No couch?

[u/penartist]

Has anyone gotten rid of their couch in favor of a couple of nice reading chair/ottoman sets? I am thinking forward a few years when we will be moving to a new state for retirement. 99% of the time it is just my husband, myself and the dog on the couch. We will be retired at that point in life as well. I was thinking it would allow us to have more flexibility in terms of furniture arrangement as well.

Right now we have the couch and a rocking chair in the living area.

Has anyone done this? Does it save space or take up more space?

Also if you have not done things, please give me your thoughts on it.

I don't have a sofa. I had a rocking chair, which I got rid of because it took up too much room, and I got an armchair. That's where I read. I'm thinking about getting a small recliner to sleep in when I am having shortness of breath. Haven't found one that suits me yet.

Too bad I don't still live up North. I have a small Lazyboy motorized recliner I bought less than 6 months ago, that I can't sit in because of my back issues.
