Buying Quality Used Couches For Sale

With more than 12 million pieces of furniture discarded every year, couches are sought-after. Secondhand furniture is better for the environment and often cheaper than mass-market alternatives.

Buyers who are smart know that detailed descriptions and high-quality photos can make a huge difference, whether they're shopping on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, or more specific marketplaces like Chairish or AptDeco.

Modern

If you don't want to spend much money on a custom-made piece or are on a tight budget, a modern used sofa could be the ideal option for your home. Popular options include an L-shaped or sectional sofa. Both types can be configured in a variety of forms to fit your space. These couches are available in a variety of fabrics and colors, including neutral shades and vibrant colors. When shopping for a modern used 3 seater sofa sale, focus on a couch with a sturdy frame and high-quality upholstery. The cushion filling should be a mix between spring coils for support and fibers, along with feathers or duck down for softness. The frame should be made of kiln dried wood using mortise-and-tenon joinery rather than engineered lumber. The couch should be constructed of stain-resistant, durable performance fabrics that can be easily cleaned.

The cheap sofas for sale under 200 on our Best Buy list have been tested by Forbes Vetted panelists to determine their durability, comfort, and ease of delivery and assembly. The panelists weighed how durable the frames are, and recorded whether they squeaked or popped when they were moved or adjusted and also checked the springs to be sure they lasted regular use. They also jumped onto the couches, observing any springs that snapped or cracked and then sat for hours, testing their comfort. They also ran any cushion covers they could wash through a washing cycle to determine if they were shrinking or asymmetry.

You can find a broad variety of affordable alternatives on Craigslist and other marketplaces on the internet. You can also search for newer, used models on the websites of major retailers.

For instance, you can buy a brand new or gently used emerald Green sectional from Pottery Barn for just under $2,000 and a new, navy blue recliner from Wayfair for less than $3000. If you're willing to take more of a risk, you may be able to find an older model on Craigslist for just a fraction of the price. Be sure to check out the seller's past and ask about any issues they may have before you buy.
