16 things you need to know before buying a sofa, collect them now

1. When choosing a sofa, you should first choose it according to the style, size, and proportion of your home. You should also consider the color of the decorative paintings and the material color of the curtains. Don't just imagine the sofa as an individual. In fact, it is also part of the soft furnishings.

2. The size of the sofa should be determined by the size of the sofa wall. It should not be too full. The size of the sofa wall should be reduced by 20-40 cm. The depth should not be simply determined by the size>

3. It is not recommended for ordinary families to choose sofas with couches, as they cannot seat many people and will make the space look crowded. It is recommended to directly choose 1+3 for living rooms below 40 square meters. If one person feels uncomfortable, you can choose a single seat with functions. For living rooms in large houses over 40 square meters, it is recommended to choose a combination of 1+2+3, which is more comfortable and upscale.

4. If you want to buy a brand sofa at a preferential price, it is not recommended to buy online products and special products. You can buy samples from physical stores. Don’t simply think that they are exactly the same. Generally, big brand sofas will customize fabrics specifically for online products and special products. The bargain you want does not exist at all.

5. When buying a sofa, buy one with a zipper on the bottom so that you can disassemble it and see the material inside. Although a zipper that allows you to see the material does not necessarily mean that the material is good, if you are afraid to even look at it, it is definitely not good.

6. It is not recommended to buy a sofa without seeing the real thing, such as the one sold online or through live broadcasts, because a sofa is a large item after all. Whether it is the armrests, backrest, or the softness or hardness of the material, all the parameters are difficult to understand clearly through description, so try to go to a physical store to experience it before buying.

7. Both pine and birch can be used without any problems. If you want better, choose beech, but be careful to use the wood without worm holes or knots to better reflect the advantages of the wood. All four sides should be polished smooth.

8. The support of the sofa cushion mainly depends on the serpentine spring and the elastic bandage. So when we buy a sofa, we should check whether the one we choose has it and whether the density is enough.

9. When buying a sofa, you can also judge its quality by weighing it, because whether it is wood, sponge, hardware, or fabric, good materials will have higher density and quality, so sofas are not like cars and there is no way to make them lightweight.

10. If your home has good lighting, try not to choose sofas made of pure leather or technological fabric. Long-term direct sunlight will take away the grease in the leather sofa fabric and accelerate the aging of the three-proof layer of the technological fabric sofa, making the sofa more prone to cracking and falling off.

11. No matter what fabric or material the sofa is made of, you should smell the odor of all the materials. No matter whether it is a big brand or a small brand, a sofa with odor is definitely not good.

12. If you buy a relatively expensive and high-end leather sofa, please do not put a sofa cover on it like you would a car seat cushion. Beautiful things should be shown off. Do not wait until the sofa is almost broken and then open it to see if the leather surface of your pure leather sofa is still new when you need to redecorate your house.

13. Sofas from regular brands and some better sofas will have detailed product brochures and product instructions, and the packaging will also have national certification standards. If not, then it is a "three-no" product.

14. Leather sofas are not necessarily expensive, and fabric sofas are not necessarily cheap. Don’t judge the price of a sofa by the material of the fabric.

15. When choosing the softness and hardness of a sofa, you should also consider the weight of your family members. The heavier you are, the more suitable it is to buy a harder cushion. If there are elderly people in your family with poor waist and legs, you should also choose a harder cushion, which has better support, will cause less harm to the human body, and will make it less likely to get tired when sitting.

16. Try not to choose multifunctional sofas. They are only used a few times a year and are easy to break down. Over time, there will be a significant difference in the softness and hardness of the cushions that you often sit on and those that you rarely sit on, making them very uncomfortable to use.
