Which type of sofa is long-lasting?
1 Answer

There are many types of sofas that are long-lasting. The durability of a sofa depends on both its materials and its construction. Some features that can help sofas stand the test of time include solid wood frames, hand-tied spring suspension systems and quality foam padding. In terms of upholstery, leather usually outlasts fabric, but there are exceptions to the rule based on quality and care. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of sofas.
