The start of the new football season can mean only one thing: Will your sofa last another season? Next to beds, the sofas in family rooms are the most active pieces of furniture in our homes. As a result, they take a lot of weight and a lot of spills over the years. Maybe it’s time for you to swap out your old couch for something more comfortable and accommodating. At the very least it would be stain free! Before you head out to sofa shop, you’ll want to keep a few tips in mind to help you pick the best sofa for your home.
Although the look and cushion feel are important, one of the first things you really want to consider is the frame. Without a sturdy frame even the best-looking couch will crumble after a year or two. Top of the line sofa frames would be ones made of hardwood like oak, ash or beech. What you want to avoid is anything made of particleboard, plastic or metal. Yes, those frames are less expensive but you’ll be replacing that kind of sofa a lot sooner. You should never buy a sofa whose frame is held together with staples, nails or glue alone. Look for durable wooden dowels for the joinery.
For the best cushion filling a lot of goose and ducks will be giving up their feathers. Typically, foam is used in most cushions. Here you want to look for high-resilient foam as opposed to high-density. For the textile your best bet is a synthetic microfiber. These fabrics are crafted in a variety of colors and patterns. Best of all they can be treated for stain resistance. Before settling on a sofa, ask for a swatch of the fabric so you can see how it will hold up in the rest of your room.
After all of that you’ve still got one more thing to think about: How to get rid of the old sofa. Too often folks just take an old sofa and shove it down a basement or into the garage. In some cases they end up on back porches. The worst-case scenario is when a sofa gets dumped into an alley. That’s just careless.
