Good Questions: Are Home Reserve Sofas Decent?
Hello AT,
I'm trying to do some research (unsucessful so far) in finding out the real deal with Home Reserve sofas. The only feedback I can find is on the Home Reserve website, where everyone claims they are amazing. I'm not fully buying it but they are cheap as hell! Do know anyone that's tried them out?
Thanks, Matt
Dear Matt, Thanks so much for pointing this out to us! This has got to be seen to be believed.
While this is not the quality of sofa we would spring for these days, Home Reserve sofas and chairs would be great for a college student as they pack flat and ARE ASSEMBLED by you. Take a look at the pics. If you have bought these before, please give Matt a review. MGR

I can't imagine that these are comfortable at all... the ottoman is a good deal though!
I've lived here for fifteen years and have repeatedly made the cardinal mistake--not buying the very best the first time. Now my apartment looks run down and the lack of quality shows. It's depressing at best.
There is an adage-- "Cheap things cost more in the long run." Methinks I'll replace things one by one, with quality pieces, as my budget allows.
I agree w/ buying quality, but at the same time say you are moving into a rental- the sofas and loveseats offered here are cheap, and you wouldn't need to use a "break-down" service, they cost almost the same as the break-down service. This is definitely filling a niche- they don't look that bad, you can choose your fabric- it's definitely a great idea for some people at a specific point in their lives. A long-term investment no, but a great solution for perhaps 1-3 years. At that cost you have no problem "letting go" of a piece of furniture when you leave an apartment. Also the built-in storage is definitely a huge plus in NYC apartments. I bought the loveseat in my apartment from the previous tenant, because she had to have it "put together" to have it brought into the apt- I didn't want to go through that myself, so I gave her 225 for it- I would have much rather picked out something on my own for 229, and had the storage space and then tossed it after 3 years. you do get what you pay for, but sometimes 20-somethings can't afford all that much in the first place.
My mom, bless her heart, always said, "buy cheap, buy twice." Unfortunately, I have not always heeded her advice.
But after looking at their website, I have to say - these pieces are fuuuuugly. I'd rather buy the cheapest sofa at Ikea, or sit on chushions on the floor.
I just bought one of there sofas. I have three kids (4,5,6)who have managed to stain, rip or throw up on every sofas we have owned for the last 7 years. Pros - quick delivery, easy to get through doors (or up a tight walk-up), incredibly easy to assembele (did it myself in 2 hours)and I am all thumbs, the fabric is nice, and some storage in the bottom (again, great for us NYers), and you can replace the fabric easily and better looking than a slipcover. Cons- the bottom cushions are a bit too firm (but hopefully thy will loosen up), there were a few splinters,
though sturdy the construction under the cushions is rough and bare bones. It's a great couch for people on a budget, with lots of roommates or with lots of messy children who think sofas are napkins.
I'm with Home Reserve. For $299 people are expecting trash...then when they get it and its "good stuff" that's why they send all those good comments on the web site. Contact me and we'll send you a chair. Then you can make your own judgement.

I recently came across this place and bought a loveseat and ottoman. Its for a pool room, and I ended up paying so much for the pool table and bar I needed some cheap seating. For the money I spent I am impressed and happy 10 folds. I have gotten alot of compliments on the microfiber for how soft it is, most people mistake it for suede. The cushions are firm, but its because there are no springs. I have only told a few people the price, and after I did 2 of my buddies have purchased couches. Its been a few months and I love them. Hopefully, everything will look as good in a few years.
We bought a sofa from home reserve about 6 months ago. Unfortunatly our puppy chewed a hole in our first sofa and we had to buy cheap the second time. However, it is very comfortable, looks decent and gets the job done. at least until we have a little more cash.
I just bought a chair and ottoman from Home Reserve. I'll say that they are much nicer-looking and comfortable than any of my previous 'cheap' furniture (futons and Craig's List bargains), and the boxes fit up the narrow stairs to my 3rd floor apartment.
It was also easier to put together than the Ikea furniture I bought.
All in all, not bad. I think the fabric looks great.
I purchased a love seat for a small guest room with limited space...put it together simply and it worked out real well...I think the quality for the price are geniune...and I am considering sofas for my basement recreation area only because I have a stairway leading to the basement that will not allow a full sofa because of the drop between the ceiling and the staircase...there just is not enough room to pull it through....it suits the purpose. I would not use this furniture in my main living room because it does not offer the same comforts. I would consider Home Reserve furniture a good choice for convenience and budget.
Hope you enjoy it
Hello homereserve couch owners! I am so tempted to buy a set of these couches since I just need a couch set for only a few years for school and these seem really affordable. I've had the hardest time trying to find reviews not based from the homereserve website, and was lucky to find this page. There seem to be a lot of "cushions are too firm" comments. Can anyone tell me if the feeling is equivalent to sitting on a folded blanket over a hard surface? If it's too firm to sleep on comfortably I would like to know. Also, those who have purchased homereserve couches, how do you think they compare in quality to say like a JC Penny furniture outlet. (There is one close to where I am going to live and I have actually had the chance to sit on a few couches there, and if its only like 20 -30 dollars more I might as well get a couch I know is comfy..)Also, has anyone ever returned a couch from there because it wasn't what they were looking for? If so, is the process fairly easy? My friend(who is also thinking of purchasing a set of these couches) and I would appreciate as much feedback as possible for these couches! Thanks!!
I've bought a couch from home reserve about six months ago. It looks really cool (similar to one on Will and Grace) but it's very uncomfortable. The cushions became very thin and almost imposible to sit on.
Did the couch have any excessive use, or did it just naturally flatten out? Also- when I look at the homereserve pictures again, the couches look small! Are they comfortable (height wise) to sit on? Or is it almost like those weird dorm air blown furniture?? I still haven't bought one yet, but my older brother lives in SF in an apartment with no elevators! So I'm still considering getting one for him.
My girlfriend recently purchased a homereserve sofa and so far it is great. I thought the cushions were a little too firm at first, but they get better fast. We recently had a friend in town sleeping on it and he loved it. As for the comments about "buy cheap, buy twice" and so on, that's great advice but most 20-somethings just getting their first real apartment can't afford to drop several thousand dollars to furnish an apartment. There is clearly a need for cheap furniture not intended to last a lifetime, and homereserve is the best I have seen in that area.
It's important to remember what you're buying and why. I own a Home Reserve Sofa and have for over 3 years. It is in my office and covered with the microfiber. Most of my friends think it's some kind of suede. This furnature is made of fiberboard and it "locks" togather to form the sofa "frame". My cushions are firm but soft if that makes sense. I have to remove the back cushions to sleep comfortably on it but it is comfortable. Bottom line, I bought a sofa 5 years ago from a "notable" furniture store and it stained and wore out in 2 years....it cost around 700.00 My 300.00 Home Reserve sofa is going strong and not showing any signs of excessive wear. I'm happy with my purchase.
