The couch should be made of tough, stain-resistant performance fabrics that are easily cleaned.

The sofas in sale we have included in our Best Buy list have been tested by Forbes Vetted panelists for their durability, comfort and ease of delivery and assembly. Panelists tested the springs as well as frames to determine if they can endure regular use. They also assessed the frame's durability, observing whether it squeaked or popped as they were moved or adjusted. They also jumped on the couches, listening for any springs that snapped or cracked, and sat in them for hours, testing out their comfort. Then, they ran cushion covers that could be washed through a wash cycle to check for shrinkage and misshapenness.
