Furniture

After buying our rig last January we have been very unhappy with both the recliners and the sofa. Neither are very comfortable. What advice can y'll give and where would I look for replacements.
Regards

We ordered out 3800 with fabric and it came with leather, hard as a rock, made them change it out. Some of the leather furniture is softer not sure what you have...............Ron

We have cloth on both. The sofa is a fold out with the inflatable mattress.

Got rid of the sofa and the recliners that came with the unit and replaced with leather recliners. Did not replace the sofa, and haven't had a real need for it at all.

There are several furniture retailers that specialize in RV size furniture. Almost always have boothes at RV shows. Web search shows several. We bought leather recliners from a regular furniture store made by flexsteel that fit our last two units just fine.

We took the couch and both recliners out and added a very large cat cage and a small desk. Even after that we had room for a small Lazy Boy for Joyce and a large Lazy Boy for me. Now we both fit in comfortable chairs, the cats have a three story combo and Joyce has a place to work on her art work while I use the built in desk as a desk. It's your home, you have to think outside the box and make it your home.

Measure your furniture, go furniture shopping with a tape in hand and go for it. Depending upon the unit you have many of the sofa, chairs and dining sets can be moved around to fit in each others place. We've moved the dining table to the back of the unit, removed one of the reclines and slid the sofa down where the dining table was. Works great for us and actually gives us more room!

Check the link below. We just replaced our recliners with this style in the lazy boy brand. Easier to move around and pretty comfortable.

We just bought a new to us Montana 3750fl and it has the air mattress in the couch for a sleeper unit. The seams have pulled out and it now has a very large and uncomfortable bulge in the middle of it. I would like to contact the manufacture and see if he will replace it. Does anyone have that information? I can't find it on the information that came with it. Tanks!

We replaced furniture (sofa & two chairs) in our previous SOB rig - IKEA, for us, was the way to go - the furniture they sell is meant for smaller spaces.

Took out the monster sofa and replaced it with a futon today. Good size for the grand kids to sleep on. Now I have to find a Lazy Boy for big dog. Wife now happy ... big dog now happy.

Lambright Furniture : Address: 1150 S 700 W City: Topeka State: IN Zip: 46571
Phone: (260) 768-4820 We bought two recliners from Lambright- direct from the factory. We love them. Very solid and somewhat less money than the other brands. They take a little time to return phone calls. The factory is all Amish and I think only the owner calls back. We visited them twice and would definitely buy from them again. We got wall huggers. If you are interested I can send a picture of the two chairs in our 3400RL by PM. Maybe I can learn how to post pictures, but unless there is a lot of interest it's easier for me to send a few pictures.

We replace the sofa with a single daybed. Not the best for sitting on, but our adult son is often with us and at least he will get a good nights sleep!

We replaced the recliners with a pair of Lane recliners. Then had the sofa reupholstered. Was no more expensive than buying a new one, and a better end product. Didn't want to loose the bottom drawer or the air mattress. Works for us!
