How long do linen couches last?

Linen is about 30% stronger than cotton, making it an incredibly hard-wearing fabric that will last for several decades on any piece of furniture. Linen fibres are also much longer, so you don't need to worry about dust, lint and fuzz bombarding your space like they might on a cotton, wool or leather sofa.

Is a linen sofa easy to clean?

Absolutely! To machine wash or linen, just put it on a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water (no hotter than 40°C). Tie quilt cover ties, avoid fabric softeners, and use a liquid, gentle detergent to protect the fibres.
