[@rellville8693]

Thank you so much for this review. I was really considering getting this couch for when I move, however I feel like it's a little to low to the ground for me as a couch but it might work great for a bed on top of a platform

$2500 for cheap fabric, plastic hardware, mandrel bent steel, and a naked piece of foam…. disgusting and everything that’s wrong with furniture.

[@gavriloking5637]

probably cost less than $250 to make which is what it's price should be and if it was, would probably sell like hotcakes

[@neko0my0cat]

​@@gavriloking5637 i don't think furniture or any item should cost as much as the materials it's made out off sinds people still had to make the item but unless all the workers making this couch had some extremely good wages it's overpriced as hell

[@anoukk_]

@@neko0my0cat I agree with that but I would want some guarantee that the production was done ethically

[@dreamseemstudio7545]

I didn't know about this couch and it now feels like it's exactly what I've been looking for, honestly. Thanks for the review! It's very objective indeed and very honest:) Can't have enough of that in our contemporary world! By the way, the price of this is generally the same as the one that looks like that in IKEA and another I found on KAVE home - all of them are very similar, but this one is the only one that actually unfolds fully.

[@abetweene]

youre most welcome!

Thank you sooo much for the review! Its been so hard to find one online. The way i really love the lounge/relaxed vibe that it gives, i literally got it customized with a local welder/carpenter because i can't get it shipped to Rwanda. I like that you talked about the metal bars, and I'm wondering if it would make sense (since I'm basically getting it done from scratch) to put another metal bar underneath the mattress at the bottom to connect the others, to avoid each sliding off! Either way, looking forward to getting it delivered :) Thanks again!

[@abetweene]

thats awesome that u have a local welder to customize it for you! I would definitely consult with them to see what improvements might be most helpful. What color are you making?

Literally out here doing the lord's work! Thank you SO much. Do you think it's comfortable to use as a daily bed at night? I have a tiny apartment and am looking to double-dip, have you slept on it at all?

[@abetweene]

i find it comfortable & have taken a nap on it but need to juxtapose the firmness with my bed which is pretty soft for the sake of my back (extra firm doesnt help my spine alignment) but cold foam is used for a lot of mattresses on the market, so im sure it would suffice just depends how much support or softness you need or want.

[@BrittlynnMHall]

Wow, you’re so smart and thorough.

[@abetweene]

😘

[@jeremiahrandle3043]

Really glad I came across this video. Really wanted to see a review not on their instagram and you didn’t disappoint at all

[@ladyj.9350]

I recommend getting a memory foam mattress topper if you’re using it as a bed. Its pretty affordable and makes a big difference

[@aplbep]

I got this sofá back in march and honestly kinda regret it. The mattresses are not comfortable and they’re stretching in the middle like I can see with yours (the top mattress is rounded on the front side). It’s super expensive and I would’ve bought a sofa in ikea for half the price honestly. Or pay the same (2100 euros in Spain with the shipping) for another sofa from a better brand

[@abetweene]

thanks for sharing your experience

[@kukka1234]

this video is everything: informative, aesthetically pleasing and beautifully edited 🥰🥰 do you need to air out the mattresses (similarly to futons) as they sit so close to the floor without any legs?

[@abetweene]

thanks so much! i really struggled to edit it so im glad its well received 😌 i wouldnt say it needs airing out, but im sure the time theyre left sitting while washing the slip covers is enough however often you choose to do so.

[@KAW1239]

Yesssssss! I have been waiting for this review. I really appreciate how thorough you were.

[@abetweene]

[@audreym9001]

Do you know if it’s mold proof? I’m a bit worried about the lower matress being that close to the floor and am too lazy to lean it against the wall to breathe.

[@crisfer22]

That's a very good point! Especially if you have tile floors

[@abetweene]

i havent had any but cant say for certain if its mold-proof. id suggest emailing the manufacturer directly for a definitive answer.

I have a “floor couch” which is what I call the full sized mattress on the floor of my living room. It has a giant wedge pillow along the long side for back support against the wall, and a bunch of pillows. I love it! This is basically an elevated version, it catches my interest.

[@Noon-jt7gi]

I've also seen relentless ads for this sofa I quite like. HOWEVER. My concern is mold/mildew underneath, like I've seen a lot of futons and mattresses on the floor suffer from. I'm too lazy to be airing things out all the time. But putting it on a base is even more money. Maybe its made for drier climates. I used to have a 80s hand me down fold out foam sofa bed that I guess was kind of similar (we had it on a base most of the time when it was a sofa) Incredibly comfy, just ugly. But the two mattresses were joined together with velcro, as they'd kind of scoot apart in the night and you'd fall down the gap.

[@KateF-y8u]

For that price i can get 2 matresses, big pillows, fabric, foam, a seamstress to sew all together and have enough money left for a rug, coffee table, bedside tables, more pillows and a blanket

[@ahoyhere8113]

Great review, so thorough! I’m not buying this sofa since I actually have its vintage ancestor, by De Sede (alas I got mine when they were unwanted and inexpensive at auction and now they’re $$$$). It has a very similar design but the cushions are sewn together and fold out, and each section is twin-sized. Really solves the design issues you highlight but the open form is not intended to be left that way, the undersides have different fabric. Win some, lose some? Question: I LOVE your wall bookcase, who makes it? It’s so sleek.

[@abetweene]

thanks for sharing that designer. its interesting seeing the original references! the shelves are the ikea boaxel system.

[@fntngy]

My gf and I really like this couch but its just a lil over our budget so we’re trying to diy it a lil and just buying the covers instead of the whole thing.. is there any way you could maybe show the inside of the cushions??

[@alejandrovasquezrodriguez33]

If a pet does have an accident on it would the mattress itself be safe to a wet vacuum or how would you recommend going about that?

[@abetweene]

id still launder the slipcover in the washing machine and use a handheld carpet cleaner suitable for upholstery.

1600 euro for 2 cheap mattresses some pillows a cover and a few bent metal bars is actually crazy. Better hope the factory workers are paid a decent wage. Okay they do have some certificates but I don't know how credible they are and where they draw the line.

[@wearesatellites91]

The fact that you can’t actually lean back on this couch is ridiculous. It’s two mattresses stacked on top of each other with some big pillows- there’s no structure for you to actually sit on it properly with your back resting!

Hey thank you so much for this review, my only question is does it still spill over the top and has that had any long term impact on the shape?

[@msjmedia1224]

Corduroy is a nightmare to clean, and is a big nono if you have any pets.

as mentioned, this isnt a true corduroy. Corduroy is quite heavy in weight and traditionally made of cotton, while this is not. its similar to say a velour tracksuit.

It was fine, but i cant sleep on it exclusively for more than a few days at a time because extra firm just isnt the appropriate type for my alignment and back issues; its too much support. I prefer somewhere in between soft and firm. So it really depends on what firmness u find comfortable.
