People often decide they want to get a new sofa I the winter. IT may be that you are spending more time curled up watching films and realise that your sofa is not quite as comfortable as it used to be. Buying a new sofa is not cheap, especially if you opt for a new one. You can save a lot of money by buying second hand but you need to be sure that you check the sofa properly to make sure that there are no areas where the springs have gone on the seats or the supports in the arms.

When buying new you have a number of places to choose from. Lots of the big furniture retails will advertise that they have a sale on in the approach to Christmas but they often need to be ordered by a certain time to guarantee that they will be delivered in time for Christmas.

Although you may need to get rid of your old sofa to make room for the new one, it is not advisable to do so until you know exactly when yours will arrive. You have to also consider that there could be delays so you may have to go a day or so without one if yours does not arrive on time.
