We have two old sofas that need replacing in our family room, and we're trying to find the best quality sofas that are way too expensive and will last a long time. We're considering the Henredon Fireside sofa, the Thomasville Westport sofa, or a Drexel-Heritage sofa.

If we got the Henredon, do you think we should upgrade to eight way hand tied, or is the sinuous coil just as good now? We want a company that will allow us to not have welting on the cushions (I don't like the feel of the welt against my legs and back). Henredon and Drexel will make it without welting, and the Westport comes without welting. We'd like to get Sensuede fabric, because it's supposed to be durable and repel pet hair (very important!). What do you think of these three sofas, and do you have any others you can recommend? I think these three are made in N.C., which is another plus.

Any suggestions or information about these sofas or sofas in general would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