I have a loveseat from HomeReserve for a over a year...I have a fabric called "pet care" which feels like suede but resists stains(fyi, it works great). The loveseat is "small scale" not huge or bulky, perfect for small spaces. The seating is not deep - little on the shallow side. It is comfortable and has not worn out or frame become wobbly. I love the fact I can change fabrics, buy new foam for the cushions and buy different arms to give it a new look. The storage space is great as well.
I have visited the Home Reserve website numerous times in an attempt to make a final decision on whether to purchase the sectionals. I expect to move from an apartment to a huge co-op in three-four years, which is why I am thinking this purchase would be perfect; sort of like disposable furniture. However, I love to entertain and still need to maintain comfortable/great seating for my family and friends until I move. Any feedback from anyone about their sectionals? please help/Thanks a lot
Hi Matt,
Epinions has a review that's not so favorable regarding the home reserve sofas. Also from what I can tell from the review, they do not post negative comments about themselves, even though they claim they do. I was going to buy sofa from them, but I too have children, and decided against it.

We bought the sofa, chair and ottoman and had them as our living room furniture in our last rental house for one year. Now we have purchased a home and nice leather furniture for our living room. The Home Reserve furniture is dis-assembled in our basement, not taking up too much room. I am considering putting two of the pieces in our three-season room/back porch until I have the cash to buy nice furniture for that room. Pros: affordable, disposible/easily dis-assembled/easy to move, decent fabric, easy to assemble, and you don't worry if the pets try to mess it up. Cons: the actual seating area is too small (I'm 5'5 and even I felt like I was being pushed forward off the seat, let alone my husband who is 6'0), and it isn't as convenient as it sounds to have to remove the cushions and lift up the wooden door to use the storage area. Also, like someone else said, if you want to sleep on it you pretty much have to remove the back cushion or you don't fit on the sofa. I will keep the furniture while we live in this house, but it will be thrown away rather than moved to our next house in about 5 years. Hope this helped!
I too have been looking into getting Home Reserve furniture. I am up in that air about that. In there defense however, I was just at their website and some of their reviews do have comments that state some parts were missing on initial delivery or that some people had trouble putting it together. So, they do put some unfavorable comments on their website.
Anyway, I am assuming you get what you pay for, so it will be something you can live with for a few years and not feel guilty throwing away. If you are looking for $700 quality sofa, then this is probably not going to be what you're expecting.
I love my home reserve love seat. I have two teens, two dogs and a cat, and can change the upholestry every year for very little money. The kids love to lie on it, it is very comfy. Also I can take it apart and move it around the house by myself (I am a single mom). The storage is also great. It isn't the ritz, but a good value for an all purpose sofa you don't need to worry about ruining.
Two years ago, we purchased a home reserve chair and ottoman for our daughter's college apartment. It was perfect for the small space. (My 12 year old put the chair together - it's simple!) Now our son is moving to an apartment and we just ordered a new cover. This chair is perfect for college students who don't seem to be too concerned about caring for their valuables. It doesn't take up too much space, For the price, the comfort is not so bad. I'm hoping it will last through my next child's college experience, too.
About 2 months ago i purchased 4 pieces from Home Reserve to form a sectional configured as 1 3 seating.
My purchase was for an apt I purchased that I will live in about a year while my new place is built. At that time i will sell the apt and toss the sectional or convert it to rental property.
I was attracted to Home Reserve because it is not a full size piece of furniture. It requires less space than a futon and looks alot better, although is it not as contemporary as I would like.
Assembly was easy, although i reinforced the corners with metal corner braces $4.99 at my local hardware store.
Contrary to other comments, i find the cushions too soft. As a result, If i do not sit properly, e.g., forward on the cushion, sideways, etc. the cushion presses down against the wood and is then hard. (FYI, i am 6"1" and 185 lbs which i would consider pretty average).
Is this cheap furniture, no question. But given the price and purpose i think it is a fantastic value. To use a car analogy: Most every one would consider a Lexus to be high quality, but not everyone can afford a Lexus, Toyota offers a Corolla at a fraction of the cost and the quality is not the same as the Lexus, but I think most people would consider it a good value. Same goes here.
I've just purchased a Home Reserve Sofa for my new Townhome, and let me just tell you that for $426 (which includes a $57 shipping charge via UPS)-- I have made the best buy-- whether in person or online that I have ever made in my life!
I've researched and looked at hundreds of sofas online and in person. As a single parent, and purchasing my first home-- I just don't have a couple of thousand of dollars to purchase the sofas I want from Crate and Barrel, Room and Board, Pottery Barn or other stores-- and for four month-- I've had no sofa in my living room due to the insanely high costs of these sofas. So when looking at HGTV one evening-- they had used HR furniture which included much needed storage-- and I looked up their website, viewed the various options, read the comments, and ordered fabric samples.
They have a new "contemporary" version called, "Brooklyn", which is what I ordered. They told me it would be 10 business days to receive it, but it took less than a week for me, as I'm located much closer to their headquarters.
The sofa came in two boxes via UPS which fit easily through my front door, and only took me and my teenage daughter 2 hours to put together, and that was because we took a break to eat. Needless to say-- I am totally amazed at the quality and look of the sofa!! It is GORGEOUS and more comfortable than I'd imagined!! The sofa is not "cheesy" in any form of the definition-- the fabric is "top grade", and the storage is most welcome as I now have somewhere to put my videos and CD's without them being piled up next to the TV and stand.
If I tire of the fabric-- I can order a new fabric without having to purchase an entire new sofa. If I wish to somehow change the look of the sofa-- I can order new arms, etc., instead of ordering an entire new sofa. Their Customer Service is unparalled!!
Friends and family cannot believe that this sofa came in two boxes and was put together in 2 hours, and they cannot believe the quality which is definitely much cheaper and better than Ikea!!
Sure, I would have rather had the Room and Board $3500 sofa-- but I just can't afford it. Home Reserve offers good quality furniture at a great value.
Oops. Correction to my comment-- The quality of the fabric is not "cheaper" than Ikea.. It is better. The cost of the sofa is "cheaper" than an Ikea sofa...
Greetings, I bought a Home Reserve love seat just over a year ago. I was moving from a large farm to a smaller house in town. I have cats, too many. They came with me and became house pets. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on something that would become a extra large stratching post. I chose a microfiber and it hasn't snagged at all. I also have a dog and a few messy friends. It cleans up easily, no spots or stains. And because of a back injury last year, I spent a lot of nights sleeping sitting up on that couch. I was very comfortable. I'm almost done re-doing the inside of my home and plan on buying a sofa from them next.
