    I have a 3 seater leather sofa in brown for free if you can collect from Coventry. Its old but very sturdy and comfortable still, no tearing and the cushioning is still excellent.

    You'd need a van as its massive.

    Its free because I got it for free when i bought my house and i dont like the thought of then making money out of someone for it.

    Unfortunately your OH debt problems are also yours if you intend to stick together so you shouldn't be considering buying something expensive until your in a better situation together (IMHO) I would also second charity shops, some have superstore sized places now. I recently sent a very expensive and hugely comfortable (slept the night very well on it very often!) to Cancer Research, only changed it because of colour and needed more seats. In this weather get it outside with some good cleaner and give it a good scrub and it will be dry in no time.
