When buying a sofa, people may not only be concerned about the style, but also the material.

When we buy sofas, we will see sofas made of different materials, such as leather sofas, tech fabric sofas, cotton and linen sofas, and so on.

When we see sofas made of different materials, we may not know how to choose.

However, each sofa has its advantages and disadvantages. In fact, the purpose of buying a sofa is not only to look good, but also to sit comfortably.

So for different sofas, from which dimensions should we choose?

This issue shares: Sofa selection. The article is divided into two parts: What are the various types of sofas: fabric, leather, and technical fabric? How to choose between fabric, leather, and technical fabric sofas?

What are the three types of sofas: fabric, leather, and technical fabric?

The mainstream sofas on the market are still made of fabric, leather and technical fabric.

Here we are mainly talking about the material of the sofa. If we classify it by style, there will be many styles of sofas.

When we buy sofas, we should first clarify the three types of sofas: fabric, leather and technical fabric.

For this reason, I have specially summarized the advantages and disadvantages of the three sofas. Through these sharing, I will provide you with a reference for selection.

(I)——Fabric sofa

The first type of sofa, which is more common and the most purchased, is the cotton and linen fabric sofa.

The fabric of cotton and linen fabric sofa is simply cotton and linen or cotton and linen blended. In short, they are all materials like fabric.

For cotton and linen fabric sofas, there are the following advantages and disadvantages.

advantage

①, The air permeability is very good. Because whether it is pure cotton and linen or blended fabrics, it is very breathable. The sofa is very dry and comfortable to sit on, and it feels warm in winter and cool in summer.

②. Good flexibility. The surface of the cotton and linen sofa has good toughness and wear resistance, so it is very durable.

③. The price is relatively cheap. Compared with leather sofas or technical fabric sofas, cotton and linen fabric sofas are the cheapest.

shortcoming

①, Not resistant to dirt. This is also an important reason why many people are troubled by cotton and linen fabric sofas. Even if there is a little stain on its surface, it will look very dirty and is particularly easy to get stained.

② Difficult to disassemble and wash. Because the cotton and linen fabric sofa is dirty, it usually needs to be disassembled and washed. But every time it is disassembled and washed, it is very laborious. Moreover, it is also troublesome to restore it.

(II) - Leather Sofa

Leather sofas are high-end sofas.

It can be said that leather sofas are the king of sofas, so the price is also the highest.

However, although its price is high and it is high-end, it also has its own advantages and disadvantages.

advantage

①, Full of high-end feeling. Because it is made of genuine leather, it can indeed reflect a good sense of high-end feeling and enhance the overall decoration level of our interior.

②. Comfort is also good. Leather sofas are warm in winter and cool in summer. They are also very comfortable to sit on, not inferior to cotton and linen fabric sofas.

③. Not resistant to dirt. For leather sofas, they are generally not dirty. Even if they are dirty, we can wipe them clean with a damp rag.

shortcoming

①. The price is high. A good leather sofa can easily cost tens of thousands, even 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, or even hundreds of thousands. This price is actually unacceptable to many families.

②, The air permeability is not as good as cotton and linen fabric sofas. Although leather also has good air permeability, the overall air permeability is still relatively poor. It will feel stuffy in the summer and cold in the winter.

③. Maintenance is difficult. Although leather sofas are resistant to dirt, they need regular maintenance, otherwise the surface will become dull. However, maintenance is expensive.

(three)——Technology fabric sofa

Tech fabric sofas are a type of sofa between cotton and linen fabric sofas and leather sofas.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the technological fabric sofa is to meet the needs of some families who like leather sofas but cannot afford leather sofas.

So, the tech fabric sofa appeared.

At the same time, it can also be seen that the advantages and disadvantages of technological fabric sofas compared to cotton and linen fabrics and leather sofas are also very prominent.

advantage

①, Wear-resistant and scratch-resistant. Because most of the technical fabrics are coated on the polyester base, they have good scratch-resistant and wear-resistant properties.

②, Good texture. Because the technology fabric sofa is made with a texture similar to velvet, frosted leather or genuine leather, it looks like a genuine leather sofa, and the overall texture is also good.

shortcoming

①, Not durable. This is also the fatal flaw of the high-tech sofa. It can be said that the high-tech fabric sofa can only be used for three to five years, and then the surface may fall off.

②, Looks old. This is also a prominent problem of high-tech sofas. After sitting for a period of time, it fades and has many spots.

③. Not resistant to dirt. I believe many friends have experienced this. If drinks or fruit juice are spilled on the tech fabric sofa, it will form a large area and it is difficult to clean.

Fabric, leather and technical fabric, how to choose between the three types of sofas?

The above introduces three types of sofas: fabric, leather and technical fabric, and their respective advantages and disadvantages.

