The average adult will spend 4 years of their lives on the sofa, a new survey finds. The average person spends 975 minutes, or 3 hours, per day lounging on the couch – eating, sleeping, working, and watching TV. Over a third can’t imagine going a day without their “happy place” sofa, which 43% say they spend the most time on at home. Common sofa activities include binge-watching (25%), working (21%), and napping (23%). However, only half regularly clean their sofas, and 61% never consider odors trapped within. To maintain a fresh sofa, 75% have rules like no shoes, food, or pets allowed. Experts advise being mindful of sofas absorbing more than just our weight over time. (Story URL)
