How old is your sofa?
Comments (51)I have a Century English arm sofa in a chenille type fabric that is about 15 years old. I bought it from a doctor who was never home to sit on it about 5 years ago. It seemed in perfect condition. We sit on it daily for hours. It is no longer comfortable. I think the foam has worn out or something. When I called my Century dealer to get replacement cushions the price was $1300 to replace 2 spring down seat cushions on an 84 inch sofa. About $800 to replace with foam. I kept wondering what will go next? For that price I could move on to a new sofa, at least a hefty down payment. I ended up buying a MSRP $4500 small Stickley sofa on clearance for $1600 delivered. It is 8-way hand tied, spring down cushions, and Crypton. It has a small scale that fits my odd rooms. I am going to order a sheet of firm (2.8?) foam from the internet for the old Century for about $125 from the internet. It is a 6 inch thick sheet. I will trace and saw out my own replacement cushions and see if it doesn’t buy me another 5 years with it. At the very least it should be better than this original foam. The Century will be moved to the den as a home office sofa. I am currently planning a whole living room redo. This will prob take some time as I’m very slow and budget minded and DIY the things I can. I will get a new sofa I think, the Stickley will move to the office, and the Century will move to someone else’s home if it’s still alive at that point. Prior to this we had a leather Chateau D’Ax or something like that. Cheap from Macy’s. Pirelli webbing. Not well made. But! It held up to a family and 2 dogs and a cat for 10 solid years, another 5 not as solid. The leather ripped down the center of the middle seat and it got hauled away by junk removal. Junk removal cost me $125 on a groupon. Good times....See MoreShow me your traditional neutral (beige/tan) sofas
Comments (8)jyyanks, I love the style of your sofa and color, but I think I want something a little darker tan. THat is also the color direction I am looking at going in for the time being to coordinate with my DR and Kitchen. It also looks like a good color to switch out a few accessories and go into another "new look" in the future. Kiko, I have been looking at Clayton Marcus, Temple, and Smith Brothers (a very good quality, reasonably priced, not well advertised). With these brands I can get a sofa and LS for around $3,000 - $3,500. I will look at Lee also. I have found a few fabrics that I like which are almost too golden tan, many have a red thread woven into them, which I like but could limit me in the future. I have learned my lesson over the years (finally) about limiting myself to certain colors! Anyone else have suggestions/inspiration pics??

Comments (49)Pleased to report an update! a few weeks ago, i echoed several negative reviews of the Pottery Barn Pearce sectional sofa. after contacting the company and sharing my experience, I am pleased to report that they are making it right! my faith in their customer service has been renewed and strengthened. while I hope they're able to correct the quality issues with this beautiful sofa in the future, I am delighted they are standing by their customer. In the meantime I look forward to trying another sofa with better reviews. I appreciate the positive comments about the PB Basic styles, as im leaning that direction And again, their slip covers are amazing! I will always be a fan!...See MoreScared to buy a sofa: Please share your preferences for features!
Comments (12)I like the look of a sectional, but the only thing I've ever had is a sofa + loveseat. I don't really have a reason. Perhaps they're easier to rearrange? Go with attached cushions. They stay in place. Yes to leather. I'll never own anything else. I've been in my house 20 years -- bought the sofa the year we moved in. In the last year it's just started to show some wear. Just started. Note that some (cheaper) leather sofas use a fake-leather on the BACK and/or SIDES of the sofa. Maybe this is okay if your sofa is going to sit against a wall, but if it's going to be "floated" in the middle of a room, you'll want the back of the sofa to be quality stuff too. The better leather sofas are ALL leather. My sofa is Bassett. It was expensive, but this is a place where you get what you pay for. I have another sofa in "the kids' room" that has two recliners. The recliners are comfortable, but the sofa isn't comfortable to lay down /take a nap. You can feel the supports in the middle -- only if you lie down. Obvious: A sofa is a big, expensive item. Stay neutral and decorate around it....See MoreRelated Professionals