I actually bought a USED homereserve sofa off craigslist a year ago. i just needed a quick-fix sofa for my new studio and the ability for me and my friend to move it in 1 cab ride was beyond convenient.
I washed all the covers so they were like new and put the whole puzzle-piece sofa together in barely any time. it was actually very fun and satisfying to do.
The back cushions are very thick and soft. the arm and seat cushions feel like memory foam -- firm but very giving. in fact, my back enjoys sleeping on it more than my $1000 mattress.
The sofa is very comfortable but i have to say the seat is too shallow -- there is no couple cuddling on this sofa. but now i'm coming back to homereserve to purchase an ottoman to create more sofa 'space' and am also considering changing my fabric covers for a new look and also because.... i just can (and for only $109).
I am considering getting a Home Reserve sectional, but I am concerned about how firm/not firm the cushions are. I'm sure I would be fine sitting on the sectional, but my husband is 6'4" and weighs about 220 lbs. Is he eventually, if not right away, going to be feeling the hard wood beneath the cushion when he sits? Also, I read some comments about the shallowness of the sofas. Has anybody else had experiences in which you feel like you are being pushed forward in your Home Reserve couch/chair/sectional? Overall, I'm not concerned about the cushions being too firm (they'll soften over time) or about what the fabric looks like. I just need it to be affordable, functional, and comfortable.
I have been looking at the Home Reserve website for awhile now. I am absolutely enthralled with their Laney chair and a half as well as the sectionals. My husband and I live in a 3rd floor apartment with very narrow staircases.. so the only furniture that we have is a very old loveseat that we've inherited. It's a small room, so a futon wouldn't work well for us, and that's not really the look I want to go for.
We are both larger individuals and I'm wondering how well the Home Reserve furniture would hold up. There's not many negative comments about them. Because of that, I think I'm more skeptical than I would be otherwise.
I just bought a home reserve sofa. here are the pros and cons
1) the sofa is not as small as everyone thinks. they are a decent height esp for modern furniture.
2) the cushions although really firm when they arrive soften out in about one or two days of sitting on them for like 20 mins at a time or more. they are really comfortable.
3) they are as you know inexpensive or cheap if you want to call them that
4) they come in really nice fabric. not cheap fabric, but nice and really trendy and colorful fabric or if you want something dull you can get something dull, they have that too
5) in case of messes they are easy to clean etc
6) they are spacious lenghtwise.
7) the storage area is really neat.
1) they are not spacious butt-wise. as in sometimes it does feel as if you are being pushed off the seat. they say you should pull out the bottom cushion but then that feels uncomfortable for your back in that it feels as if you are going to fall backward into the sofa
2)I got the laney style sofa and it took me 2 hours to get the arms screwed on. I also fear the arm could come off. because the screws only go on at the bottom and there is a gap showing in the back
3) the feel of the sofa is that it may not stand the test of time.
Please take my assessment with a grain of salt. I did not get the fabric I wanted and am upset at the sofa because the color is not what I wanted when it arrived. I couldnt change the fabric because lo and behold my son spilled juice on it and I could not in good conscience return the fabric.
The sofa is ok for the price. if it had cost more than that maybe not.
I think its a good buy for starting-out people. But I am not happy due to reasons I gave above.
Here's the thing about home reserve and my experience with them. I got a couch (monroe style) from them about 2 years ago with the pet care fabric. I can say that that fabric really works. It still looks brand new! I've actually wiped away ink on it!! And it was super easy to put together. However, the cushions are still to hard after using it frequently for at least 2 years!
It did also feel a little like we were being pushed over on it.
But we recently got a sectional in the Brook style and it is way more comfortable room wise. The cushions hook to the back so the aren't sliding around the way my other was. (still is)
The storage is great, and overall I think it's worth it at least for the fabric and price.
I discovered Home Reserve while searching for inexpensive RTA furnishings for a daughter's 3rd floor apartment.
Our first purchase was the Monroe (her choice, not mine - it's a little bulky) and she's had it almost 2 years. It's been assembled, disassembled and reassembled in a new (1st floor!) apartment and looks brand new.
I find it comfortable, not shallow, and the cushions are firm - more like memory foam as noted in another post. It's also used as a guest bed.
Just ordered the Laney for another daughter with a small space and tight budget.
It is what it is - inexpensive seating that performs as advertised. Obviously not designer stuff, but for those on tight budgets and especially with size/moving issues, it's a good deal.
I bought a tux chair and a half from HR a couple months ago to test out the concept, and then bought a sofa. What I ended up with was decent, but it was a bumpy ride.
The chair and a half took 10 days to ship, then arrived 4 days later. Make sure you have a drill to get the screws in. Maybe mine was defective, but all the screws seemed slightly too big for the holes, and my hands were very blistered at the end. An electric screwdriver only got the screws in 1/4 of the way. Also, the chair frame is made from 2 mirror image sets of pieces, and I was sent 2 non-mirror image sets. Therefore, the instructions didn't make sense, and I actually disassembled half the chair out of confusion because I thought it was my error.
The finished product was nice, and I still wanted a matching sofa, so I called customer service and told them about my problems. They gave me free shipping on the sofa, and I decided to get the ali version. Again, it took 10 days to ship, and then 4 days to arrive. Assembly was going well until I realized that I was missing multiple t-connectors and screws, so I had to stop and wait for the new parts to come. They sent them 2-day air, but it was still annoying to have to wait even longer. I continued putting the sofa together to find that the last wood piece wasn't cut correctly, and therefore I couldn't finish the couch. Also, when I put the fabric on the arms, it didn't fit the curve of the arm foam correctly and looked baggy and cheap. Again I had to call customer service (great people), and they sent me a new wood piece and new arm covers. The new covers were even baggier. I had to call customer service again and they were very accommodating and helped me convert the sofa to tux style like my chair because I knew those arms wouldn't be baggy. The end result looks good, but for all the hassle I would have rather spent more and ordered something from a furniture store.
I have been using the sofa for a little over a month. The cushions have softened, but I do worry they will get too soft. As they soften, the fabric that once fit like a glove starts to look baggy. For my current purposes these faults are acceptable, but once I move in a few years, the furniture will probably be relegated to a basement or family room, if it even makes the cut at all.
