Where do you go when it’s time for a new sofa? With eCommerce growing by leaps and bounds since the start of the pandemic, you have a lot more options at your disposal. It may seem easiest to go to your local furniture store, but there are a lot of reasons you should turn to the internet first. Here are some reasons you should buy your next sofa online.

Sale prices without a sale
Online furniture stores are so much cheaper than your local furniture outlet. The only time you get similar prices at your brick-and-mortar furniture store is during sales events. These sales usually occur on:
- President’s day
- Memorial Day
- Labor Day
- Independence Day
- Thanksgiving
Some shopping holidays come about, such as back to school in August, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. However, even with sale prices, you could save online. Although these sales holidays are far more critical to brick-and-mortar furniture stores, furniture sites will also hold sales to make their prices even cheaper.
Clearance items
Your local furniture store probably won’t have a clearance section. Most retail outlets have minimal storage, and they are unlikely to hold onto sofas after their season has ended. But when you buy an online sofa on sale, you have many clearance options from previous seasons that allow you to save even more money.
If you want a particular sofa and it costs too much elsewhere, wait just a few months, and that couch will be on clearance at numerous online furniture retailers and wholesalers. It is a great way to get exactly what you want but within your budget.
Larger selection overall
Online furniture stores have huge warehouses, or they dropship from other wholesalers who have large warehouses. This means that you can get just about any sofa you can imagine online. When you can’t find what you’re looking for in your local furniture store, turn to the internet for more options.
If you want to match your sofa to your existing living room set, buying online can also allow you to find couches from the same brand. This gives you a cohesive look in your living room, even though you bought the pieces at different times.
Free delivery
Local furniture stores almost always charge a delivery fee, and some of them can be pretty high. Since online sofa retailers are working hard to get your business, they are more likely to give you free delivery. Some stores may still have purchase minimums, but you are likely to meet them with just one luxury couch. (You’ll also get it at lower than luxury prices!)
If you want to find the best deals on your next sofa, you can’t go wrong with hitting the internet and finding a reputable online furniture store. Look for stores with good reviews, free delivery, and extensive clearance selections, and you will be happy with your purchase and your living room.
