From accidental spills to messy little hands to rambunctious pets, it can seem like your family is targeting your sofa with every possible challenge.

Armed with a few tips, you can find a family-friendly sofa that is not only durable, comfortable and stain resistant but also in line with your grown-up modern style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the Best Pet- and Family-Friendly Sofa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most important place to start, of course, is comfort. Key to that is finding proportions that make everyone happy. Not too short, not too deep, not too soft\u2026 just right in all the ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our family-friendly sofas are designed with these magic proportions in mind, plus are available in a lovely array of options. So you can find the right fit for your household. Our Sofa Comfort Guide<\/a> helps you compare sofas. Plus we make it extra-easy with info on each sofa page noting how it feels in terms of firmness plus seat depth and height.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the Best Low-maintenance Material<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best material for a couch when you have kids or pets is a durable, easy-to-clean fabric<\/a>. And you may be surprised to learn that leather<\/a> is also a great option. It\u2019s durable, plus there\u2019s the unique beauty of the patina a well-loved piece acquires over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use our Fabric Guide<\/a> to see our recommendations for family-friendly fabrics. We offer a great range of color and textures. Plus every fabric in our kid-friendly list resists rips and tears and is stain resistant.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For beautiful and durable leather options, see the semi-aniline finished choices in our Leather Guide<\/a>. All have a protective finish that\u2019s easy to wipe clean after a spill. For both fabric and leather, you can order free swatches<\/a> to compare how they feel, how they look, and even do a little spot-test ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One other consideration: indoor air quality. Some treatments on stain-resistant fabrics can include harsh chemicals. Room & Board offers GREENGUARD Gold Certified\u00ae fabrics<\/a>, which meet strict standards for indoor air quality.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider the Cushions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cushions are the (very soft) backbone of your sofa, and make a big difference in how your sofa looks and feels over time. We recommend loose (unattached) seat cushions and back cushions for families for two reasons. 1) Having the option to flip and rotate the cushions helps them last longer, especially if your kids like to jump on the sofa. 2) If you end up with a bad stain or a snag in the fabric, you can flip a cushion over to hide it. Check out our Metro sofa collection<\/a>, popular for this very reason and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another tip: cushions with down in them respond really well to a good plumping, going right back into shape. But you\u2019ll need to fluff them pretty often, just like you would down pillows on your bed. If that kind of maintenance isn\u2019t your thing, consider a sofa with foam cushions, which hold their shape longer (but don\u2019t fluff up as nicely,) Or choose a tight (attached) back for a tidy look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you look for the perfect combination of aesthetics and family-friendly in a new sofa, check in with our experts and use our free design services<\/a>. They can spill a few hints regarding fabric choice, cushion depth considerations and more.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
