I bought a sofa online and it is, frustratingly, one inch too short.
I find the Campaign Living concept: https://www.campaignliving.com/products/the-sofa?variant=416... to be an interesting one, however.

EDIT: I'm a fool, and sofas aren't beds.
Cheap furniture goes to hell fast if anyone over ~250lb is sitting on it regularly. Or sometimes for no discernible reason at all. Our experience has been that unless you're buying furniture that puts its high durability right there in the marketing, you may as well buy Ikea, which despite its reputation for being fragile will last at least as long as other cheap (but still more expensive, and often less tasteful) furniture.
The kids like to stand on the arm rests and jump off. We very quickly learned that the entire structure of each arm rest was just a cardboard box, and they both promptly crushed, and now we have deformed, squishy arm rests.
If those steel frame Campaign Living couches actually hold up, they're a good deal at ~$1200. That ugly-ass bulky $800 Ashley Furniture couch with all the faux engraved wood and crap from the furniture store stands a real chance of breaking in short order under very ordinary and careful use, let alone anything extreme. They're garbage. One of several cases in which I think our standard of living gains the last couple decades are kind of fake, disguising lots of things actually getting much crappier as they get less expensive. Though some others, to be sure, have improved—cars, notably, and computers for the most part.
