The sofas on our Best Buy list have been tested by Forbes Vetted panelists to determine their durability, comfort, and ease of assembly and delivery. The panelists assessed how strong the frames are, and recorded whether they popped or creaked when moved or adjusted and then tested the springs to make sure they held up to regular use. They also jumped onto couches and listened to the springs that snapped or popped. They were seated for hours to check their comfort. They also put any cushions they could wash through a cycle to see if there was shrinkage or asymmetry.
