Buying the right sofa is very important. It not only affects the appearance of the entire living room, but also guarantees a sense of happiness in living.However, in reality, too many people make the wrong choice of sofa. They do a lot of research online, but still end up making mistakes. They spend a lot of money but end up buying a sofa that looks good but is not practical.

As a person who has been through this, in this article I have summarized8 most common pitfalls when choosing a sofaThese are the experiences I summarized after buying a sofa for the second time, which are worth your reference and collection:

1. Genuine leather is also divided into grades

First time buying a sofaKnowing that genuine leather has a high-end texture and is easy to maintain, I spent a lot of money to buy a genuine leather sofa. But when I went to my friend's house, I saw that the sofa was also genuine leather, but the leather of his sofa was soft and the workmanship was fine. When I looked at my own sofa, I found that the leather was stiff and the seams were rough. Only then did I realize that I had made a mistake.

Second time buying a sofaI just learned that there are different grades of genuine leather. The best grade is the first-layer leather imported from Italy. Those on the market labeled as "Nappa leather" and "calfskin leather" are all gimmicks of merchants. In addition, in addition to the quality of the leather, the craftsmanship of genuine leather sofas is also different. When choosing, focus on the fineness of the joints. A good genuine leather sofa is made of a whole piece of cowhide, with fewer seams, and the seam lines are even and smooth. The leather feels soft. Only such a leather sofa is worth buying.

2. The fabric also depends on the type

First time buying a sofaI saw a blogger online recommending a more cost-effective fabric sofa. However, after I bought it and used it, I felt that the fabric was very smooth, the texture was almost invisible, and it was easy to generate static electricity when sitting on it. The texture and comfort level were disappointing.

Second time buying a sofaI just learned that there are different types of fabrics. You should choose cotton and linen fabrics with a strong texture to be comfortable and high-quality. In addition, if the budget is sufficient, wool blended fabrics will have a better texture, and are more skin-friendly and comfortable.

3.Technology fabrics also have good

First time buying a sofaI saw bloggers complaining about the short lifespan of tech fabric sofas, which will crack, peel and shred, so I ignored any tech fabric sofas when choosing one. Later I found that the tech fabric sofa my friend bought had been used for several years without any peeling or shredding problems, and it was easy to take care of on a daily basis.

Second time buying a sofaI just found out that tech fabric and tech leather are actually two different crafts. The "cracking, peeling, and dregs" mentioned by bloggers mostly occur on tech leather. A good tech fabric sofa is not cheap, and it is really good in terms of anti-fouling and anti-scratch performance, and is easy to take care of. As for the lifespan, fabric sofas and tech fabric sofas are actually similar, and they should be replaced with new ones after seven or eight years at most.

4. Springs and bandages are the best

First time buying a sofaKnowing that the supporting layer is important and that serpentine springs are required to be durable, I chose a sofa with serpentine springs. However, the sofa collapsed after two or three years of use.

Second time buying a sofaI realized that serpentine springs alone are not enough. It is necessary to have encrypted serpentine springs with a spacing greater than 10 cm and bandages to be reliable. Such a support layer can ensure that the sofa is elastic enough and will not collapse during long-term use.

5. High-density sponge alone is not comfortable

First time buying a sofaFrom reading netizens' guides, I learned that sponges are divided into low-density and high-density. I also learned that I should choose 45D high-density sponge to ensure sufficient elasticity and no collapse. However, after buying it, I found that the sitting feeling was very average, and it was not as comfortable as the sofa in my friend's house.

Second time buying a sofaOnly then did I realize that to get a comfortable sitting feeling, high-density sponge alone is not enough. Instead, one should choose a filling process that combines sponge and down or sponge and memory foam to create the ultimate sitting feeling. Only such a sofa is truly comfortable to use.

6. The backrest is too low and not practical

First time buying a sofaI thought the sofa would be very comfortable if I could lie down like Ge You, so I bought a model with a low backrest and a deep seat. However, after I bought it, I realized that this kind of sofa is not suitable for a family with both old and young. I have to straighten my back to watch TV, and adding a cushion at the back does not help. It is comfortable to lie half-lying, but it can only lie half-lying. In fact, it is not suitable for most families.

Second time buying a sofaI just realized that this kind of sofa with a low back is only suitable for young people who like to browse their phones instead of watching TV. For families with elderly people and children, you should choose a sofa with a backrest of about 55 cm and a seat depth of more than 60 cm. A sofa of this height can provide support for the neck, making it practical and comfortable to sit on.

7. The base is too low and difficult to clean

First time buying a sofaI only thought that the shape should be solid and stable so that the overall look would be grand, but I didn't consider that if the sofa legs are too low, the supplies and garbage will roll underneath, and the sweeper and mop cannot clean them up, and over time it will become a place where dirt and filth are hidden.

Second time buying a sofaI just realized that the base height should be around 15 cm. This space can ensure that most sweeping robots on the market can enter and exit normally. It is also more convenient to clean with a broom or mop, ensuring that there are no sanitary dead corners in the home.

8. Functional sofas are not practical

First time buying a sofaI saw a merchant promoting that electric sofas are very comfortable, have adjustable backrest angles and massage functions, which made them seem very practical. However, after I actually bought them, I discovered that these functions are actually useless and they lose their novelty after just a few uses. Functional sofas are often not as soft and comfortable to sit on as ordinary sofas, and I felt like I was paying a waste of money after buying them.

Second time buying a sofaI just realized that functional sofas are not practical. It would be better to spend the extra money on a comfortable single chair, which can also enhance the layering of soft furnishings and make the living room more upscale.
