Unlike many of my friends, I actually like firm furniture and beds. If I sleep on a soft and mushy bed, I wake up with a sore back. Guess I could blame it on my semester abroad in Taiwan where I slept on a bamboo mat for four months. Hard as a rock beds and wooden furniture are now my priorities when shopping for my home. That's when I discovered the beauty of tufted furniture! I know tufted pieces can seem really old fashioned and taken right out of Versailles, but I can imagine just getting one or two and having it look super chic with my minimalist (read: IKEA) furniture. I really like the convertible couch found over at PB Teen which doubles as a sofa and a full size bed. I also really like the velvet ottoman from Brocade Home which does triple duty as a ottoman, coffee table, and extra seating. I can imagine Goldilocks finding tufted furniture as "just right."
