I went back for more furniture, and of course Jackson and the Couch Potato was so helpful and gave me exactly what I was looking for. I went in and looked around and before jumping to it went to visit the other furniture, stores in town and no one even comes close. The service at the other places was so offputting. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. Couch Potato is just the right amount of service with high-quality furniture. To me there there's no other store around. read more

Couch Potato is so rad. They are clearly focused on helping you find what will work best in your space. Jackson has been such great help. I can't wait to move in to my new place next week with my awesome couch! read more

We bought a sleeper sofa from Couch Potato a couple of months ago. It looks great in the office, and is comfortable for sitting and sleeping. I was hearing a small noise when sitting on one side of the sofa, and contacted Jackson. He came out, diagnosed the issue, ordered a part, then had his movers come and get it, take it back to the warehouse to repair, then bring it back to our home. This is what sets The Couch POtato apart from other furniture stores - real customer service!! read more

Great couches, great employees, but that's not why you should be running there right now. THEY HAVE INCREDIBLE MERCH!! Local T-shirt collectors beware, they have the best vintage looking locally branded t shirts in town. read more

My family has been purchasing couches, recliners and love seats from the Couch Potato since 1989. They offer friendly, polite and professional service as well as a huge selection and good pricing. They are our first choice for furniture of this type. Ask for Jackson, he will treat you right! read more

I love the sofa I bought at The Couch Potato. The fabric color is beautiful, and it's incredibly comfortable. Jackson is very customer-friendly and goes out of his way to help you find the perfect couch to meet your needs. read more

Bought a recliner oversized chair many years ago from here and have been so happy with it that I decided to try here for a couch. The owner is no-pressure and patient with multiple visits and many questions. We wanted durable and were willing to wait for production. Have had our sectional couch and ottoman for a year and are very happy with it. For us it is a good value because it is quality and built to last and we like to buy classics rather than trends. read more

Always have great service when we go to Couch Potato! Great selection, and the owner is very knowledgeable and friendly. Went looking for an electric recliner 8 mos. ago and got an unexpected discount when our order was delayed a few weeks. Very cool! When we mentioned to the deliveryman that we had bought a settee from Couch Potato 15 yrs ago, he said he probably delivered it, because he's been working there that long. That's pretty rare these days...and just goes to show what a great local business we have in our area! We had to replace the cord on our chair when we recently moved and damaged it, and the owner, Jackson gave us a replacement cord for free. We're very happy with the service and pricing, and would highly recommend the Couch Potato! read more

Jackson and Dillon at Couch Potato were fantastic! Excellent service, low pressure environment, and very helpful. We walked in and came out with a perfect couch just 30 minutes later. They even let us load it into our car to make sure it fit before we purchased. They wrapped the couch, loaded the car, and even tied our door down so we could make the drive safely. Couldn't recommend this place more highly! read more

This will be my second couch I've ordered from them and I'm confident this second couch will be as great as the first. Jackson and Dillon were both helpful, kind, respectful and I highly recommend this company. read more

We needed to replace a sofa within 2 weeks and they had a sofa that met our needs. The best part was that they delivered within a 2 week window. We recommend Couch Potato for their super customer service! read more

What a great experience, starting with Jackson's A+ customer service. Just stellar. The delivery was equally flawless thanks to The Ramones' father/son careful, competent, friendly help. This is our first NEW [non-thrift store] couch, and we're thrilled with it and the Santa Cruz Couch Potato experience. Wish we'd visited years ago. We highly recommend!! read more

Great products and super reasonable prices. Second time going there. First time for a recliner and this time for a sleeper sofa. They threw in a couple throw pillows as well. Super friendly staff. They wrapped it up for me and helped me load in my truck. read more

Purchased a love seat for my office and had a great experience. Even came in quicker than expected. Jackson has been a pleasure to deal with! read more

Jackson answered my questions via email for weeks before I went in, and I am glad I did. I walked out with a different type of couch than I thought I wanted that fit my situation better and was SO comfortable. He was knowledgeable about his stock and measurements and able to match the fabric and style of loveseat I wanted to a couch that was still wrapped up. Delivery was next day and they removed my old couch for a very small fee especially for how big it was! Picture is massive gross old couch vs what I bought from them. I recommend them highly and, shop local! read more

