Old family room couch disposal. Four words that strike dread into your heart. You luckily stumbled onto an unbelievable deal. And, have new furniture on the way.

What makes Old Family Room Couch Disposal so Difficult
When you’re replacing different household items, you’ll discover it’s easy to rid your home of various things while others are more difficult. It’s just a fact of life, if you put a vintage dining table online for sale, it will attract a lot of attention and garner much interest. Place an antique in an auction and the same will happen. But, advertise a used futon couch and you won’t receive the same enthusiasm.
It is no secret that getting rid of a used sofa or sleeper is difficult. Upholstered furniture may not find many takers, especially when it is damaged, torn, or stained. To think that once you paid good money for a piece of furniture that now seems to be of no interest to you or anyone else. Unfortunately, with the exception of leather, upholstered furniture can depreciate greatly with use. It is difficult to get rid of it even when you are not looking to make money. --The Spruce
But alas, all is not lost. There are things you can do with an old sleeper sofa. It just depends on a few factors: its condition, your location, and its materials.
