I hope you're not French.

Sofas, tables and chairs, cars, women.

The second they start to sag, don't operate as well as they used to and start to become costly to maintain best to get rid and replace.

Sorry love. I won't be taking you back in so best move on.

I don't think sofa themed threads are popular on here mate.

My advice - order new one now, you'll get it in 2019.

Reupholstery cost reasonable?

I have a sofabed bought in 1999 for about £1000 that's showing wear. I have an estimate for reupholstery of about £1100. (£650 recovering labour, £360 worth of fabric at £30 per square metre, plus £45 each to refill two seat cushions.)

Is this reasonable (for London near City) or should I look around?

I can buy an almost identical sofabed new from the same place as the original for about £1500.