I have a Home Reserve Sectional purchased just before Thanksgiving over two years ago. It is the Monroe style not because I liked the style look better, but because I love to lie down on the couch and the arms looked and are very comfortable. Although I had two dogs and two cats and liked the idea of the pet fabric, I chose the washable Cricket Sky fabric because I loved the color for my bright and airy living room and I got a chair and two matching ottomans in the Emma Butter. I saw it suggested for a bedroom, but not a living room but I love mine and I do get many positive comments on it. I love my couch and my daughter's family of 3 including a baby love sleeping on my sectional when they stay. In fact they chose it over my spare bed. They each sleep on a different side of the sectional with heads together, and the little one sleeps on the two ottomans put side by side by Mamma. My daughter leaves the back cushions on but sometimes Daddy takes them off on his side. I also sleep comfortably on the couch for naps and sometimes overnight if I fall asleep watching TV. I am heavier over 260 pounds but I do fine although I do like to put the ottoman midway and my bent crooked knees usually overlap onto the ottoman.
I was somewhat worried before ordering because when I did various online searches about microfibre I read scary tales of some fabrics picking up every hair, but other people said their fabric didn't and I am so happy I decided to try this microfibre. Despite having 4 pets, 2 dogs and 2 cats; a short and a long hair of each: I never have any problem at all with pet hair despite them all loving the couch as much as I do. My previous expensive couch and love seat did not have microfibre but it picked up every hair and particle of dirt. This fabric doesn't attract anything and is very easy to clean. I have used my carpet cleaner a couple times to pick up a spill, and have washed the entire sectional twice in the washing machine, just before the holidays each time. Truthfully it really didn't appear to need it badly either time, but I cleaned the carpets and liked the idea of having everything fresh. The fabric washed beautifully. I didn't dry it as per the instructions but put the covers on while still slightly damp.
Although the couches are not as deep as some, I often put my feet up on the ottoman if I'm watching a long movie and I'm very comfortable as is my family when they visit. These of course don't recline andd have cupholders, but for my family they are perfect. Mine look like new even with the kid and multiple pet activity. I also love the soft feel of the fabric. It is a comforting feel to me.
I had also been concerned about the loose back pillows but I find that I really like them. My daughter wanted to get a Home Reserve sectional for her condo but wanted a larger one like mine but with a different arm style but found some cheaper sales prices out there. I know that the washable fabric would be great for her young one.
DRIVING DISTANCE FROM COLUMBIA, SC PLEASE LET US KNOW RIGHT AWAY at firstname.lastname@example.com. She wants a neutral color but can purchase the fabric she wants.
I encourage any family who has kids and pets that use their couches often and that like to keep things clean and smelling fresh to consider a Home Reserve couch or sectional. After all even one puppy accident or chew spot or cat clawing can ruin an expensive set and make it an eyesore you have to live with, but with Home Reserve an overnight order of one cushion of one cover could save your investment.
Registered just to comment what a fan I am of Home Reserve and their products. The title of this article is unfortunate as the products are way more than "decent" - as I furnished my first home (a tiny townhome) on a budget, they were a Godsend re actually getting a sofa. In my opinion there are so many good things about this company I can't begin to list them all: A clever frame design made of a compressed WOOD chips that interlocks and is STRONG and elastic and drills and acts like wood because it is wood. Is actually FUN to put together and can be taken apart and put back together. Strong hardware and connectors (like the vinyl used in car dashboards - doesn't break or strip). Wonderfully comfortable thick foam (it does remind me of memory foam, soft enough to give, but provides support too) - and no, you DON'T feel any boards (I replaced a bone-grinding pine futon with a Home Reserve sofa, I know what that feels like). Gorgeous fabrics - love, love, the lush pet care fabric that stands up to 3 cats and a dog, it's cool and smooth in summer, cozy in winter and washable too. Outstanding customer service. I move my bottom cushions all the time, depending how much seat depth I want, the lush back cushions fill in any gaps.
And there's more - check out all the horror stories online for your favorite big-name store for couches under $1,000; the stories of botched deliveries, the restocking fees, the rude or completely lacking customer service, bloated shipping fees, the peeling leather and seams that fall apart, breaking frames and arms made of covered cardboard, the repair technicians that never show up, useless warranties customers get talked into, springs that sag or poke through fabric after a year of normal use. It was stories like these, AND the fact on the HR website they openly invite you to "look under the hood" that convinced me to give HR a try 5 years ago, thank God. What is there on the website is what you get, what you pay, and if there are any problems at all they bend over backwards to fix it immediately. Home Reserve for me = Strength, Beauty, Comfort, and Peace of Mind.
There aren't a lot of complaints because there are so many happy customers, I am shocked when I see any negative comments. But there's a "little negative" (HR sofa bottom frame is only covered with fabric, not padding - doesn't bother me any) and BAD (like sitting on the floor for months because your cheap brand name furniture hasn't shown up, and other worse things).
I've put together a houseful of flat-pack furniture, bookcases, cabinets, bath savers, tables, so much I've lost track. Granted I often enjoy it, but the HR design is so clever and well engineered it is just plain fun. My heart goes out to folks with awful sofa experiences, wish I could direct them to HR (asked a friend of mine if he was happy after 3 years with his HR couch and loveseat, he said completely happy, no complaints). Personally I have had one couch for 5 years (converted the style this year) and replaced the bone grinding futon last fall, and just received a chair and half - yes, if you are a big guy HR will work for you, at least that is what my 200lb neighbor says, can't even sit in his wife's IKEA armchair it is so tiny.)
Can you do better (if you have money?) Sure! I have a friend with a $3000 real Italian couch from a fancy store - I've only sat in it once as I am afraid something in my jeans pocket will poke a hole in it. My brother has some fancy curved couches that weigh about 50 billion tons and will cost a fortune to re-upholster one day. For my money, if you like their styles (don't need all the oversized excessive details and excessive sofa prices) HR is the way to go, and take the money you save and go on vacation, instead of stressing out with some furniture problem.
No, I don't work for them (although you can say anything online). It's just gotten so bad in the U.S. that I am profoundly grateful to have stumbled over a company that produces products in the US, is run the way up-front honest businesses used to be run, and solved a big problem for me when I needed sofas I could move one day, that were beautiful, comfortable, strong, and durable, and that I could AFFORD. If you like their styles, give them a try, recommend without hesitation.
I bought a Home Reserve sectional two years ago in a light buff microsuede. I really like it. I am 5,1, and this is the first sofa that my feet don't tangle from the floor. For tall folks, these dimentions might be more uncomfortable. I love the space underneath. I actually bought two more armless chairs than I needed. They go great in my bedroom as small bedroom chairs. I am going to be moving in the next few months. I will not need a moving truck, since broken down, they will transport in my car, so in addition to the original low cost, I am still saving with this set.
I also like the philosophical point of view of this company. Seems like a good American choice.