In fact, after comparison, you will find that each sofa has its advantages and disadvantages.

Maybe many friends still won’t choose it.

Therefore, I personally recommend the following five dimensions for choosing a sofa, and you can make judgments based on these dimensions.

1. Comfort

When choosing a sofa, the first dimension we need to consider is comfort.

To put it bluntly, the question is whether the sofa we bought is comfortable or not.

Because when buying a sofa, you must not only look at whether it looks good, the more important thing is whether it is comfortable to sit on.

As for the comfort of the sofa, you can judge it by the following three points:

①. First of all, we recommend cotton and linen fabric sofas. If you sit on the sofa and feel that it is comfortable and skin-friendly, it means that this sofa is very comfortable for you. Don't worry about its material, just be comfortable, and cotton and linen fabric sofas have more advantages in this regard.

②, The second is the technology fabric sofa. The comfort of the technology fabric sofa is also good. Although there are some artificial synthetic materials, it also meets the comfort requirements.

③. Leather sofa. Leather sofa is actually the least comfortable. If you sweat in the summer, you will feel sticky when sitting on it; in the winter, it will feel very cold. I wonder if you have this feeling?

(II) Style

When we choose a sofa, the first thing we need to pay attention to is the appearance of the sofa, that is, the style of the sofa.

Because the appearance of the sofa should be matched with the overall decoration of our home to achieve the best effect.

Therefore, for the appearance of the sofa, it is necessary to judge it as a whole:

①. A sofa with good appearance can match the overall decoration style of our home and enhance the overall decoration effect of the living room.

② Choose according to the decoration style. For example, modern simple style and log style are more popular at present. In fact, these decoration styles are more suitable for cotton and linen fabric sofas or technical fabric sofas.

③. For some decoration styles such as retro style, it is recommended that you choose leather sofas. Because leather sofas have a high-end and elegant temperament, they are more compatible with decoration styles such as retro style.

(III) Daily care and maintenance

The third thing to consider when choosing a sofa is daily care and subsequent maintenance.

In fact, for most families, they want to choose a sofa that is easy to take care of on a daily basis and easy to maintain in the future.

Then, we have to consider the specific use of this sofa in the future.

Comparing these three sofas, I would like to recommend the following suggestions to you:

① From the perspective of maintenance, the first choice is actually a leather sofa. Leather sofas are not only resistant to dirt, but also very easy to maintain. Moreover, they are very durable.

② If we consider the future maintenance, we do not recommend you to choose leather sofas. Because leather sofas need careful care and regular maintenance. However, cotton and linen fabrics or technical fabrics do not have these requirements.

(IV) Durability

When choosing a sofa, we also have to consider whether the sofa is durable.

Because the sofa in our home is actually used quite frequently and we sit on it every day.

Well, at this time, it is actually more cost-effective for us to choose a very durable sofa.

If we choose a sofa from the perspective of durability, I personally recommend the following suggestions:

①. The first choice is the cotton and linen fabric sofa. The service life of the cotton and linen fabric sofa is relatively long, generally it can be used for more than 10 years. At most, it will collapse a little, but there will be no other problems.

②. The second recommendation is to choose a leather sofa. The service life of a leather sofa is also very long, but it is necessary to do a good job of daily maintenance. Most leather sofas can also be used for more than 10 years.

③. It should be noted here that if you consider durability, try not to choose a tech fabric sofa. For most cheap tech fabric sofas, you will find that the coating will fall off after two or three years and they are almost unusable.

(V) - Indoor conditions

When we buy sofas, many friends ignore one issue, which is the specific indoor conditions.

For different regions, different floors, and different room types, the specific indoor conditions are still very obvious.

As for sofas, they are also closely related to different indoor environments.

To give a simple example, indoor humidity, temperature and other factors have an impact on the sofa.

So, when we choose a sofa, we must consider these indoor conditions and make a judgment.

At this time, I recommend the following options to everyone:

① For humid areas, it is recommended that you choose cotton and linen fabric sofas instead of leather sofas, because leather sofas are prone to mold in humid seasons and need to be dehumidified.

② For dry areas, I personally recommend that you choose a leather sofa. Leather sofas are more durable in dry areas and are more comfortable to sit on.

③. There is another situation, that is, when we choose a tech fabric sofa, the requirements for the indoor environment are relatively low. To put it bluntly, a tech fabric sofa can be chosen in most environments.

Written at the end of the article

When choosing a sofa, after looking at the appearance, you should pay more attention to its comfort, durability and future maintenance.

Therefore, my final opinion is: for most ordinary families, if they focus on comfort and cost-effectiveness, cotton and linen fabrics are the first choice; if they pursue a sense of luxury, then choose leather sofas; for technological fabric sofas, don't choose them if you can. #精品长文创作季#
