A contemporary used sofa could be the perfect fit for your home if you're not ready to invest in a custom-made piece or don't have a big budget. Popular options include the sectional sofa and an L-shaped sofa. Both kinds of sofas can be made to suit your needs. They also come in a variety of designs and colors, including a wide range of neutrals and vibrant shades. When looking for a used modern sofa, look for one with a sturdy frame. Also, ensure that the upholstery is of top quality. The cushion filling should be a combination of supportive spring coils and fiber with feathers or down for softness. The frame should be made of kiln dried wood using mortise and Tenon joinery instead of engineered lumber. The couch should be made of durable, stain-resistant performance fabrics that are easy to clean.
The sofas in our Best Buy list have been tested by Forbes Vetted panelists for their durability, comfort and ease of assembly and delivery. Panelists inspected the springs and frames to ensure they could be used regularly. They also assessed the frame's durability, noting whether it popped or creaked as they were moved or adjusted. They also jumped onto the couches, observing any springs that snapped or cracked, and sat in them for hours, testing out their comfort. Then, they ran cushion covers that were washable through a washing cycle to determine if they shrink and sagging.
