Selecting a Couch for Your Gainesville Apartment

It’s important to find a comfortable couch for your apartment. Whether you plan using it to relax after work, watch T.V., or play a board game with friends, there’s a lot to consider when deciding on the right couch for you. The first thing you need to decide is your budget, which will affect where you look for your couch. If you’re not looking to spend too much, garage sales, moving sales, thrift stores and Craigslist are all great places to look for inexpensive used couches. If you’ve got a larger budget, there are many furniture stores and outlets that are guaranteed to have a large selection of great couches. Most furniture stores also have a clearance section that’s full of last year’s styles and slightly damaged couches. Shop around a bit and take pictures of a several different options you like that are in your budget.

Once you have your couch candidates, it’s time to narrow the field. Consider how well your couch will fit in your Gainesville apartment. While a new leather couch may be great for a young bachelor or bachelorette, if you have pets or small children, there’s a much higher chance of it being spilled on, ripped or suffering other damaging accidents. A better choice might be a couch with removable, machine washable cushion covers. The same consideration should go into the type of activities you enjoy on your couch. Features like a pull-out bed may be a nice feature if you need extra space for guests, but as seats lose their cushion over the years, the bed frame can make it less comfortable to sit and enjoy your T.V. shows.
