We see you out there, citizens of the Internet, all you singles trying to #Netflixandchill your way to a long-term relationship. If #Netflixandchill is how you snag a bae, then #HGTVandchill is what happens when you graduate into adulting together. The folks at ATTN: coined this idea and we're totally on board.

Before you embark on your #HGTVandchill session, however, make sure you have these essentials on hand.

1: A comfy couch. No chill can be had on a stiff sofa. You want a couch that's so soft that it swallows you whole. These oversized sofas are a good place to start.
