Here's a fantastic couch throw that takes that feeling away..assuming you can easily be comforted by a flat faceless buddy that is the long lost brother to the mensroom symbol.. Albeit a lil short for large couches, it's ideal for small apartment sized sofas and come in a variety of styles and colours (here listed the coolest and thus somewhat most expensive one at $149US).