I am interested in getting a Tux sofa in persimmon. But I am a little concerned about the foam padding. Has anyone purchased a sofa with the enhanced foam that they offer? Here is what they say on the website;
The enhanced foam is called "high-resilient" and it is the foam used on sofas costing over a thousand dollars. It increases the price of a Home reserve sofa by $65-$85. Call us and we can get you the enhanced foam price for your specific style and item.
Any feedback on the enhanced foam would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Oh, I forgot to ask! Has anyone used the Endura Ease air mattress with any of Home Reserve's sofa's. Here is a link to Endura Ease so you know what I am talking about. http://www.seatingsystem.com/endura/index.htm
This seems like the perfect set up for guests. You could store the air mattress in the sofa. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated as always.
Hey all. I bought my Home Reserve sofa in January, and I must say that I am impressed. I did all my research before purchasing, and noted the things that caught my attention are the things I love about my couch. The seat cushions are a little stiff, but they suggest to walk on them before you put them inside the covers to soften them up- and they do soften up from use too. I haven't had any problems so far, and this was a cheap solution to having furniture that you have to get professionally cleaned anytime you want it to shine. They also offer replacement parts in the event that something destroys a piece of your couch- which is a lot cheaper than buying a new couch. I never looked at the website reviews, but when I considered the cost in buying a more expensive couch and having it cleaned or replaced vs buying their furniture and being able to clean it myself or replace bad pieces, this was the right choice.
Hi! I bought a sectional from Home Reserve about 4 or 5 years ago. Our family really loves it. I have a husband (6' 3" and 280), 2 teenagers, and 5 cats (with all their claws!). I, too, purchased the buff microfiber. It still looks new after cats scratching it and spraying it (only a couple times--thank goodness) and food and drink spills. Everyone sleeps on it and is quite comfortable. My husband does not bottom out the cushions. The only con for us is that the seating seems to be somewhat shallow, but we generally use the ottomans which make it extremely comfortable. The customer service is awesome. The zipper on my ottoman cover broke a few months ago. I contacted the company, and they sent a new cover right away for free because the zippers were warrantied. I love being able to take every bit of fabric off and washing it and putting it back on. I would buy from them again, and I am really happy with my purchase.
I bought a Home Reserve sofa for my second story apartment over 4 years ago. Until I discovered HR, the only pieces of big furniture that made it around the landing of a staircase that was not furniture friendly were a futon and a bed. The pet care fabric was everything the video described, and the occasional drink that has spilled, just beads up and wipes away. Recently, a small piece of the frame broke. I called them, and left a message on their voice mail. Fifteen minutes later, my call was returned, and the replacement piece was shipped out. They didn't even ask how it broke! They apologized for any inconvenience, confirmed my mailing address, and thanked me for me for calling. While I do not advise sitting on the arm rests, and they could be a hair deeper, it is the best piece of cheap furniture I have ever bought.
I've had my HR Tux design sofa with the pet care fabric for over 5 years now. I've lived in a few apartments since then and it's so EASY to move this sofa. If it won't fit out the door or down/up the stairs, it's super easy to take it apart and then put back together again once you're in your new space. After all these years it still looks brand new and it's comfortable to sleep on. And an added bonus, you can take the covers off and wash them so your sofa stays clean too. If these sofas/loveseats/chairs are all you can afford, then you will be happy with your purchase. I have NO plans to go out and replace my perfectly good sofa. In fact I'm finally going to add another piece for seating in my living room.
I've had my HR sofa for about six months now, and so far so good! It is really lovely, which was my main concern, and pretty comfortable too. It is a bit shallow, but something to put your feet on seems to solve that problem. I decided to buy one first because it was cheap, but also because I was getting two new kittens with no plans to de-claw them and with these sofas you can order new fabric for specific parts of the couch, which is wonderful! They have just about learned to only claw the post, so I will be ordering new fabric for the arms soon. I would definitely recommend them.
I am thinking of buying the Classic sofa. I'm a bit worried about the wooden frame behind the cushions. Is there any padding backing the fabric? It sounds cheap if you hit the back and it's just solid. Maybe I should order the Hudson, where the cushions fold over the back frame?
Can anyone with the Classic or similar comment?
Thank you.
I'm considering purchasing HR pieces to replace the worn hand-me-down couch we have now that is sinking badly in the center. It really appeals to me because of the price and the ease of getting it upstairs as we'll be moving into a 4th floor apt in a few months and won't have to deal with that hassle!
With everyone's reviews on here I'm pretty sure I'll end up purchasing from HR. Plus HR has an A+ on the BBB website so I feel a lot better about that too!
I LOVE my sectional! It works perfectly for our family of 5.
I purchased 2 corners and 4 sections. I chose the rounded arm for one end and an ottoman end piece for the other. We also have an 18 inch ottoman cube which creates an awesome space to cuddle when pushed into the corner.
I chose the Altima pet care cover in Thyme and LOVE it. We have a dog and three cats, two teenagers (+ friends) and a 5 year old, so
things can get pretty messy. The covers are easy to wash and come out looking brand new every time.
We live in a VERY small townhouse and the sectional provides enough room for all 5 of us to comfortably watch a movie together. (two of us are 6ft tall!)
The seat cushions are very firm, but they do soften over time. The back cushions are super comfy.Very easy to fall asleep on.
I am impressed with the customer service as well. While my son and his friend were horsing around, they broke the arm pannel. One phone call and within two days I had a brand new pannel, no charge!
I would buy this again.
I adore Home Reserve - I can only assume that the reason why there is not a Home Reserve couch in every house is that 1) the name is hard to remember (I love them and still have to Google them every time!), and 2) they don't have very good Google Ad presence - it takes me way too long to find them on Google, and I know what I'm looking for!
So here's our experience: there are two of us at just around 6 feet, and a range from 160 to 240 pounds. In Jan 2010 we bought a long sectional sofa - the Avenue in Hondo scarlet microfiber - with ottoman and decorate pillows - for just under $1,000. We have all kinds of things stored in the sofa and ottoman - emergency food and water, extra towels and blankets, DanceDanceRevolution pad, 3 laptops, videos, free weights and exercise bands... you know what, I'm going to stop there. So it's a great space-saver.
We have two dogs, and this is their hangout - so far no problems with the fabric. It is all machine-washable (note: not all fabrics are machine washable - check before buying if that is important to you), which was vital what with having dogs and all. Best of all - if I got sick of the color or material (or if we had a cat that peed on it - bitter experience speaking here), I could get the whole thing changed for a fraction of the cost. And the materials range from utilitarian beiges to fashion-forward prints.
