Jerry's Couch vs. a Recliner: Why the Couch Wins
The recliner had a good run. Then Jerry showed up.
Round 1: How many people?
A recliner seats one person and a cup holder. A Jerry's Three-Seater seats the whole circle. Point: couch.
Round 2: Can you lie all the way down?
Recliners get you about halfway there. A Jerry's gets you all the way, all 118 inches of it. Point: couch.
Round 3: Moving parts
Recliners have levers, springs and motors, and every one of them is a thing that can break. A foam couch has no levers to snap. Point: couch.
Round 4: Getting it in the house
A recliner arrives as a heavy, awkward block. A Jerry's arrives compressed in one box. Point: couch.
Final score
Couch 4, Recliner 0. The recliner may keep the cup holder.
Jerry's couches: about 118 inches long, deep, plush high-density foam, and delivered in one box.
