My 2 have never been allowed on the furniture - they are outside alot, and really do drag in a lot of dirt. Also, SU doesn't want them up on it, so they're not. If I lived alone, they would be on the furniture on blankets, and in the bedroom on their own beds ( not mine). I know that Emilu will occassionally sleep on the couch, because she always puts the pillow on the floor and fluffs up the blanket - she jumps off and greets me at the bedroom door so I don't SEE her on the couch, but if I go and check, there's still a nice, warm spot

I also let her put her front legs up on me when I'm laying on the couch and we "chat", but she's not allowed to put her feet on the couch. (now how did she learn that the couch is a nice spot to sleep?) Skippy is too big and awkward to even try to get up on the couch or chairs.