We just ordered a couch and Dillon and Jackson were great! Very helpful, answered our questions without any hard sell! I highly recommend them. read more

From the second we walked into the store until the delivery everything was stellar. No pushy sales, just plain good ole info. We choose an awesome couch and it's sooooo comfy. The delivery guys came right on time and were very respectful of our home. We opted for a couch that was already on the floor so we only had to wait a few days for delivery. I highly recommend shopping here. We actually had fun. read more

Couch Potato was recommended to me by a friend. I was told they were courteous, knowledgeable, and had a really good selection. I must say that this is not your typical furniture store. This is a no-frills, well-run small store with a great selection. I visited a major chain in Rocklin, CA that is closed on Sunday (RC) before learning that Couch Potato had a better price on exactly what I wanted. Know what you want and go see Jackson at the Couch Potato read more

I read the positive reviews before visiting the Couch Potato, and this place did not disappoint. We loved the variety of couches, and we found exactly what we were looking for!Our comfy couch and rug were delivered the next day, and our custom-made recliner will arrive next month. We were so pleased with the options and friendly service! The person who helped us out was so nice and knowledgeable. Good vibes all around. This place makes you feel like a valued customer, and prices are reasonable. We highly recommend! read more

We are absolutely in love with our new custom couch and loveseat!! It was so worth the wait to receive furniture with such excellent quality!! We were nervous because we ordered from a swatch of fabric and were unsure of the outcome. It was so much better than we expected and the service and delivery have been top notch!!! The owner Jackson kept us in the loop re: the progress of our couches and has been super communicative throughout the whole process. The pricing was well worth the quality of the furniture and quite reasonable as compared to Crate and Barrel and Pottery Barn. And you can't beat the customer service and more importantly supporting a local business! read more

I started my couch shopping at a couple of large retailers and one specialty store before finding Couch Potato on Yelp. Could not recommend higher. Ask for Jackson! They are knowledgeable, have a good selection and have reasonable prices. The team is also extremely knowledgeable of fabric, firm/softness and styles First off, when you visit the two combined wherehouses, you are allowed to walk around without a sales person on your tail. No pressure! Seriously. They are also open to questions, and ask you what you are looking for (even if you are not sure, they will let help you figure it out). After I selected a couch, they followed up on the specialty order and the communication was top notch. They are so easy to get a hold of and I've recommended to a few friends already! read more

We love Couch Potato. We have 5 chairs from this store. We always get lots of compliments. They are always my go to for comfy furniture purchases. The fabric selections are great. I love that I can pick my fabrics. Jackson is always super helpful! If anything goes wrong he always fixes it without an hiccups. read more

I'm writing not for the sales experience we had 11 years ago, but for the continued assistance I've received ever since. We purchased a sectional with two motorized recline mechanisms in 2012. Four years later, one of the hand controllers fell into the couch and was crushed by the mechanism. Bruce (the former owner) had another one to us right away. Five years later, I contacted them because one of the mounted switches had failed (same result -- an inoperable recliner). Once again, I contacted Bruce via e-mail. He replied only a few hours later to inform me that he'd sold the company a few years ago, but had passed my note on to the new owner. I had another e-mail from Jackson (the new owner) the very next morning, who followed up with questions and suggestions. We'd sorted out the issue over phone and e-mail and identified the correct parts by the end of the day. But where this interaction really shined was when I admitted that, through our conversation, I'd identified a generic replacement online. I was more than willing to buy the part from Jackson to compensate him for his trouble, but he encouraged me to go with the less-expensive option, and just contact him if it didn't work. When I apologized for taking his time, he simply said he was happy to diagnose the issue with me. Now, that's the hallmark of great customer service: sacrificing a buck or two to make sure your customer is happy, even if it's been eleven years. I will absolutely recommend bringing your business here, and when the great sectional we bought from them has finally reached the end of its useful life, we'll be shopping with Jackson again. The fact that the *former* owner was so quick and happy to act really says a lot for the business culture. read more

