Stephanie, the best couch/loveseat combo I found for a ferret household was
one that didn't have any legs.  The "frame" was made out of stiff foam.
They could climb onto it, and under the cushions, but that was about it.
If the couch/loveseat has legs, you might want to take the legs off and
nail/staple plywood to the bottom.  I know there's a back issue of Modern
Ferret that has instructions on how to do it, but I can't remember which
one.
