The Man Couch: Nashville

I've moved to Nashville for my job with Raven Tools but that doesn't change my mission: Comfortable seating at shopping locations. There's no reason for patrons of stores to be foot-sore and tired. Expect to see some new reviews of stores here in Nashville based on the availability of seating.

Sephora in Montclaire Mall

This Sephora location gets 3 of 5 stars for their Man Couch score. This is because as you can see they do have some "seating" either in the beaty chairs or on a small bench... But the mall itself has so much quality and intentional seating that I can't give a 2 star rating. Nonetheless, Given the nature of the shopping here you will quickly wear out the minimal comfort found in their provided "seating".

Nectar Clothing - Claremont: Doing It Right

Nectar, Claremont CA




A unique clothing store in the Claremont Village, in Claremont, California.

The owners of Nectar care, that's what you feel from the moment you enter the store and see a comfy chair waiting for you. Wander around the store and by the dressing rooms you'll find 2 big overstuffed sofa chairs just waiting. Thank you Nectar, for doing it right!



5 / 5 stars

H & M - Rancho Cucamonga

H&M - Rancho Cucamonga
909-463-2218


12410 South Main St ste 1140
Rancho Cucamonga CA, 91739
★★☆☆☆
Rating: 2/5


This location has a severe lack of provided customer seating. As you can see I had to improvise and sit on one of their foot stools meant for reaching the higher racks. Several other customers, including an elderly lady and a guy with his foot in a cast used the bench high display platform at the front of the shop as an improvised bench.

Shockingly even though they had a shoe section they didn't even supply the usual refuge for the footsore customer which is the shoe fitting bench. The only supplied seating was a single hardwood bench in the fitting room area. This location needs to provide it's clients with more seating availability!

What Is The Man Couch?

You're in the mall, and it's been 2 hours since you got to sit down. Your feet are tired and you are just wanting to get through this and get back to the car. It's as if all of the shop owners hate you, they really don't care that you'd spend extra time in their store and quite likely end up buying a whole heck of a lot more merchandise.

It Doesn't Need To Be This Way

If merchants added a comfortable couch, they'd more than recoup that small expense with the additional shopping time they'd add to each customer couple. This site will post my efforts to review stores, starting in Claremont, California(because it's where I live), and give them a Man Couch score based on the level of seating available to shoppers in their stores. I also will be working on a petition that can be sent by the followers of The Man Couch that requests that they make a comfy couch addition to their store layout. If you're a furniture provider, then reach out to me, as I'd like to help connect you with these stores so they can get that couch at a discount, and in exchange you'll get advertised as a sponsor of The Man Couch.

Soon, We'll All Be Comfortable on,
The Man Couch