Just got my couch delivered and I'm obsessed! I got a huge sectional (three seats by three seats with an ottoman) for $2600. It is all down filled, stain resistant, supersoft fabric and made in SoCal - not China. -Service at this place is excellent. They worked with me to create a custom sectional that fit my measurements and was exactly what i wanted. -The prices are pretty good for furniture made in USA, and I always support local made. -After ordering, takes about 4-6 weeks to come in. I got mine delivered for an additional fee, but it was totally worth it. Scheduling delivered is easy. They call you when it comes in and they deliver Thurs, Fri, and either Sat or Sun. Anyhow, they called me on a Tues and I got mine delivered the same Friday. Highly recommend this place and their furniture! I am so happy with my new couch, but I can't get my dog to get off of it! Hehe. read more

I only come to Yelp either when I am blown away by great or shitty service. The Couch Potato's service was GREAT every step of the way. Jackson was seriously the best - so friendly, knowledgeable and not pushy AT ALL, which we loved. The delivery guys were amazing and moved a bunch of furniture for us not related to the delivery (don't worry - we tipped them well!) We bought a couch and two rugs and absolutely love all of them and the prices are good. Would 100% recommend these guys. Shop local, people! read more

Couch Potato is a great place to browse for furniture or rugs with NO Pressure! Jackson and his staff are very considerate, honest, knowledgably and helpful. Go there before you go to overpriced department stores or "Name Brand" Furniture stores. read more

My friend bought a couch and two recliners about a year ago and I was so impressed either the quality and design I saved up to find a re lining chair for myself. When I saw the huge selection from simple to sophisticated designs (recliners that can go back almost like a zero gravity chair) I was very grateful because a use I knew I would find something perfect for me. The owner was very helpful and found the exact chair I've needed and showed me how it works and upgraded it for me on the spot. I highly recommend this furniture store. You will happy you're there. read more

Cannot recommend the Couch Potato enough. High quality, great local service, and a great value for quality furniture. Most important, though, is that they support our community with generous donations of furniture to children's charities. They've provided furniture for Jacob's Heart for 20 years and are now helping furnish the Center for Child and Adolescent Mental Health, saving thousands of dollars that can be used to support children and families. read more

We have shopped for furniture at Couch Potato for 25 years dating back to when Bruce was the owner. The last purchase we made, about 2- 3 years ago, was an electric reclining chair. This was about the time that Jackson became the new owner. The electric up and down button stopped working and we contacted Jackson on a Friday. The chair was stuck in the up position and we had a baby shower the next day on Saturday. We live in Monterey area and didn't have time to take the chair to Soquel. Jackson made the 40 minute drive to our house early Saturday morning and repaired the chair. This is the best customer service we have ever experienced! We would give Jackson and the couch potato a 10 star rating if we could!! If you need a couch, chair or any other product that Couch Potato sells we recommend you buy it from Jackson and his team at Couch Potato! Review respectfully submitted by Ward and Kristen McKalson from Monterey Peninsula. read more

My daughter and I came into the warehouse one evening ready to buy a couch. The employee was extremely unhelpful as if we were wasting his time. We had asked for help and he spent maybe 3 minutes walking us around and then proceeded to turn his back on us and go into his office space. We were directed to look in the back warehouse alone and he was so rude as if we were not serious about a purchase that we left dissatisfied. It was a very shocking experience. There were no other customers or anything he was doing, he honestly just didn't seem to care. I was very surprised because I've heard so many good reviews from friends but we left empty handed even tho we had cash and a truck. read more

I went to a couple of big box stores to shop for living room furniture. All the offerings looked the same and service was typical for big box stores (minimal or nonexistent). I remembered that a friend in Boulder Creek talked about the great experience they had at Couch Potato so decided to give them a try. Very glad I did. Jackson provided excellent customer service in assisting with choices in model/fabric/color, delivery arrangements and helping with my personal issue on one of the items. Couch Potato is of the best vendors I've ever encountered. read more

Got an amazing purple sectional when we moved to town. Of course, supply chains are terrible right now, but Couch Potato kept us informed of all delays and did eventually succeed at getting the item to us. Great price, nice people, fantastic couch. What's not to like? read more

