7 signs that you chose the best sofa

Steel frame or wood? Leather or fabric upholstery? We explain how to tell if you've chosen the best sofa.

1. Multifunctionality

A good sofa is not only a place for evening relaxation. If needed, it can easily turn into sleeping space for guests. Pay attention to whether pillows are included in the set. A multifunctional model will ensure comfortable use.

2. Comfort

Probably the most important quality of a good sofa. Evaluate the level of comfort before purchasing, in the store: the model should not be too hard or, conversely, overly soft. All of this is individual, so it's better to try several options and choose the one that suits you best.

3. Simplicity

If it takes enormous effort to unfold the sofa, you've clearly made the wrong choice. Complex and tight mechanisms wear out faster. Everything should be as simple and convenient to use as possible.

4. High-quality upholstery

Fabric upholstery is more practical and convenient to use than leather. It also surprises with a variety of shades and textures. Make sure the fabric is not too thin. It's also more convenient if the sofa upholstery has a zipper and can be removed.

5. Strong frame

There are three types of frames: MDF (compressed wood chips), plywood (layers of natural wood glued together) and steel frame. The latter two are considered more reliable and durable. Therefore, if you decide to spend money on a sofa with a steel base, you won't regret it.

6. Price matches quality

Unreasonably low price should raise suspicion: even if the model looks stylish, it's likely they saved money on filling or upholstery. The price should match the quality, don't skimp and choose a trusted manufacturer.

7. Stylish design

You've chosen the perfect sofa if it: perfectly harmonizes with the color scheme of the room, fits in shape and size, and doesn't stand out from the overall interior style.
