I don't actually want a pull out in mine, as those are bloody heavy to move around. High enough back and arm rests to make it comfy for upright movie watching and horizontal book reading are a must though. I'm leaning away from black - when I had my black velvet couch it showed up every speck of lint and I'd have to vacuum it regularly. I want a solid colour, but I'm leaning toward grey right now, or burgundy. As much as leather would be easy to clean, I hate sliding off of it, so cloth it shall be. :)
I used to have a cat (RIP Scooter), she was an orange & white kitty that had her own little puddle of white fur on a corner of my black couch. :) Because I was allergic to her, I'd vacuum once a week without fail. After an afternoon of sitting on various couches, I found the one I wanted and was told that the colour I desire entails a custom order and a 1.5-2 month wait. :/ Couch shopping is not for those who require immediate gratification.
