The average life span of a couch is seven to 20 years. If your couch shows certain signs, it might be time for replacement. Look for flat and unsupportive cushions, stained or worn fabric, loud noises, and pest problems to know when to replace your couch.
A good recliner can last up to 10 years on average. If your recliner is more of an ornamental and infrequently used piece, it may last 15 years or longer. When buying a recliner for everyday use, consider those crafted from microfiber or leather. These recliners have a higher price tag, but they're more durable and can withstand more frequent use.
Periodically scheduling professional cleaning for your furniture can help maintain the color and appearance of your upholstery and prolong its lifespan. Furniture cleaning eliminates various stains, dirt, odors, and germs, reducing allergens and other particles to keep your home’s air healthy.