Couch Potato is great! We found a couch that fit us perfectly (we are both short, so we didn't want a couch that was so deep our feet wouldn't touch the floor). They have a big selection and as previous reviewers have written, they have a wide choice of fabrics to choose from. Our couch was delivered in about three weeks by two super friendly guys. These guys were actually concerned about the noise from them unwrapping the couch scaring our cats, how cool is that? We went back a couple weeks ago to pick out a recliner. We found the perfect chair and look forward to receiving it soon. We like to spend our money at local businesses, and we like dealing with owners like Bruce at the Couch Potato who is a heck of a nice guy. He doesn't pressure you, he doesn't follow you around his store. He just points you in the right direction and lets you take your time shopping. We are big fans! read more

These guys were great. Prompt, professional, polite, courteous, did exactly what they said they were going to do and delivered for months ahead of time. I'm really happy with the service, and their prices were very reasonable. I would purchase a couch, sofa from them again without hesitation. I'm happy to give them five stars. Ron read more

After moving and living without a couch for almost 18 months, we decided it was time to find a couch for our new place. I am insanely glad we found Couch Potato! I went in a few times without my husband, and felt no pressure to buy anything...but was encouraged to ask questions. Once we had made the choice to buy, the staff here made it very easy. Our couch was ordered and when I checked in for an update (they told me I could call any time to see where our couch was in the process), they told me it was ready ahead of schedule. Delivery of our new couch was painless. Actually, our babysitter was here for the initial delivery and said they did an amazing job getting it up our stairs and through our small doors. The couch was assembled and room cleaned up when they left (it only took 20 minutes!!!). So far our couch has survived 6 months with two rambunctious​ boys, a crazy dog, and lots of guests! Can't recommend this place enough!! read more

We have purchased many chairs and sofas here over the past 25 years. We love this place. When Bruce, the previous owner, told us he was retiring we were so upset! BUT....Jackson, a long time employee, would be purchasing the business and Bruce assured us nothing would change. We are delighted to report Jackson provides the same high standard for customer service, quality and low pricing! I can say with certainty that no other furniture shop will stand behind their products like The Couch Potato. We had a special order arrive. We were unhappy with our choice even though the product was perfect. Jackson really went above and beyond to make sure his long time customers were happy. I would never buy sofas anywhere else. Our replacement new ones are on order! read more

I was looking for a small apartment size couch and considered ordering one online from the large online stores but was skeptical of comfort as you can't sit on them prior to ordering them. My girlfriend suggested Couch Potato because she had purchased a sofa bed from them and was very happy with her purchase. Couch Potato had exactly what I was looking for, I was able to sit and lay on it to gage it for comfort. Jackson was very helpful and we picked a material that I liked and four weeks later I had the perfect sofa. I would highly recommend them. Their delivery people were very professional and brought the sofa in and set it up for me and took away all the packing materials. Thank you Couch Potato read more

Exceptional customer service. Couch Potato has a large variety of sofas that can be customized in so many ways to fit your space/comfort. I have a somewhat unique size sectional I was shopping for and when I found the one I wanted, high grade leather, L-shaped with a storage ottoman, the price was a bit out of my budget. Jackson, the owner was beyond helpful in finding ways to accommodate my budget while still meeting the size/shape. He gave an extremely thoughtful and detailed list of options to find my perfect couch. And when I was in the shop on a Saturday, he was hustling to provide quality service to all the costumers and he is extremely knowledgeable. Go here to find a quality sofa and incredible customer service, and support local, I highly recommend. read more

I have purchased a couple of recliners over the past 5 or 6 years, service has been great, on time, professional. But last week they topped it all. My recliner with electric features, that was at least 3 years old. The controller died, I ordered a new one thru Amazon, I thought it was the wrong one so I called Couch Potato to see about getting the right one. The young man on the phone said he would stop by on his way home after the store closed! He did and used the part I had bought, (but I did not know how to instal) He did, no charge, who does things like that? No one else that I know of. Shop here with total confidence! read more

We bought a reclining couch and an area rug from Couch Potato. The couch was fine but the rug got delivered to our home, from the manufacturer, folded up in a box...so it was badly creased. Couch Potato deserves the 5 star rating I'm awarding because of how quickly, politely and thoroughly they resolved the problem, even to having the defective rug picked up from my home. You can really tell a lot about a business seeing how it addresses problems. Couch Potato is first rate! In fact, I've already purchased a replacement rug from them. Only this time I'm going to have it delivered to their store -- they always get their large rugs delivered rolled up the way they should be -- and take it home myself :). read more
