To be honest, many people don't actually choose carefully before buying a sofa for their home. Most of them just decide based on the style and fabric. Unknowingly, they waste money and buy something that is not so practical.

Today, I will talk to you about what the experts usually look at and ask when buying a sofa., I am not just saying this, but it is the experience I have gained from the losses I have suffered.


Check if you have chosen the right sofa for your home.

1. How to ask about leather sofa


As long as you don't choose the imitation leather tech fabric sofa, you can choose cotton and linen, fabric, and genuine leather. The difference between the first two fabrics is actually not that big, but for the genuine leather one, you need to ask carefully about the following points.


①Is it made of full leather, or is only the contact surface leather (semi-leather)?

②Is it the first layer of leather or the second layer of leather? Generally, only the first layer of leather is called genuine leather.

③Which parts use genuine leather, and what kind of leather is used for the other parts?

Knowing this, the choice of leather sofa is usually no problem.

2. Sofa filling


Secondly, you need to look at the filling of the sofa. If it is down, you should know whether it is goose down or duck down. If it is sponge, you should first know whether it is one-piece or multi-layered, and what the density of each layer of sponge is. Usually, 45D combined with 35D sponge provides good support and is not easy to collapse.

3. Frame Wood


Nowadays, most sofas have wooden frames. Generally, if it is a brand’s own sofa, you will be shown the frame diagram taken in the factory, and you will also be told what kind of wood it is. If you want a more cost-effective one, pine wood is completely sufficient. The rest depends on the connection process.

4. Bottom structure


As for the structure of the bottom of the sofa, I personally recommend not to buy the kind with only a bandage bottom. The best is a bandage + serpentine spring bottom. It would be even better if the bottom is made of transparent gauze. In short, it is not recommended to choose the kind of non-woven fabric bottom. It is cheap and has no good at all. It will also turn powdery over time.

5. Either land or high kick


When choosing a sofa style, you can either go for a high-legged sofa or simply a floor-standing box sofa. Never choose a low-legged sofa. Not only will the gaps be filled with dirt and hair, but it is also difficult to clean. I really don't recommend buying this kind of sofa.

6. Don’t buy too light a color


The color of the sofa is of course determined according to your own preference, but if you want to take into account the practicality of the sofa, I personally recommend that you don’t buy one that is too light in color. Too light-colored sofas are really not resistant to dirt and are difficult to match with the decoration style of your home.

7. Either sit deep or lean back


If you want to sit comfortably with a sense of support for your back, either the seat depth is deep enough or the backrest is high enough. If you sit on a sofa with a shallow seat depth and a half backrest, you will really feel like your lower back is being bent, which will make you feel very uncomfortable after a long time.

Conclusion


In short, if an expert wants to buy a sofa, he often only looks at the above seven points. If he can do all of them, he will generally buy a satisfactory sofa.

I wonder if any of you have encountered these problems when buying sofas for your home?
