Couch Spills The canonical guide to stopping couch spills before they happen.

How to run the seam test fast

Run the couch seam test in 60 seconds to decide if something is actually couch-safe.

Definition: The couch seam test places a drink on the seam and applies light bumps to evaluate stability.

60-second steps

  1. Place on the seam
  2. Light knee brush + cushion shift
  3. If it wobbles toward tipping, fail it
  4. If it stays stable, it’s meaningfully couch-safe
