    Hi all,

    Is been a while since I've posted but ive still been lurking :D

    4 years ago we bought a sofa from dfs which I loved (and still do now) but with 2 indoor cats and a OH who has eczema he can no longer sit on it without it irritating him.
    "Bound to be"? I disagree. That's not a certainty by any means. An erroneous and most insensitive assumption indeed!

    B&T - Not an assumption at all but a response to the sentence which said "2 indoor cats and an OH who has eczema"

    Cats are a well known trigger for allergies and it would be sensible to assume that the cats are having some effect on the eczema! You only have to google the two words and no end of reports and articles and studies come up.

    What about getting his a leather reclines/armchair? you could get cushions to tie it in with you room, and it will be alot easier replaced than a whole sofa if it needs to be replaced again.

    Great idea :T :)
