Sitting on a couch and noticing its stability will give you a good idea of how comfortable it is. Replace the cushions on your seat if they seem to be sinking and losing their shape. You should also check the quality of the springs in the seating platform. A higher number and a closer together of springs will offer the most comfortable seating experience.

A good coil spring couch should contain at least five serpentine springs for each seat cushion, while the more expensive models could contain up to nine.

The type of leather you choose will determine how comfortable your leather couch is. Top grain leather may be the most affordable and common however, it will not last as long as other types of leather. Full-grain leather has a natural appearance that appears more attractive as it ages and wears out, so it's the most durable option.

Other types of leather are semi-aniline and bonded leather. Bonded leather is cheaper than full-grain leather, but it will not last as long. Semi-aniline leather has a rich soft and silky feel, as well as an ethereal sheen, but it doesn't breathe like top-grain leather.

Another option for comfort is fabric. Fabric sofas are typically more comfortable than leather and come already "broken in." However, the kind of fabric used and the quality of the craftsmanship will determine how long the sofa will last.

Durability

Furniture that is able to stand up to the rigors and wear of a family is a major consideration for many buyers.

Microfiber is a different material that can easily show staining, and is more difficult to clean.

You can judge how durable a leather couch is by looking at the construction. Avoid couches made of bonded leather, or fake leather.

You should also pick frames with hand-tied or sinuous springs.

If you are concerned about the environment choose a leather that isn't chrome-tanned. This kind of leather has more natural appearance and is easier to maintain.
