Size:-

It is important to select the length, width and height of the sofa as per the size of your living room. The sofa should be proportionate and not look too small or too bulky in the space.

Frame:-

The basic framework of the sofa should be made in solid wood or marine plywood so that the sofa is strong and sturdy. Avoid materials like particleboard or softwood for the framework as the sofa may wobble or crack, over a period of time.

 

Sitting Test:-

Before buying a sofa, make it a point to sit on the sofa and check whether it is comfortable or not. The sofa should be fabricated with high-resilient foam because it is strong, durable and holds the shape of the sofa better in comparison to low-density foam. The best springs that are used for the fabrication are eight-way, hand tied springs. These springs add to the firmness and determine the comfort level of the sofa.

Sofa Style:-

The different sofa styles that are available in the market include a standard sofa, sectional, recliner, English rolled arm, chaise lounge, tuxedo and soon. Choose a sofa that complements other pieces of furniture and the interiors of the living room. Modern sofas have clean lines and come in neutral colours to give the space a fuss-free look.

Fabric vs Leather:-

Make sure that the selected upholstery is strong and durable if the sofa is going to be subjected to rough use. Fabric upholstery is available in natural or synthetic fibres—these are comfortable, available in different materials, bold prints, patterns and need regular cleaning. Some fabrics like cotton and linen are most comfortable while synthetic fabrics are resistant to stains. Silk has an inherent sophisticated look. Note that tightly woven fabrics have a higher thread count and last longer. Keep in mind that if the sofa is close to a window then opt for a fabric that is highly resistant to UV rays and won't fade in the presence of sunlight. Leather upholstery gives a high-end modern look to the sofa, is easy to clean and is much firmer than fabric upholstery. Leather is expensive, and is available in minimum colour options; it can also get very sticky in summer. It is most suitable for homes with pets as it does not attract or accumulate dust mites or pet dander and is easy to maintain.
