Question
Shalom,
Is there any problem for a couple to sit on a sofa that has two cushions when there is a single stretch cover over them? Is this considered as one bench, and if not, is it still permitted when they can feel each other?
Answer
Shalom u’vracha.
What is decisive is whether they feel one another’s sitting or not.
Therefore, sometimes a shared cover over two cushions causes them to feel the other’s sitting. It all depends on the specific situation.
