Read on if you\u2019re looking to upgrade your sofa, are worried about its structural integrity or just can\u2019t tell if you need a new one. Plus, discover some of the ways you can recycle your old sofa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How Long Should a Sofa Last?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no hard and fast rule with how long a sofa should last, but a well-made sofa will typically last at least 15 years. You may notice the sofa deteriorating after it passes the seven-year mark, but it still has plenty of good years left in it. That isn\u2019t to say all sofas will last this amount of time. A cheaply made sofa will probably need replacing sooner, whereas a premium sofa could last a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, we offer a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/sofa-guarantee\">lifetime guarantee<\/a> on all our sofa frames, that\u2019s how confident we are in their quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-yellow-velvet-upholstery.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-yellow-velvet-upholstery-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-yellow-velvet-upholstery-1024x485.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-yellow-velvet-upholstery-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-yellow-velvet-upholstery-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-yellow-velvet-upholstery-1536x728.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-yellow-velvet-upholstery.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How to Tell If You Need a New Sofa<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A creaking frame, tired upholstery and long-gone support will all have you hunting for a new sofa. However, there are plenty more reasons you might be looking for a replacement. Read on to discover some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>If your sofa doesn\u2019t fit your home properly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When people move home, they tend to take their sofas with them. After all, the sofa was probably an investment, it suits their style and there\u2019s plenty of memories associated with it. But for all the same reasons, many people cling onto their old sofa, even when it isn\u2019t right for their space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the old sofa is too large for your new living room. Or a growing family could mean you need an even larger sofa. Maybe your old sofa is so deep it leaves little space to walk past it. Or perhaps you found yourself with one-too-many sofas and it\u2019s time to whittle down your collection. Whatever the reason, if your old sofa isn\u2019t cutting the mustard then it may be time to invest in a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-in-a-modern-home.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-in-a-modern-home-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"Heal's well-made sofa in a modern home\" class=\"wp-image-27242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-in-a-modern-home-1024x485.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-in-a-modern-home-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-in-a-modern-home-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-in-a-modern-home-1536x728.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-in-a-modern-home.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. If your sofa doesn\u2019t offer enough support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you bought your sofa, it was probably ergonomically designed and offered brilliant padding and support. However, this tends to get worse over the years and can make your sofa uncomfortable. Not only is this bad for your body and posture, but a supportless sofa also makes for unpleasant sitting. If this is the case with your sofa, you might need a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you still like your sofa and its upholstery is in good condition, then you could always get it restuffed. Going to a specialist upholsterer is by far the best way to do this. Not only do they know their craft, but they\u2019ll also know the best materials to use. You can always try refilling it yourself if your sofa has removable covers, but we\u2019d definitely suggest finding a specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>If your interior design tastes have changed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trends and tastes change over time, so it\u2019s no wonder your sofa might feel outdated now. Perhaps it\u2019s got a huge floral pattern that was fashionable in the 80s but not today. Or maybe you opted for a colour that was \u2018in\u2019 ten years ago that you can\u2019t stand in 2021. Either way, if you really don\u2019t like your old sofa anymore, it\u2019s probably time for a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing your next sofa, we recommend taking your time to find one that you know you\u2019ll love for years. Once you\u2019ve found the perfect sofa, you could even sleep on the idea for a week or so, just to be sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"Heal's well-made sofa\" class=\"wp-image-27243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-1024x485.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-1536x728.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t just take your old sofa to the skip, there are plenty of second-hand shops or resale websites where it can find a new home. Just because it isn\u2019t to your taste, that doesn\u2019t mean someone else won\u2019t love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. If your sofa\u2019s upholstery has seen better days<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your upholstery is looking a little worse for wear, that suggests you may need a new sofa. Sofas go through a lot; from kids bouncing on it to years and years of pets snuggling up with you. Repairing the odd fray or repadding it can help in the short term, but both could be signs your upholstery is on the way out. And potentially your sofa with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you still love the silhouette and style of your sofa, then reupholstering it is a great option. We\u2019d highly recommend enlisting the services of a specialist reupholstery company to take on the task. Sure, you can give it a go yourself, but since upholstery fabric can get quite pricey, any mistake you make could be pretty pricey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-close-up-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-close-up-1-1024x485.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-close-up-1-1024x485.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-close-up-1-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-close-up-1-768x364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-close-up-1-1536x728.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.heals.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Heals-well-made-sofa-close-up-1.jpg 1900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve invested in a new sofa or reupholstering your existing sofa, there are ways to keep it looking as good as new. For example, direct sunlight can fade your sofa\u2019s upholstery and weaken the fabric\u2019s structure. One way to prevent this is to move the sofa to a new position every year or so. This helps to make sure the sofa gets an even amounts of sunlight. Spillages are also big concerns for upholstery. To prevent staining, spot clean each spillage as soon as possible. Then, a professional upholstery cleaning every few years will keep the sofa in good nick and help with any odours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>If your sofa won\u2019t stop creaking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you sit down on your sofa and hear it creaking or making popping noises, its structure might be damaged. If possible, take a look under the sofa to check everything looks ok. Or you could enlist the services of a furniture specialist to offer their professional opinion. Unfortunately fixing a sofa\u2019s structural damage can be a costly process so a new sofa might be on the cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a new sofa that\u2019s already creaking, don\u2019t panic. New furniture will often creak or squeak to begin with. That\u2019s because it\u2019s adjusting to use, the room\u2019s temperature and the sofa\u2019s suspension system. It should subside in a few weeks or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investing in a new sofa?
