Corgis and Couches: What stands up to corgi nails and fur? - MyCorgi.com2024-03-28T23:49:46Zhttp://mycorgi.com/forum/topics/corgis-and-couches-what-stands-up-to-corgi-nails-and-fur?commentId=1150197%3AComment%3A1379573&feed=yes&xn_auth=noThank you all for the respons…tag:mycorgi.com,2011-11-23:1150197:Comment:13813982011-11-23T23:42:06.521ZGail and Ashtonhttp://mycorgi.com/profile/GailBrightbill
<p>Thank you all for the responses. I like hearing how all the couches stand up to real life use versus what that salesman on commission has to say. Much to think about.</p>

<p>I used to have a microfiber couch, and maybe it was my fault for choosing a light color but it seemed like it stained really easily (and this was with the extra "stain protection" stuff on it from the furniture store). I could usually get the spots out, but if you scrub it too much then it leaves sort of a rough spot that isn't very comfy. I don't think I would buy another.

<p>We have cheap leather chairs from Ikea, it's about 4 years old and no scratches yet, I do apply leather products faithfully to preserve them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also have a suede sofa, since ours are not allow on the sofa, hair sticks to the bottom. Don't get suede.</p>

<p>I have a leather couch and chairs. They're the heavy full grain leather without the shiny coating. They do get superficial scratches on them, but nothing deep. I've had them with dogs for about 16 years. When they get a bit faded and scratched I use Armorall on them and it brightens them back up.</p>

<p>We have had a leather couch and 2 chairs for 11 years now and no problems except they have faded some. Been through 4 bassetts, a westie and 2 corgis over the years and no holes or cuts. My wife has a micro fiber chair now and it seems to repell fur very well.</p>

<p>With a corgi? I'd go for something from the rummage sale. Cover it with a blanket that you can take outside and shake. </p>
<p>Our dogs live on the loveseat cushions. Our style is White trash chic. Wish the loveseat was Kevlar -- we have a cat, too.</p>

<p>That is very similar to what we have. The downside is our couch has a higher back and it doesn't really drape over the top well, so it has a bad habit of slipping whenever you sit on it. I'm readjusting the darn thing several times a day. But it works well and washes nicely. </p>

<p>I have leather and really like it! My daughter has a red microfiber much like the one shown with the tri corgi, but hers does get a lot of hair on it from my dog and she has to go over it everytime we leave! The leather doesnt scratch and the hair doesnt stick. We live in Wi. so the only draw back is it can be cool in the winter when you first sit on it, but otherwise i love it and it lasts forever!</p>