The pillows: the back ones are squishy and soft, and the bottom pillows are firm and springy (strong foam so you can't feel the frame below). The bottom pillows are going strong after several years under heavy people -- and they are firm, but not too firm - if I can't sleep I'll often come and sleep on the couch and snooze off quickly. The one complaint I have is that the zippers on two of the back pillows broke, but that's easily fixed with safety pins (nobody sees that part of the cushion), and I'm pretty sure Home Reserve would fix it if I complained (I'm lazy).
So in short - this is a great deal, you should definitely go for it if you are on the fence!
Here is the short of it. I am a disabled Veteran, on a fixed income and I needed an affordable couch so friends can have a place to sit. If I can haul the two boxes for my Ray couch up a flight of stairs and put the thing together, anyone can. If you can put a puzzle together, you can build these pieces of furniture.
The fabric was a pain at first (I am a guy, what do I know about working with fabric?) but it was because I did not read the instructions properly. Once I did, they went right on and it looks better than the couches you see in any furniture store or stores that happen to sell furniture. Besides, I used to work in one of those stores and all the pieces come from either Vietnam, China or India. Home Reserve is made in the USA. I love my couch. I even gave it the friend test and invited a bunch of people to come over and check it out and they all loved it too.
As I mentioned am a disabled Veteran, I have severe back issues and arthritis and the cushions are fine to me. Firm but they still give and support. If you want an over stuffed, cheap foreign made, over priced piece of furniture that will fall apart in a year, go somewhere else.
I will advise to NOT use a power drill, use a regular screw driver. And one piece out of the 30+ was not cut exactly properly but a two second zip with my Dremel and it fit perfect. You can not expect everything to be perfect all the time. Plus if my cats tear the fabric up, I can just buy a new set, how convenient is that? Also, be patient in putting it together, if you want a perfect piece, take your time and do it properly. I had fun putting it together, it made it feel like it was mine.
The best part of this is that since discovering Home Reserve, I never have to buy another piece of furniture that is a hand me down (that usually stinks or is stained or needs fixing) or from a furniture store (which is predominantly a 400 to 800% markup on the price).
You have this Marine's loyalty Home Reserve.
You said that you are both 6 plus feet tall, do you find that the seats aren't deep enough? I'm only 5'2" but both my boyfriend and I like to really lounge on the coach or really spread out while taking a nap (starfishing as we call it).
Thought I would post an update as someone who bought a Home Reserve sofa 2 1/2 years ago. My fiance and I were both still in school, moved in together, and needed something cheap. While $400 isn't even THAT cheap (numerous couches are free on Craigslist!) I wanted something new, and something that I could pick the color. It was also nice that it was delivered to our new apartment door. The couch actually still looks pretty good! The cushions have held their shape, and I don't know what I would do without the storage underneath them. The only problem we have is a cat with claws that LOVES the fabric. But without that, it would be a perfectly fine couch! One of the selling points for me was that you could buy replacement fabric parts just for certain areas of the couch, so in theory, I could just replace the part the cat scratched and it would be good as new. However, they discontinued my fabric over a year ago, and it cost $160-$190 to replace all the fabric, but I'm still considering it. I would definitely recommend it to someone who wants options, but is still on a budget, with the understanding that this couch will probably only going to look good for a few years at most. I plan on saving up and buying a quality couch next time (after I somehow teach my cat to behave!)
I've had my Home Reseserve sofa and loveseat for over 6 years now, and they have had up very well. Was very easy to put together, took an hour for both.
Initially, I bought these for a smaller apartment I was living in, that lacked storage space, so the storage feature was a big plus. Easy to put together, and have survived a move to a larger apartment. Now, I've ordered new fabric ( want a change in color) for both. I have the Monroe style, the couch and loveseat look beautiful in my new place, which is considerably larger than my old apartment.
The foam was initially very hard, but becomes softer over time. As for it being comfortable, both my daughter and I have fallen asleep on either the couch or loveseat while watching TV. I have also had guests sleep on the sofa, no problems reported.
In my opinion, you could buy more expensive furniture ( if you have the money), but , depending on the fabric, the Home Reserve items can be made to look more expensive than they are. I think they are good looking pieces of furniture for the price, and with the availability of different fabrics can be changed to suit your decor.
No, I don't work for them, LOL! But, if you're on a budget ( who ISN'T these days?), I would definitely recommend buying items from Home Reserve.
This original post is quite old, but I discovered it while looking for an answer to the same question as the original poster. While my own Home Reserve purchase is still under consideration, I wanted to mention a few details that no one else has mentioned.
First of all, customer service is great about e-mailing back with specific answers to any questions that aren't covered on the web site or their Youtube Channel...both of which have a lot of info. I had questions about arms and cushions, and they answered me back by the next morning. (And my follow-up question was answered within 20 minutes.)
Secondly, as of now (March 2013) they are in the process of changing the design of the seat deck, so that there is some flexible webbing under the cushions instead of just solid board like a futon. (Right now, you can order with either the webbing, or the solid OSB.) That should give the seats a little more bounce, and it might address some of the comments about the seats being too hard.
Thirdly, I'm considering a sectional. Once you total the price of all the pieces and then add nice premium fabric, the price is very competitive, but it's still a bit of an investment. If you're afraid to commit to that big a purchase without being able to sit on it first, they offer a pretty great deal. You can order just a single sectional piece (an armless piece that goes in the middle) in the fabric of your choice. Put it together, try it out for a while to test quality and comfort, and if you don't like it, they'll refund your money INCLUDING shipping costs. Yes, you'd have to deal with vacuum squishing a couple of foam cushions back in the box, but it's a lot better than trying to re-package a whole sectional, and then having to pay to ship it back. And it gives you more opportunity to really test it out and evaluate the quality than you would if you bought it from a furniture store, where you usually only spend a few minutes sitting and bouncing around on it. (Unfortunately, that offer only applies to sectionals - not chairs and couches.)
Those three factors really swayed me. I've ordered fabric swatches, and after I've picked one, I'm going to order the single sectional piece. My husband is dubious (and grumpy) about buying something we have to put together, but hopefully this test piece will give us an idea of whether the Home Reserve thing is really for us.
I bought a Monroe sofa from HR about five years ago. It was the only thing I could fit into my small, oddly situated NYC apartment. I was pregnant at the time, and my old futon/couch was painful. I can assure you it has stood the test of time. I've never replaced the fabric and it still looks fine. It's very comfortable (I don't like soft smushy things to sit on/lie on so to me it's comfortable without being too soft). I like it WAY better than anything at Ikea. I actually tried to replace it with a very well made "real" sofa and, to be honest, I'm about to switch back to my old HR sofa, which has been dismantled for about 6 months. To me it's just way more comfortable.
