THINGS TO LOOK FOR IN YOUR NEXT SOFA?

Planning to buy a sofa for the first time?
Don’t know what to look for when buying a sofa?
Don’t worry we are here for you!!
Sofas are one-time investments. You don’t buy a sofa every day. Therefore, deciding which sofa to buy is a tedious task.
Whether you are buying recliners, fabric sofa, or leather sofa, here are a few things that should be taken care of before buying a sofa.
What do YOU want? Leather Sofa, Fabric Sofa or Recliners?
A sofa is not just a piece of furniture; it’s a part of your lifestyle. You will spend your days and nights on this sofa for several years to come. That’s why deciding on what type of sofa you need for your living room is as vital as having a kitchen in your home.
So, the first step of choosing your next sofa is to decide what type of sofa you like. It can be a recliner to enjoy movies, a soft and comfy fabric sofa to relax in, or an easy to clean leather sofa.
Determine the size of your room
Now that you have decided what type of sofa you want, it’s time to measure up your room. If you have a big room you have plenty of options. You can either choose an L-shaped fabric sofa or a round-shaped couch that can be a good fit for your room as it will fill up your room and provide more seating as well.
However, if you have a small room you must choose wisely a sofa that will fit into your room and doesn’t make your room look crowded.
One important thing to keep in mind before buying a sofa is the size of your stairway and door. If required, buy a sofa that can be assembled in the room.
Quality
Now, it’s time to choose the best quality sofa within your budget. There are 3 three things to look for while determining the quality of the sofa you are buying:
1. Frame: frames are the backbone of a sofa. Kiln-dried hardwood sofas are the best options as they are durable and don’t warp. Metal or plastic board sofas are cheaper but they warp and crack easily.
2. Springs: Springs are placed below the cushions and ensure the durability of your sofa. Hand-tied springs are the expensive option but no other spring can match its durability.
3. Fabric: If you are choosing a fabric sofa, cotton or linen fabric are classic options. Fabric with some patterns and irregularities are best to hide dirt. Or if you are buying a recliner or leather sofa, real leather with the right care and treatment would last for years.
Warranty
Lastly, buying a sofa with a warranty feels great. But different manufacturers offer different warranties. Some would guaranty their products for only a year and some would provide a warranty for several years. So it's best to do a survey before buying a sofa and choose the warranty that satisfies you.
