How long does a typical sofa last?

A typical sofa in Australia, including brands like Koala, Freedom, and King Living, generally lasts between 7 and 15 years depending on quality and use.

The longevity of a sofa depends largely on the quality of materials, construction, and how well it is maintained.

For instance, modern furniture brands like Koala, Freedom, and King Living use a range of materials and offer warranties; Koala sofas, for example, come with a 5-year warranty, which is typical for well-made sofas in Australia.

Regular care such as vacuuming and prompt cleaning can help maintain sofas and extend their lifespan closer to the upper end of the usual 7 to 15 year range.