So don't be fooled by the price. If you want some down-filled ultra expensive sofa or want to put it in some posh formal drawing room then no, don't go to HR. If you want something comfortable, casual, and sturdy, then go for it. BTW, I'm 6 feet tall and have never felt it's too short or anything of the sort.
For the past 5 years I have had Home Reserve bookmarked and given far more consideration than necessary about ordering a couple pieces for my family room. I live in an old 100 year old home with a few narrow doors that make bringing any large piece of furniture a challenge at best. I also own dogs, and fabric washability was appealing. At first I was not very impressed by the fabric or patterns and decided to check with them periodically to see what changes unfolded. I was especially attracted to the small storage possibilities under seat cushion as well as the ability to change fabric for an update as well as the possibility of machine washing it.
I finally broke down and ordered a sofa and chair with ottoman in a machine washable fabric in Altimo Lemon and two square throw pillows in a black and white free form design made heavy cotton canvas. I am not a fan of sofas that you sink in when you sit, and I also prefer a firm mattress-so these matters of personal taste apply. It has been my experience that all sofas and traditional mattresses relax over time; if you begin with a new sofa that you sink in when you sit, you will only sink further down with each year. These seats are 6 inch foam that rest on wooden seats with a elastic webbing that "gives" when you sit. The cushions are not just fiber filled pillows, and there are no springs. I was amazed at the comfort and quickly took a 3 hour nap after the dogs had their chance to also test for comfort. I have to admit that this sofa and chair far surpasses the comfort of my $3500 sofa in my living room--and has much more support in the back and arms.
After a year of use, if I continue to be as impressed as I am now, that $3500 sofa in the living room will be hitting the curb with a replacement from Home Reserve.
I stumbled onto the Home Reserve website after spending two full weeks, actually 4-5 hours daily looking for a decent and affordable sectional for a small narrow room we are remodeling. This would be a sectional that would be used for guests to sleep on, and also to sit and watch TV. The guests would be infrequent, and TV watching would be 1-2 nights a week only, as this room is not in the house but attached to the garage.
After contacting HR, Sandy sent out the 8 swatches of material I requested and my husband and I looked on the website and between us agreed on an arm style and color or fabric. This is a substantial purchase for us, but this will be a much better deal than our current sofa in the living room and the $980 JC Penny Hide-a-bed that sits in our office. Although the hide-a bed get sat on most of the time, I can't stand it now after having it 4 years. No one can sleep on it, it is the worst. We have a small house and have crammed people on a two blow-up mattresses, and one on the LR couch - arrgghh!
Geez I have been so frustrated in looking at CHEAPLY made sectionals, everything comes from China or is made so crappy! The wood is marginal, and the side of the couch is usually cardboard. The prices are $850-$1100. Most nice sectionals start at $1500 and up. I just could not afford that price. Also I could not find one I like or that my 6'2" son-in-law could sleep on. Also my other son-in-law is a big 280# police officer.
I was about to think there was nothing out there. My husband did not want something built in, so that was out. That these breakdown flat and the cushions are foam and 8" in height, the back cushions are well padded. There is storage and it looks decent, and I saw the 10 guys standing on the frame, and standing and sitting on the cushions. I'm going to purchase the armless chair and then go from there. I like that I can purchase a few sections at a time and build the sectional as I can afford each piece. They were so wonderful to talk to and I like that this couch will be made here in America, by us!!
Hi Blaine! Any chance you could send a chair my way? I would review the heck out of that thing all across the web. :)
Greetings, I didn't want to spend a ton of money on furniture my cats would destroy. Wanted to try out microfiber but didn't have much luck finding a sofa I liked in that fabric that was the size I wanted. I'm only 5'2 and get tired of sitting with my feet sticking out because I can't touch the floor. Then I found Home Reserve. Got a love seat, then a chair and two ottomans. The couch is almost 9 years old and the fabric looks great yet, washes well and not a single cat claw snag. My brother sent 3 times as much money on his love seat and likes mine better. Says it is much more comfortable. Amazing furniture for the price.
About 6 years ago, I purchased a Home Reserve sofa and love seat. I was on a tight budget back then. I liked the fact that the material I chose could be washed.
I've been quite happy with how everything has held up. The stitching on the covers still looks new. The cushions have remained in shape. The only thing that's been an issue is where the sides and base come together on the covers, it's pulled apart some. This does not affect the structure of the furniture, just the way the covers velcro down there. I've noticed Home Reserve has made a change to that style, so it's nice to know that Home Reserve continues to improve on their products.
Today, my budget is less tight and I have been looking at new furniture. Both my parents and in-laws have purchased new furniture less than 3 years ago. They paid a great deal more than I did with Home Reserve, but their expensive furniture hasn't help up as well as mine. Their cushions are out of shape and on my in-laws Lay-Z-Boy brand, the arm came loose and the recliner broke. It's those reasons that I decided to make another Home Reserve purchase on my new furniture. This time, not for my budget, but more for the feeling that it will last another 5-6 years and still look and feel good. So this week I'm getting a new Home Reserve couch, love seat and ottoman in the Tux style. My former HR set will be given to a family member. I hope my new set has the same or better quality that my first set.
One excellent reason to get Home Reserve: BEG BUGS. Normal sofas are practically impossible to treat because there are so many crevices for them to hide in. But a Home Reserve sofa can be disassembled, so that the fumigator can get into every possible hiding place.
I recently had to take apart a lot of my wooden furniture to be fumigated (bench, nightstand, bookcase, etc.), but the sofa had to be tossed because it was too big, too plush, too FRIENDLY TO BED BUGS. Of course, you could also buy a new sofa and get a bed bug-proof encasement for it, but then it would look ugly.
My next sofa will be a Home Reserve one. My friend has had hers for years, I've slept on it during overnight stays and it's perfectly fine.

A 3-year-old is recovering in a hospital after being run over by an SUV on Sunday.
Neighbors expressed concern when they found out a 3-year-old boy who lives across the street was almost run over by his brother.
"It was probably within inches, it could have been death," said Lt. Emilien Safon, with Phoenix Police Department.
Safon says a mom and her four kids were hanging Christmas lights outside. She went to move her Envoy SUV out of the way when her 10-year-old hopped into the driver's seat.
"Mom was standing in the open doorway and the 10-year-old was asking questions, [like] how cars operate, at some point the car starts going backward," said Safon.
Police say when the vehicle went into reverse, it actually knocked the boy's mom to the ground. Luckily she was able to put her hand on the brake and prevent it from going further.
"She came running in holding the little boy screaming, 'Please help me, call 911'," said neighbor Jim Skousen.
Skousen says the 3-year-old had obvious injuries but was alert; the child's mom and siblings were visibly shaken.
