Couple Comfort and Motion-Transfer Specialist
Jenna Brooks, in her mid 30s and around 5'7" with a medium build near 160 pounds, anchors the team’s focus on shared spaces. She rarely uses a sofa, sectional, or mattress alone. Most evenings, she and her partner, Ethan, share the same seating or sleeping surface.
That reality makes her highly sensitive to how furniture handles two adults at once—how much movement travels, how much usable width exists, and whether both people can get comfortable without negotiating for space.
On sofas, Jenna shifts between the middle seats, corners, and chaise sections, depending on what Ethan is doing. If he stretches out, she adapts. If he sits upright, she may lean into an armrest or claim the opposite corner with a blanket and book.
On mattresses, she tracks how much she feels partner movement when Ethan turns, gets in or out of bed, or returns late at night. She notices subtle differences in how motion travels across foam versus coils and which edges feel safe to sleep near without rolling off.
Jenna’s review lens centers on:
-
Motion transfer and disturbance – She rates how much she feels each movement from her partner in real shared-night scenarios.
-
Shared space and layout – She checks whether both people can lounge without colliding knees or fighting over the best seat.
-
Edge comfort for couples – She pays attention to how the outer seats feel when both users occupy the full width of a sofa or bed.
-
Ease of repositioning – She evaluates whether cushions make it easy to roll, scoot, or switch positions without struggle.
Her comments often sound like questions couples ask in real life: “Can we both stretch out on this chaise?” or “Do I feel every time he grabs a snack?”
When not testing, Jenna enjoys movie nights, long conversations, and casual hosting. Her living room usually includes throw blankets, multiple lighting options, and a sofa that must handle everything from quiet evenings to game-night crowds.
She cares about design, but she cares more about how people actually use a room. She notices whether guests cluster around certain seating pieces and whether anyone avoids a chair or sofa because it feels awkward or uncomfortable. Those observations nourish her sense of what makes a piece “couple-friendly” or “family-ready” rather than purely decorative.
Within the team, Jenna serves as the anchor for couple-centric testing. She and Ethan run repeatable motion-transfer routines—one person moving, the other rating disturbance with eyes closed.
Her insights often balance Marcus’s and Mia’s solos. A sofa that works well for a single tall user may still fail if two people cannot find comfortable positions at the same time. A mattress that isolates motion well may still feel cramped if the edges collapse. Jenna’s notes bring those interactions into clear focus, helping couples understand how products behave during real shared use.
