Furniture Shopping

We went furniture shopping yesterday. What do we need? Living room furniture (except side tables & coffee table), family room furniture with side tables and a new mattress for our bed. My hubby is trying to talk me into one of those memory foam mattresses. Can't get the feel of that? Not very comfy. The FR couch has to be long enough for him to nap on and comfy. We definitely don't want a sleeper in the family room. So, we went to Value City. Eh, not so great. Something called Room Store (?), eh, okay, but nothing "jumped" out at us. Then to IKEA. Looked a lot like dorm furniture or kid furniture, but great storage ideas and basement furniture, maybe. Then we ended up at Ashley. Didn't even know they had one. We probably would've bought furniture there, but the sales people were very pushy. Not a good point in our eyes. Leave us alone and let us look! So we walked out, but we left liking a lot of things they had. Now we need to figure out what to buy. I hate this. I wish someone could just come in and say, "Oh, well the couch and chair and ottoman is a must and the other chair would be fine too." But, no such luck! UGH!