"There were two other kids with her when she came in the house and they were crying and upset, just a tragic situation," said Skousen.
Investigators confirm the 3-year-old had abrasions to his midsection and are working to determine if he was pinned under the tire or if it actually ran over him.
Police say it does not appear the 3-year-old's injuries are life threatening.

2. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it is a light chocolate color, about 5 minutes (this is the "roux").
3. Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Add the broth, sausage, and Cajun seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
4. Add the shrimp and simmer until they are pink and cooked through. Serve over the rice. Pass hot sauce at the table.

Theresa Soares: Why I Submit My Lowest ACT Scores on Applications4
Tuesday, Jul, 17 at 12:00 pm,
Theresa Soares is a blogger, writer, and activist interested in dyslexia, creativity, and cerebro-diversity. Theresa entered her professional career as one of the youngest women ever to be hired by the United States Department of the Navy. After two years at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey California, she joined The Harry Singer Foundation in Carmel California where she currently leads philanthropic research and development. She is also the founding and current author of the Ghost-Lexia Blog, where she regularly writes on ways in which dyslexic entrepreneurship is challenging the status quo in both education, and work. On July 14th 2012, she released a blog post revealing how she was forced to submit her lowest ACT scores when she applied to college as a result of not receiving accommodations for her learning difference. This post is perhaps her most significant contribution to the anti-high stakes testing movement to date. Theresa is a student at Mills College in Oakland California where she is currently studying sociology, education, and journalism.

The village of Mijas or Mijas Pueblo is known as the 'white village of Andalucía', and resides 400m up on a steep hill on the Mijas Costa. The cobbled streets and stunning setting have made Mijas holidays a favourite and many foreign settlers, especially artists and writers have never left after taking accommodation in Mijas. It is a quaint, quiet town just 7km from the commercial coastal towns of the coast. The unmistakable Andalucian atmosphere in Mijas is tangible, with a passion for festivals and a laid back, slow pace of life making it impossible not to relax in a Mijas villa. Despite being a world away from the bustle of the coastal resorts, a self catering holiday rental in Mijas is only a few kilometres away from the beaches of the Costa del Sol.
The influx of artists and craftsmen has meant that many boutiques have sprung up selling unique and beautiful crafts and pictures. The best way to explore the town is in one of the local donkey taxis, which are not very expensive but are both comfortable and relaxing! Sitting in a street bar on the Plaza de la Paz is an idyllic way to spend an hour, watching the world going by. The Santuario de la Virgen de la Pena is a magnificent shrine carved into the rock. The best views from Mijas can be found from the park at the top of the hill or either of the stunningly beautiful churches of Santa Ana or San Sebastian. San Sebastian Street is thought to be the most photographed street in Spain.
Once you have walked around the village, a great place to stop and admire the view is the Muralla Gardens. From this vantage point, you can see stunning views all along the coast, whilst sitting in the shade of the flowers and trees which are in bloom all year round.
Information on the history and culture of this beautiful village can be investigated from the Folk Museum and the frequent displays in the Town Hall. Taking a Mijas villa over Easter weekend will be certain to entertain. Mijas is the host of the largest Easter celebration in Andalucía.
There is plenty of entertainment to keep you occupied when staying in a Mijas holiday villa. The Mijas hippodrome is host to a range of racing, and the Parque Acuatico Mijas water park is open from May until October. Mijas also has two golf courses to entertain those on golfing holidays. Los Olivos and Los Lagos golf courses are both open to the public. Fuengirola zoo, Tivoli world and the Marbella casino are all within striking distance of a self catering holiday rental in Mijas too, making it an ideal base to entertain everyone on a family holiday.
With 320 days of sun every year, Mijas is perfect for last minute holidays at any time of the year, especially for golf holidays. Winter temperatures are around 20°C during the day, and summer temperatures soar into the 30's (°C).
Malaga Airport (AGP) is within an hour of Mijas. Daily flights from the UK arrive in Malaga from 12 airports, and due to the competition, there are some fantastic deals on cheap flights to Mijas to be found.

Uniform changes take place
Marines and sailors assigned to Marine units are required to wear the appropriate seasonal service uniform. American Forces Press is reporting, the designated uniform worn from November to March will be the Service B "Bravos" and from April to October, the Service C "Charlies". The Air Force rescinded its "Blues Monday" policy that had required most airmen to wear the blue uniform every Monday. Neither the Army nor Navy have service wide requirements regarding wear of service uniforms.

Nurses know that water is essential to human life – a person can survive for about three weeks with no food, but will perish after only about a week with no water. An adult body, after all, is about 60% water. And yet, most Americans are mildly dehydrated, according to Harvard researchers. You're continually losing water through your breath, perspiration, elimination, etc. Adequate fluid intake helps make you healthier in so many ways, by nourishing absolutely every cell in your body.
How do you know if you're running low on vital fluids? Here are three warning signs:
Check your intuitive and physical fluid gauge.
Are you thirsty? That's the best way to judge if you're dehydrated. Sometimes, though, you lose water faster than your body's thirst mechanism registers the depletion. (During a sweaty workout in the hot sun, say.) Another excellent indicator is the color of your urine: It should be pale yellow. If it is often dark yellow, definitely drink more water.
There are other symptoms of dehydration, such as slight fatigue, mild headaches, dry throat, rough couch, and constipation. Other, more serious symptoms take longer to show up and may be harder to pinpoint: kidney stones and bladder cancer, for instance.
Check the scientifically recommended fluid gauge.
According to the Institute of Medicine, an average, healthy adult living in a moderate climate needs about 13 cups (men) and 9 cups (women) of fluid a day. That's close to the "Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day" advice that's been popular for years. The "8 x 8" rule is a catchy slogan that's easy to remember and yet still agrees with the current scientific evidence.
Check for exceptions that may re-jigger your fluid gauge.
Any physical condition that makes you perspire or otherwise quickly lose bodily fluids requires a higher fluid intake in order to stay hydrated. For instance: Do you exercise strenuously? Do you live in a hot or humid climate? Are you breathing heated indoor air? Are you experiencing fever, vomiting, or diarrhea? Are you pregnant or breast-feeding? In certain situations, special drinks (with electrolytes) or medical intervention may be necessary to make up for rapid fluid loss.
Happily, most of the time the solution for dehydration is simple: drink eight cups daily, with water as your beverage of choice. If you keep a thermos on your desktop and sip from it throughout your shift, you'll easily stay hydrated. Only drawback: more trips to the restroom, something that nurses often find difficult to fit in. But that's another blog post topic!
What's your hydration situation? Please share your tips, tricks, and tools for quenching thirst.
