How Long Do Recliner Sofas Last?

It is not uncommon for customers who visit our showroom to ask, how long do reclining sofas last?

Interior design styles come and go, but reclining sofas have stood the test of time. These sofas are exquisite and are considered timeless classics. With nearly 40 years of experience in luxury furniture, we can tell you what to consider when buying a new recliner sofa and show you how long your sofa could last.

What is the average lifespan of a recliner sofa?

The lifespan of a regularly used recliner sofa is difficult to determine. In general, the lifespan of any piece of furniture depends on the type of material it's made out of and how well it is cared for.

High-quality recliner sofas typically last seven to fifteen years, depending on how frequently they are used. Proper care and maintenance also play a huge role in ensuring that your recliner sofa lasts a long time.

How to properly care for your recliner sofa

The lifespan of a reclining sofa can be extended by taking proper care of it. Recliner sofas need to be kept out of direct sunlight and away from moisture sources like rain or snow. Try to avoid having pets on your sofa.

If you're looking to keep your furniture in pristine condition, follow these tips to keep your recliner sofa looking as great as the day you bought it.

1. Cleaning

Clean your recliner regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Do not use abrasive sponges or brushes, as they can damage the upholstery.

2. Vacuuming

You should vacuum your recliner at least once a week to prevent dust from settling into the fabric and cushions. This is especially important if you have pets or small children in the house.

3. Protect your sofa from food or drinks

Always slot placemats under food or drinks when using your recliner to avoid stains and spills on your upholstery. Remember that if you do spill something on it - even if it's just water - it's best to blot it off immediately with a towel.

Signs that it's time to replace your reclining sofa

1. The cushions are no longer comfortable:

• When the cushions on your sofa are flattened, it's time to replace the sofa.
• If you have a soft, pliable cushion, it's probably time to replace the sofa.

2. The wood is damaged:

• If you see peeling or cracking wood, it's time to replace the sofa.

3. You can't easily move it around:

• If you're struggling to lift and move your sofa, it's probably time to replace it with a new one that is lighter in weight and easier to manoeuvre.
