The Complete Sofa Buying Guide for Arlington, TX
Buying a sofa is one of the biggest furniture investments you'll make — the average American household spends between $800 and $2,500 on a new sofa. Whether you're searching for "cheap sofas near me" or hunting for a premium deal, understanding what separates a sofa that lasts a decade from one that sags in two years will save you money and frustration.
Here in Arlington, Texas, our climate plays a role too. The DFW area's high humidity (averaging 65–75% in summer) means certain materials hold up better than others. Leather breathes well and resists humidity-related mildew, while untreated natural fabrics can absorb moisture and develop odors faster.
This guide covers the five key decisions every sofa buyer needs to make: type, material, size, budget, and where to buy. By the end, you'll know exactly what to look for — and what to avoid.
Frame Quality
Kiln-dried hardwood frames (oak, maple, beech) last 15+ years. Avoid particle board, plastic, or untreated pine — they warp and crack within 3–5 years.
Cushion Density
Look for foam density of 1.8 lb/ft³ or higher. Higher density = less sagging. Down-wrapped foam cores offer the best balance of comfort and durability.
Spring System
8-way hand-tied springs are the gold standard. Sinuous wire springs are a solid mid-range option. Webbing-only suspension is budget-grade and wears fastest.
Upholstery Fabric
Measured in 'double rubs' — 15,000+ is light use, 25,000+ is family-grade, 50,000+ is commercial. Performance fabrics offer stain resistance built into the fiber.
Seat Depth & Height
Standard seat depth is 20–22 inches (deeper for lounging). Seat height of 17–19 inches suits most adults. Test in-store — online specs can be misleading.
Total Cost of Ownership
Factor in delivery ($50–$200), fabric protection ($100–$300), and eventual reupholstery. A $1,200 sofa lasting 10 years costs $10/month — better value than a $600 sofa lasting 3.
Types of Sofas: Which One Is Right for You?

Sofa Size & Measurement Guide
The #1 mistake sofa buyers make is ordering the wrong size. Here's how to measure your space and choose the right sofa dimensions for your Arlington home.
📏 How to Measure Your Room
- Measure wall-to-wall width where the sofa will sit
- Subtract 6 inches on each side for visual breathing room
- Mark walkway space — leave 18–24 inches between sofa and coffee table, 36 inches for main walkways
- Measure doorways and hallways — your sofa needs to fit through them on delivery day
- Use painter's tape to outline the sofa footprint on your floor before purchasing

How to Get the Best Deal on a Sofa in Arlington
Finding a cheap sofa doesn't mean settling for low quality. Here are proven strategies to get the most value for your budget at Furniture Mart and other Arlington furniture stores.
✅ Shop Holiday Sales
Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Black Friday are the biggest furniture sale events. Discounts of 30–50% off MSRP are standard. At Furniture Mart, we run sales year-round — but holiday weekends offer our deepest discounts.
✅ Consider Floor Models
Floor model and clearance sofas are typically 40–60% off retail. Minor cosmetic imperfections are common but don't affect comfort or durability. Ask our staff about current floor model availability.
✅ Use Financing Strategically
Zero-interest financing lets you buy a higher-quality sofa and pay over time. A $1,500 sofa at 0% over 36 months is just $42/month — and you get a piece that lasts 3× longer than a $500 alternative.
✅ Compare Cost Per Year
A $1,200 sofa lasting 10 years costs $120/year. A $500 sofa lasting 3 years costs $167/year. The 'cheap' sofa is actually more expensive over time. Always calculate cost per year of expected use.
✅ Bundle for Discounts
Buying a sofa + loveseat set or a complete living room package often saves 15–25% compared to individual purchases. Ask about our bundle deals at Furniture Mart.
✅ Skip Unnecessary Extras
Fabric protection sprays ($100–$300) are often unnecessary on performance fabrics. Extended warranties may not cover the most common issues (normal wear). Invest that money in a better sofa instead.
Sofa Care & Maintenance: Make Your Sofa Last
A well-maintained sofa can last 10–15 years. Here are the essential care tips every sofa owner in Arlington should follow — especially given our hot, humid Texas climate.
Rotate and flip cushions monthly
Even wear prevents one side from sagging prematurely. Reversible cushions should be flipped and rotated every 2–4 weeks for even compression.
Vacuum weekly with an upholstery attachment
Removes dust, crumbs, and pet hair that grind into fabric fibers and accelerate wear. Pay attention to crevices between cushions and armrests.
Keep out of direct sunlight
UV rays fade fabric and dry out leather. Position your sofa away from south-facing windows, or use UV-filtering curtains. Arlington's intense summer sun is especially harsh on colored fabrics.
Clean spills immediately — don't rub, blot
Rubbing pushes stains deeper into fibers. Blot with a clean, white cloth working from the outside in. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and apply conditioner after drying.
Condition leather twice yearly
Leather conditioner prevents cracking and maintains the natural oils that keep leather soft and supple. Apply in spring and fall. Use a product specifically designed for furniture-grade leather.
Use armrest covers in high-traffic spots
Armrests wear out fastest because they support weight when sitting and standing. Removable, washable covers add years of life to your sofa's most vulnerable areas.
