To ask how old your sofa is?

[Pintsizedrudy]

Purchasing a new property with DP, we currently have a blue bulky recliner sofa. It only seats two people. I want to get a new bigger one, that isn’t blue or pleather, he says i’m being unreasonable as the sofa is only 2 years old…

I was scrolling the sofology website and they’re giving 20 year guarantees on sofas- i couldn’t imagine having mine for that long!

How old is your sofa and how often do you replace it?

Mine is only a few months old. The one before that we only had for about 3 years but we moved house and wanted new decor and I just didn't like the old one anymore.

2 years. The ones we replaced were about 12 years old.

We had this same thread recently. Sell yours or chuck it if you want to replace it.
We had our last sofa for over 20 years.

17 years and still as good as new!

Last one we had for 20 years

Bought in 2004-they are looking a bit shabby now but still v comfortable.

Sofa I’m currently sat on was bought last year

The other one is about 15 years old and boy does it look it, we are just about to move house so im hoping we get a new one very soon!

About 20 years old, but we’re sticking with it and just about to reupholster because it was made to match our vintage armchairs.

13 years - they do need replacing but won't do it until the kids are older and (hopefully) less messy

Ours are over 15 years old. They're not exactly show home ready but they still look decent and with 3 kids and a dog I am in no hurry to replace!

8 months old. but they replaced second hand ones that were around 12 years old.
The one in the study is 30 years old.

I bought mine second hand 12 years ago, I think it was a couple of years old when I bought it.
It's still comfortable although we are considering getting it recovered.

My parents have had theirs for over 40 years, though they have had it reupholstered twice so it might be like Trigger's broom at this point.

18 years old. Leather and still looks good. I'm not sure a fabric one would have done, as we went through the toddler years though.

No plans to replace it in the near future.

Year old atm, before that it was 6 year old.
Only reason being we changed our deco quite drastically otherwise would have kept them!

2 from Sofa Warehouse that are about 15 years old but look brand new and 2 from Marks and Spencer that are about 10 years old and still look newish.

I wouldn’t be impressed if my partner wanted to replace a two year old sofa.

11 years and I’ve not replaced it yet. There’s still lots of life left in it and we deliberately didn’t buy a fashionable colour / shape

Current one is about 3 years (and a keeper).
It replaced one I'd paid a lot for and only had for two years - but I HATED it. It was cream leather - huge mistake. Freezing in winter, stuck to it in summer and always looked grubby.
Life is too short to be living on a sofa you hate!

We're in our house 20yrs and are on our 3rd sofa (which is less than 2 years old) - so I guess we're averaging 9-10 years for a sofa.

17 years here too and still OK. I can see it might need replacing in a few years time but I'd go for something similar.

One is 3.5 years old and the other is 1.5 years. Both are doing very well, I hope we don't need to replace them for some time yet!

Bought mine a few months back, before that was my mums old ones so 10+ years!

5 years old, still look great.

10 years old and part of it id in pieces. The “leather” has picked off.

Can’t wait to buy a new corner fabric sofa next summer and decorate the room.

nearly 11 years ago, from scs and is still in ok condition

The sofa and armchair in the sitting room are about 20 years old. They’re being reupholstered next month as we’re redoing that room. I expect them to last for at least another decade.
The corner sofa in the den is about 3 years old but that didn’t replace anything - I expect to keep it for about 10 - 15 years.
