Modern

A contemporary used sofa could be the perfect choice for your home if you're not ready to commit to a custom-made piece or don't have a large budget. Popular options include an L-shaped or sectional sofa. Both kinds can be set up to a variety of shapes to fit your space. They can be found in a variety of fabric styles and colors including neutral shades and vibrant shades. When looking for a used modern sofa, choose one with a sturdy frame. Also, ensure that the upholstery is of good quality. The cushion filling should be composed of spring coils and fiber, with feathers or down for a softness. The frame should be constructed of kiln dried wood, using mortise and tenon joinery instead of engineered lumber. The couch sets for sale should be made of durable, stain-resistant performance fabrics that are easy to clean.

Forbes Vetted panelists have evaluated the sofas on our Best Buy list for durability as well as comfort and ease of assembly and delivery. Panelists tested the springs and frames to ensure they could withstand regular use. They also measured the frame's durability, observing whether it squeaked or popped when they moved it or adjusted. They also jumped onto the single couches for sale, listening for springs that popped or snapped and then sat for hours, testing out their comfort. They also put any cushion covers they could wash through a washing cycle to see if there was shrinkage or misshapedness.

You can find a broad variety of affordable options on Craigslist or other marketplaces on the internet. You can also look for newer, refurbished models on the websites of major retailers.
