The average lifespan of a couch is 7-15 years. However, the life of your couch depends on its quality, the way you use it, and multiple other factors. Therefore, in some cases, you should replace your couch before its life warranty is up. But how would you know that you need to replace your old couch?

Here are some signs it’s time to remove your old couch and get a new one.

Creaking Noises

Do you hear squeaking, creaking or popping sounds every time someone sits or gets up from your couch? If yes, then your couch has some serious structural damage. Furniture is usually made from hardwood, screws, staples, etc., which can get damaged over time.

The metal springs can weaken, and the joints on the wooden frame may develop some problems, resulting in these noises. Some people might consider fixing the couch instead of replacing it. However, the cost is almost the same, and it’s quire challenging to fix structural issues on a couch.

Flat Couch Cushions

Are you disappointed by the flat couch cushions on your couch? That’s a truly uncomfortable experience. Flat couch cushions offer minimal lumbar support, and you won’t be able to rest properly on a couch with a flat, barely-there surface. Buying a new couch will ensure you get a comfortable seating experience.

Sofa Itching

You might be surprised to know this, but old couches start causing sofa itching. This usually happens when the fabric roughens over time, causing red welts over your arms and legs. Moreover, if you feel constant itching every time you sit on the couch, it might have bed bugs. Instead of spending money and time on getting rid of the bed bugs, get a new couch.

Unpleasant Odor

People sitting and kids playing on the couch can lead to build-up of sweat, resulting in unpleasant odor in the couch’s padding. Moreover, people often spill some beverages on the couch, and the traces remain even after you scrub at the mattress for hours.

Regularly vacuuming your couch and steam cleaning it occasionally might help you remove the odor temporarily, but at one point, the unpleasant odor will prevail. If your couch smells terrible even after cleaning, it’s time to get a new one.
