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

Similar to our best deep-seated pick, it is supportive and deep enough to accommodate overnight guests or napping. We especially love how spacious the chaise is; two people can lie down, and there’s still room for our 60-pound

Along with the comfort, my teammate really likes the look of this seat, too. The cushions and seats are attached, so it keeps a tidy appearance (no pillows on the floor next to the furniture, which is a frequent issue in my own hou

Putting the footrest down, however, takes a touch more energy. We do sometimes opt to get up first and then re-set the recliner, instead of using our legs. In other words, you probably don’t want to skip leg day if you order this piece (or maybe there’s a way to replace leg day by pushing down on the footrest? Maybe consult a trainer firs

To really get a feel for the top two picks, we had them delivered and set up in our own homes, and used them regularly for weeks. We sat, slept, snacked, and snuggled on them, paying keen attention to attributes l

Just keep in mind, though, that this blanket is both oversized compared to a traditional throw and weighted. At 9.5 pounds, I find this blanket can be tricky to lift, fold, and move around. And, since the super-soft fur is a bit slick, it can slip and slide some while you’re tidying up or curling up on the co

You’ll need a hammer and a wooden block to set it up (the wood helps protect the metal from damage from the hammer). The edging is flexible (which is nice when you want to curve it around a garden bed), but we found it helpful to hold in place with our foot while adjusting slightly. It can kink a bit if you don’t bend it carefully, tho

The other version we tested, our easiest installation pick, is better for a smaller area, like around a tree. But Beuta offers a variety of options in different sizes and styles, if you like the look of faux stone or brick for your landsc

This Reclining Loveseat is currently my go-to spot in my family’s TV room. The big difference you’ll see between this piece and the above is that it’s about 15 inches shorter, it’s made with faux leather that wipes clean, and there are no center armrests, just the si

While this budget-friendly sectional sofa doesn’t have nearly as many custom configurations or upholstery choices as the others on our list, it does allow for some flexibility. When we set up the sofa, the instructions showed 15 different configurations—far more than we initially expec

One thing in particular to note is that recliners need space for both their upright and reclining positions, so you’ll want to ensure that wherever you position it has room for you to kick up your feet and to comfortably lean back—ideally, without bumping any walls or blocking any walkways. For context, the one in my home goes from 37 inches deep to 65 inches deep when it’s fully recli

However, if you don’t mind letting your faux fur look completely unrealistic, the entire world of color choices is open to you. While I like to opt for neutral blankets like gray, white, or beige so I can place them anywhere in my Home decor game online guide|https://homecolorcraft.com/ (and move them from room to room), you can color-coordinate based on your aesthe

We like that the Classic Easy-Care Jersey Sheet Set has a heavier weight. It’s like a lighter-weight blanket, and those who don’t love the feel of a flat sheet may like the thickness of this jersey opt

Another reason this blanket tops our list is its impressive weight and size. Note that it is pretty heavy (and as a result, can be tricky to fold because it almost feels like a weighted blanket), but it’s not overwhelmingly warm. It feels like a winter-worthy layer for your couch, bed, or favorite accent chair, but it’s breathable enough to be used year-round… in fact, I am guilty of wrapping up in it even on warm summer d

The Lola Blanket is a rising popular design, and I've recently come to understand why. While this blanket may look similar in texture to the Cozy Earth Double Bubble Cuddle Blanket , its textured surface is actually created by bands of elastic. This elasticated design not only gives the blanket its distinct texture, but I've found that it makes it excellent for shar

It's comfortable for sitting and napping, and features classic clean lines along with a suite of colors to suit most spaces. The seat cushions are on the firm side, but it's the perfect balance of comfort and support. The fabric is also easy to clean. A spaghetti sauce stain lifted right a

Our overall best sectional sofa after years of testing is Lovesac’s Sactional. With its endless customization options and the ability to grow, shrink, or change shape as your needs change, it's a piece you’ll invest in and find durable for years to come. However, for a budget-friendly pick best under $1,000 , we like the Ikea Ekholma Corner Sofa, which has straightforward comfort and durabil
