Buying Quality Used Couches For Sale

Used couches for sale are popular, as more than 12,000,000 pieces of furniture are discarded each year. Secondhand furniture is more sustainable for the earth and rare finds are usually cheaper than the mass-market options.

Buyers who are smart are aware that clear descriptions and photos of high-quality are crucial when shopping on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, or more specific marketplaces like Chairish or AptDeco.

The sofas in our Best Buy list have been evaluated by Forbes Vetted panelists to determine their durability, comfort, and ease of delivery and assembly. The panelists measured how sturdy the frames are, and recorded whether they squeaked or popped when moved or adjusted, and checked the springs to be sure they could withstand regular use. They also jumped on the couches, listening for springs that popped or snapped and then sat for hours, testing out their comfort. They also put any cushions they could wash through a cycle to see if there was shrinkage or misshapedness.

While many of the contemporary used sofas featured in our Best Buy guide are made by high-end manufacturers, you can find some top-quality, affordable options on Craigslist and other marketplaces on the internet. You can also search for refurbished, newer models on the websites of major retailers.
