I would prefer fabric to leather. And end a three section normal size couch is fine. It doesn’t have to be some huge sectional monstrosity.
- I can’t recommend a specific couch, but for what I call mid-range I think Costco is the place to go. They have lots of stuff online, but I wouldn’t buy a couch I couldn’t actually sit on first. In-store furniture is generally only available in between seasons though - the next time would be late summer. Oh, and there’s no delivery from in-store - the last time I bought a couch I just rented a U-Haul for a few bucks. - They do offer a paid service through a third party now for delivery. 
- Nearest Costco is 90 minutes away. In Canada. But it might be worth it. May I ask which one you chose? 
 
- I have this couch and it’s amazing. Love the wide reclining. https://www.furniturepick.com/next-gen-durapella-slate-power-reclining-sofa-w-adjustable-headrests-signature-design-by-ashley-sd-5930147.html - Thanks! 
 
- Lay-z-boy might be worth a look. I don’t have a couch but I have several reclining chairs. They’ve all held up well for 10 years and then some. - I think I’ve heard their quality has gone downhill? 
 
- Ashley Furniture has some good ones for reasonable prices. I had to get one for my mom, and she loves it. 
- IKEA is hit or miss with couches but if you’re set on reclining, I’m not sure they have any good ones. The Kallax is solid for a mid-range option if you don’t want reclining though. - Reclining is my primary desired feature, so unfortunately it’s a deal breaker. Thank you, though!
