Location of the sofa.

When choosing a sofa, you need to know exactly where it will be located:

• In the living room - for this option it is worth paying attention to soft furniture with a harder filler, so that the sofa does not lose its shape with time.
• The bedroom should have the most comfortable sofa with a soft mattress, so it was convenient to sleep.
• In the nursery - for this room you need to choose a solid model, but with a soft fill so that the sofa can withstand the children's games, but it was convenient for them to sleep on it.
• For the office you need to buy a sofa with a rigid frame and filler, so as not to relax and distract from work.

The size and shape of the room.

The form:

• For elongated rooms it is worth taking a direct sofa, it will look good in such a room.
• For the living room you need to buy a corner sofa, so that as many people can sit on it.

The size:

• Large models are worth buying only for spacious rooms, because in a small room, a large sofa will look cumbersome.
• For small apartments suitable compact corner sofas.

Upholstery.

There are several types of upholstery:

• Fabric - is more popular, but when choosing this kind of upholstery, it is worthwhile to check with the seller how easily it is cleaned and impregnated with substances that do not allow the liquid and grease stains to be absorbed.
• Leather - most often it is chosen for offices, because in the bedroom it will not be appropriate, it will be inconvenient to sleep on.

Filler.

From the filler will depend on the posture of the owners of the sofa, so choose it carefully.

• Foam is a hypoallergenic filler, but it is too soft, it can only fit for the sofa intended for the bedroom.
• Synthepone is made from environmentally friendly materials.
• Biconical metal springs are an ideal option for correct posture, this option is recommended by orthopedists. Springs are located in the hotel cases independently of each other.

Frame.

• Wooden - ecologically natural frame, but in strength is not durable. Good for children's rooms.
• Metal - the most durable of the skeletons. A sofa with such a frame will last for many years.

The mechanism of transformation.

• For the living rooms, when the sofa will not be laid out every day, the mechanism - Eurosafe - is suitable.
• For bedrooms an ideal sofa-accordion, the same mechanism is suitable for children's rooms, because it is very easy to decompose and assemble. The mechanism of this type of upholstered furniture is strong, so it is suitable for daily use.

When buying a sofa, do not forget about the warranty period. According to GOST, it is 1.5 years. Therefore, sellers need to claim warranty cards, and do not go for their tricks. Also it is necessary to make sure that in the event of a breakdown the store has a service department working with warranty coupons.

In any case, choosing a sofa, you do not need to be led by discounts and low prices. It is better to buy upholstered furniture at an average cost, but high-quality, which will serve its owners for more than one year.
