Since living room furniture plays such a central role in your home, it’s important to keep all the pieces in tip-top condition. As the couch is often the most-used furniture item in a living room, it’s likely to need replacing more frequently than, say, an end table. But how long should your couch last before you need a new one? The professionals at Cincinnati’s Bova Contemporary Furniture have been providing high-quality, contemporary pieces for every room in the house to area residents since 1985.

Every aspect makes a difference in the life of your couch. Usage is, of course, the biggest culprit when it comes to wear and tear. So if you have children or pets frequently jumping on your living room furniture, it’s less likely to last for a long time. User weight makes a difference as well. To preserve pieces as long as possible, avoid using them too much or going over the weight limit. 

Generally, if you’ve had your couch for more than 20 years or if the cushions no longer provide support and its fabric is increasingly showing signs of wear and tear, it’s time to buy a new one. Remember: Base your purchase on quality, how much usage the couch will get at home, and price, not just one of these factors.
