A sofa is an important element in the living room decor. It should not only fit into the room with its appearance, but also be comfortable and of high quality so that it will serve for decades.

But it happens that buying new furniture brings disappointment. This happens if mistakes were made when choosing.

Below we will look at the main mistakes when buying a sofa, so that you don’t make them again.

Selecting a filler

Experts recommend a sofa with a combined filler (spring block with polyurethane foam). In addition, you can pay attention to furniture with a filler made of "highly elastic polyurethane foam".

Its density should not be less than 25 kg/cu. m.

Error with measurements

It is important to consider not only the length or width of the sofa, but also to allow for additional space so that it can be unfolded. For the same reason, if you plan to use the sofa as a bed, you need to think about the method of transformation.

Selecting upholstery

It is advisable to take a sample of wallpaper and curtains with you to the store to choose a more suitable option, and not to be disappointed at home when the shade of the furniture does not match the overall interior.
If you have animals in your home, you definitely shouldn't choose leather as upholstery. If you have pets and small children, it's better to choose non-marking upholstery from which dirt can be easily removed.
