Depending on how you like to lounge, the lack of center armrests could be a pro or a con. For me personally, who will gladly snuggle with any member of my household at any time of day, it’s a huge perk. I’ve also taken to sprawling across both seats and pretending it’s a chaise (which would probably make the designers of this loveseat cringe, but what they don’t know won’t hurt th

I’m Dena Ogden , an associate editor who’s been testing products, writing, and editing for The Spruce since 2022. As someone who works from home in the Pacific Northwest, I have very strong opinions about comfort and coziness, so testing a reclining loveseat was a labor of l

Daniela added this edging on the side of her house with plants and mulch. She’s also testing another faux-stone edging from Beaux, our easiest installation pick. She liked the size and shape of this one—it's better for a large a

Based on our testing, the Lasko FH500 Fan & Space Heater Combo Tower is our favorite combination fan heater. Tall and powerful while also relatively quiet, this fan oscillates to circulate cold air throughout the room and has a ceramic heater/fan mode to help move hot air as well. If you want a combo unit with an air purifier, our best runner-up, overall , the BlueAir Comfort Pure 3 in 1, is an excellent option and will deliver fresh air as it heats or cools your sp

Jennifer used this landscape edging to create a "centerpiece" in her yard. She was hoping it would help control weeds, especially poison ivy . The border was easy to place (and clean) around a small garden area with an arbor. Although it isn’t as sturdy as other options, she hasn’t had any damage from her dogs running through the a

"For wear and tear, I always like to recommend performance fabrics," says interior designer Andi Morse . "Leather is also always a great option that looks good and lasts a lifetime." Several of the options on our list, including our most customizable pick, the Inside Weather Modular Bondi 3-Seater Sofa , are available in leat

Over time, we like how well this blanket handles everyday wear and tear. It stays fluffy even with plenty of lounging (from both people and pets!), and it washes beautifully. While it’s common for faux fur blankets to shed some of their fuzzy fibers, we’ve experienced far less shedding with this blanket than with the others on our l

The "air blanket" or horizontal mode of this heater is what really makes it stand out, especially for bedrooms (we love it for keeping cool at night). However, it takes up a lot of room in this mode. You can always keep it in the vertical mode when not in use, so it's not in the

You may have noticed our list skews higher in price, and that's actually for a good reason. I've used faux fur blankets across the price spectrum, and I've learned that cheaper designs are more likely to wind up matting and developing obvious w

For some, a realistic-looking or true fur-inspired pattern and color choices will be the preferred choice. If you’re hoping for a faux fur blanket that looks authentic, this is the best route. Fortunately, numerous options are designed to mimic the fur hues and patterns. Our most realistic option is a stand-out for this rea

The Simpli Home color matching game guide|https://homecolorcraft.com/ Morrison Leather Sectional changed our minds about how comfortable a leather sofa can initially feel. The back cushions on this sectional require no break-in period. It's nap-ready as soon as you assemble, and it has stayed comfortable even after a y

After a month of testing, my fellow editor calls Cozy Earth’s Channel Cuddle Blanket "by far one of the nicest, coziest, heaviest blankets I’ve ever used." While we love Cozy Earth’s take on faux fur blankets (after all, our overall best pick is also from the brand), this one particularly wowed us with its gorgeous texture and high-end sh

Aside from digging the trench, I just needed to add the stakes, which are made of thick plastic, and then clip them onto the border to keep it in place. I couldn’t find my rubber mallet, so I used a nearby brick to press them into the soil (I scuffed the stake in the process, so I recommend using a mallet instead). The soil was rocky, but it still wasn’t too hard to get the stakes

I use stones around my garden where I can, because I love the natural-looking border they create. A faux-stone border is a great alternative, though, because they are lighter and easier to maintain. We love the Beuta Faux Stones because they really do look like stone (we have them next to a real stone border, and you almost can’t tell the difference), and they are a great size, so they create just as dramatic of a border as the real th

To trigger the recline mechanism and sit on it like you’re supposed to ( ahem ), there’s a small latch just underneath the side armrests, on the outsides of the recliner. It takes very little effort to release the recliner, but once the footrest slides out, I usually have to shift my weight to encourage it to extend the last few inc
