Buying a sofa is an important decision and investment you are most probably going to make. It’s a furniture piece in your living room which will get used a lot to read, eat and drink, lounge, have some guests, spend time with family and friends, watching TV and much more. So it makes some sense to invest in such a sofa which will last for years.
To fit in the above the situation a sofa is going to get used, there are 5 things which need to consider while buying a sofa
Choose a good frame- Frame lays the foundation of a sofa. So spending on a good quality frame does make some sense as we want our sofas to last longer. A sturdy wooden frame is the best because it is made of various types of woods such as dried-oak, beech or ash. It’s kinda expensive however it will last much longer than other frames.
Hardwood frames are much more sturdy than plastic or metal frame sofas. Its legs should also be part of the frame rather than glued. So investing in a good frame will not only improve the quality and sturdiness of the sofa but also it will make a sofa to last longer.
Check the Springs- Kids love to bounce off the sofas and adults love to sleep to that bouncy effect and cushioning. So it advisable to consider the spring and cushioning used inside the sofas. Good quality of sofas often come with high-quality springs used in them.
Hand-tied springs are the best option. Eight-way hand-tied spring is incredibly comfortable and sturdy. If you want to make it less expensive then you should opt for a twisty and serpentine spring. Never go for low-quality springs as they won’t last long and it will press the frame which will reduce the lasting time of sofa.
Choose the right fabric- When it comes to fabric, there are a wide number of options to choose from. For daily use sofas in linen, cotton and leather are worth investing in. If you have pets, then it is suitable to choose tightly-woven fabrics. Choose a fabric that depicts your lifestyle!
Now comes to choose the colors, it is advisable to select dark color fabrics in case if you’ve got kids there chances of stains on the fabric. If you are going to opt the leather sofas, make sure it is of the highest quality as the low-end one will tear after a while.
Select the right measurement- Get a proper measurement of your door as you will need the sofas to enter through that particular door, passage or stairways. Also, consider the measurement of the sofa as per the living room or bedroom size.
Get the measuring tape and make sure you’re certain of the maximum sofa dimensions that will fit, and suit your space. Also, measure the dimensions of any doors and stairways the sofa will have to pass through on delivery – your walls will thank you.
Cost- At last this is the important thing you are going to consider is the cost. Choosing the right sofa at the right cost is crucial as it will depict its quality and lasting. You might need to look into the cost of frame, fabric and cushioning used in that particular sofa.
