It would seem that a huge selection in furniture stores should contribute to an easy and correct purchase. But in reality it turns out that, for example, the acquisition of such an interior item as a sofa becomes a real problem. Too many functions, styles, color schemes prevent the buyer from concentrating on the most important thing during the choice.
Of course, a store selling sofas and armchairs is almost always equipped with competent consultants who can be contacted for help. But the buyer himself must clearly know what he needs.
Therefore, in order to avoid dissatisfaction after acquiring a person buying a sofa, first of all, he must decide on the purpose of using this piece of furniture. Think about why he needs a sofa. What room will it be in. In the living room for meeting with friends, in the bedroom for sleeping or in the office for meetings and negotiations.
And secondly, in order to buy a truly high-quality and comfortable sofa, you need to pay attention not to its following characteristics.
Sizes.
Before buying, you must definitely measure the place where the new furniture is supposed to stand, and take these dimensions into account during the selection. And also it is worth deciding on the type of sofa. Double, triple, corner or modular it will be.
If the room is small, then small-sized double models are better suited. If the area of the room allows, and the number of family members is not standard (four or more people), then it is more reasonable to buy a triple sofa.
If the buyer wants to save space, then the corner model or modular is suitable for him, the main feature of which is easy transformation.
Construction and frame
In the case when a sofa is necessary both for sleeping and for receiving guests at the same time, it is worth choosing furniture more carefully according to its design. The latter should be as strong and reliable as possible.
The sofa frame in the classic version is made of coniferous wood. But constructions of metal or multilayer plywood are also possible.
Filling.
When choosing a sofa, you need to know what its content is. The advantage should be given to environmentally friendly materials, modern and safe. It can be, for example, dyurafil, unicorl, sintepon, holofiber, sintipuh, britbond, or skyron.
Natural fillers such as fluff or felt may be considered. Moreover, given that synthetic fillers, compared with natural ones, have a longer service life.
When choosing the filling, it is necessary to take into account the age of the people who will use this furniture. So for the elderly, the sofa should be of one stiffness, and for children - another.
Mechanism.
Sofas can be with a sliding mechanism, sofa beds or sofa sofas. The first type of furniture is perfect for a comfortable sleep, it is quite easy to disassemble and assemble, but it needs a lot of free space. The second type of sofa is suitable for those customers who rarely intend to use this furniture for sleeping. The sofa-book is not so convenient when folding or decomposing, it requires an additional distance from the walls to its frame. But at the same time, such a sofa is the cheapest compared to other models.
Upholstery.
The buyer must pay attention to the upholstery. Of course, everyone can choose its color and texture according to their own taste preferences, but you should not lose sight of what material served as the basis for the upholstery.
The best, long-lasting fabrics are genuine leather, natural fabrics of the highest category, semi-synthetic materials with natural threads, made by very dense jacquards and tapestries of exquisite colors.
And in conclusion, I would like to note that even a very high degree of awareness about the quality characteristics of the sofa will not help the buyer make the right choice if he does not try to touch it. Trusting your own feelings is the main condition for a successful purchase!
