“It’s a bed. It’s a couch. It’s a multi-functional piece of furniture for laid back lifestyles. The HuddleCouch® offers new possiblilites for entertainment and comfort.”
Believe it or not this ad is dated 1994. And apparently you have to wear a suit to enjoy your HuddleCouch. But the formal attire doesn’t stop this couch from being, “the most fun you can have on a couch or a bed. It’s a way of life!” Indeed.
I’m surprised that this is from 1994 – the ad sounds so gee-whiz 1950’s.
Judging by its complete absence in average American homes, it appears that the HuddleCouch failed to become The Next Big Thing. Too bad; looks like a fun way of life. Or something.
As in Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice without suits?
You just know an unsuccessful-with-ladies guy had to think this up as a smooth transition from sofa to bedroom, not that a transition is necessarily used all the time. Yeah, a sofa bed is too complicated.
The wings on the sides would keep people from rolling off, babies and small children, I mean.
If I put that in my living room there’d be no room for anything else! So I couldn’t get the white one- it would show the footprints where children and dogs have climbed up and walked over guests in their best suits to get to the other side of the room.
The best part is that it’s from 1994. Oh, the Clinton Years. Halcyon.
I had one of these couches while growing up! It was green, it was canvas, and it was indestructible in a house of four boys! If I could figure out how to make one I would do it – there is no better family couch!
…I don’t know about those business suits though.
