Amazon Smart Plug Review: One Less Reason to Get Out of Bed
Personally Tested • Early Impressions
My bed is high. Once I’m comfortable, climbing back out because I forgot to turn off the lamp gets old fast.
Before getting my Amazon Smart Plug, I’d either get up or reach for my phone to control the light through the Govee app. Now I just ask Alexa. No finding my phone, opening an app, or making another trip out of bed.
It’s a small convenience, but it solves something that annoyed me every day.
Illustrative product photo — Abby’s own photos coming soon. Easy setup—and a name I can remember
Setting it up was very easy. You can name the plug in the Alexa app, then use that name when asking Alexa to turn it on or off.
So far, it’s worked reliably for me. I haven’t had connection problems or found anything I dislike.
What I’ve actually tested
I bought two plugs and currently use one for my bedroom lamp. These are my early impressions of that setup; I haven’t tested a whole house full of them.
My take
I like this plug because it makes an ordinary task easier. Once I’m settled in bed, being able to ask Alexa to handle the lamp is enough to make me appreciate it.
My only problem so far? Now I want more of them.

Ashley Stupendous Sectional Review: Teddy-Bear Comfort, Oversized Cushions, and the Moving-Day Catch
Personally Tested
Product photo of the Stupendous sectional and matching oversized chair — not a photo of Abby’s own home. Some couches are for sitting politely. This one is for getting comfortable and canceling your plans.
My Signature Design by Ashley Stupendous 3-piece sectional is huge, fluffy, and a statement piece. Sitting on it feels like sitting on a teddy bear. But beyond that first impression, here’s what I’ve noticed about sleeping on it, washing the covers, maintaining the cushions, and moving something this big.
My quick take
If you want oversized cushions and a couch you can stretch out and sleep on comfortably, those are the things I love about mine. The trade-offs are its size, its weight when moving, and finding enough room to hang the washed covers to dry.
I ordered my sectional in December 2024, along with the matching oversized chair. That is my order date, rather than a confirmed delivery date. This review focuses on the sectional.
The comfort: big, fluffy, and made for stretching out
The big cushions and fluffy fabric are what make this couch feel so cozy to me. It has a substantial presence in the room, so it’s as much a statement piece as a place to sit.
It’s also comfortable enough that sleeping on it feels like sleeping in a bed. That’s my experience using it as a couch to sleep on, rather than a claim that it has a pull-out mattress.
Washing the covers
The removable cushion covers are a feature I appreciate. The care label on mine calls for a gentle wash and hang drying. I’ve washed and hung mine to dry, and they did great—they looked fresh again afterward.
The tricky part was figuring out where to hang them. These covers are big. Before you start washing, decide where you’ll spread them out or hang them to dry. That would have saved me some figuring-it-out-with-wet-covers-in-hand time.
I check the care label on my own pieces before washing — that’s what I go by for mine.
Holding up after almost two years
Almost two years in, the cushions still hold their shape and feel comfortable. According to my December 2024 order date, mine is just under two years old. The fabric has held up well, though I check it for signs of wear as time goes on.
I got the matching oversized chair, and it is comfortable. That’s my experience with the chair; I haven’t written a full review of it. The review above is focused on the sectional.
The moving-day catch
This is a big couch.
That said, when I think about moving it, its size and weight stand out. I would say it is not an easy couch to move, and if you move often, that trade-off matters.
If you move often, consider the weight and access through your doorways before choosing a setup this large.
Who I’d suggest it for
I’d suggest the Stupendous sectional if you want a large, oversized couch and you have the room for it. If you have a smaller space or move often, I think a smaller or lighter piece makes more sense.
My verdict on the Stupendous sectional
Given what I like — oversized cushions, a comfy place to sleep, and a couch that feels like a teddy bear — this sectional fits how I actually relax at home. The trade-off is its size and weight, and how much room the washed covers need to hang dry. That’s worth knowing up front.
