The sofas in our Best Buy list have been evaluated by Forbes Vetted panelists to determine their durability as well as comfort, and ease of delivery and assembly. The panelists assessed how strong the frames are, logging whether they popped or creaked when they were moved or adjusted, and checked the springs to be sure they lasted regular use. They also jumped on couches, listening for any springs that snapped or cracked and then sat for hours, testing their comfort. They also ran any cushion covers they could wash through a washing cycle to check for shrinkage or misshapedness.
