by Coley Home coleyhome

Your life can change for the better with a good sofa, but choosing the ideal one for your family is not always easy. Here we propose 5 tips to take into account when buying your perfect sofa.

1.- Comfort

Of course to have a sofa of 10 it must be comfortable. For comfort to be a quality of your future sofa, you must take into account that its structure is robust, be it made of wood or metal and have a resistant system in the form of thumbtacks, springs or another that allows us to have great stability in each seat. In addition, if the legs are part of the same structure, it will always have more stability and will not loosen when moving the sofa.

We must bear in mind that it is neither too soft nor too hard and that the foams are of high resistance so that they deform little and maintain their initial state as long as possible.

2.- The Upholstery

With the wide range of colors, fabrics and qualities that exist in the market, getting the fabric right can also be difficult. The best fabric will undoubtedly be the one that best suits your needs. A family with children will need a fabric with advanced technology where stains are easily cleaned with just water and which also repel liquids.

In the same way, a family with pets will need the special fabrics that exist for animals.

3.- Dimensions and configurations

As for the dimensions of the ideal sofa, it will depend on the space we have available in our living room. It is true that we all would like a large sofa with many seats but it is recommended that it leave space to be able to walk well through our living room and that it has a considerable distance from the television cabinet. A larger sofa than recommended will make the living room smaller than it really is and create a feeling of overwhelm. We love corner or modular sofas that adapt perfectly to our measurements. That is why we always recommend taking the measurements of your living room when you go to a store under the Real Furniture logo. That way they will advise you on your perfect size.

4.- Accessories

A sofa is designed to be comfortable and beautiful but also practical. That is why we are increasingly offered more complementary accessories such as chests or pouffs that improve our furniture. Armrests or cushions that perfectly complement our sofa are also a differentiating element that we must be interested in when making the purchase.

5.- That suits you

The reason why buying a sofa online is not recommended is that you cannot test it. We will spend many hours in it and that it is comfortable and adapts to your body is very important. Comfort is often totally subjective and in our Real Furniture stores you will have no problem trying it as many times as you consider until you are sure it is your perfect custom beds or sofa.
