I expect that as the normal for my life, so whatever I buy, I need to know I can move it myself and couches are no easy task that way. (a Morris couch I might be able to disassemble)
Back in the 1970's I had a wonderful couch - and it was movable! It was actually 3 separate pieces that could be all together for a couch, all set apart for 3 chairs, or 2 together for a love seat and then 1 for a chair, etc. Loved it! There were no arms so the pieces all fitted together smoothly, the cushions snapped off (for cleaning I guess), and I still think about how that was the most practical piece of furniture! I have never seen any like it since then. It was also comfortable and looked good. And, ToomuchStuff, very easy to move even for one person.
