It is best not to see these things as what they were. So much more fun to pull them apart for their raw materials...
Here's the stuff you can reclaim from a sofa. This one was free if collected (Thanks, roofrack...)

I got it, because I wanted the leather for a stool I was making.
This stool...

Having got a very nice free sofa, here it is being scrapped in my front garden...

And from that, there was about 4-5 square metres of top quality leather...

...and also some big zips...

...and a whole load of bolts, washers, wingnuts and fixings...

...many metres of elasticated upholstery webbing...

...fluffy, upholstery padding...

...and not forgetting foam cushions...

..and even a few bits of hardwood...

All free - nice...
go get a sofa...
