Average sofa sees 311 arguments and 401 naps during eight years of service, study finds

The average Brit will keep hold of a sofa for eight years – during which time the furniture hosts 8,508 hours of TV watching time, and is used for 401 naps, research has found.

The trusted piece of furniture, which becomes the focal point of the home, suffers 316 drinks spills over the years, and 65 scribbles from kids – as well as witnessing 311 arguments.

But it is also the site of 286 “make-up” sessions, and plays host to 537 film screenings, according to the poll of 2,000 Brits.

In fact, most Brits foresee the value of the piece of furniture, and are willing to shell out as much as £1,010 for their dream sofa.

And when they are done with it, 92% will always look to resell the couch to another home.

The research was commissioned by Sofology, to celebrate the launch of its staple-free “Gaia” sofa, created in partnership with architect and TV presenter, George Clarke.
