So What Sofa Suits You Best?

• Frame Design

  Frame design is the first thing that catches customers’ attention. Different sofas come with different designs, and finding a piece that has a striking look and blends into the rest of your space can do wonders to improve the look and feel of your living room. However, looks can be deceiving. Just because a sofa has the look you favour doesn't necessarily mean that it will hold it's shape forever. So even though he design may suit your needs, It is very important to make sure you invest in something that not only has the best design but lasts for a long time.

• Frame Material

  A good, durable sofa should have a sturdy frame in order to maintain its shape and integrity. The frame is the backbone of the entire sofa and should be up to the task. The quality affects how it is able to handle the pressures of everyday use and still maintain its comfort. Most often, sofa makers utilize wood composite, hardwood or metal to make frames, with metal frames being the sturdiest. But of course, metal frames aren't perfect as they can rust due to the humidity in the air. For cheap sofas, wood composite is generally cheaper but lacks the longterm durability of hardwood and metal.

• Frame Joints

  The material used provides strength for the larger frame of a sofa where the larger frame pieces join each other. A good sofa should have the right type of joinery to anchor the general strength overall frame. Wood is the most common material and connects firmly through the use of metal staples, which is the most modern method used in mass frames production. It.s also much more durable when compared to the old practice of connecting the frame with wooden dowels and wood glue, which sacrifices overall strength and durability.

• Cushion Materials

  The Cushions, of course, are the part that provides comfort when you relax on any sofa. The cushion filling used is most often determined by the intended design and feel of that sofa. The most used cushion filling includes feather, foam, and polyester fibre. Each of them comes with their characteristics that determine the ultimate sofa quality. Some manufactures may use the two or three of the filling materials to achieve the intended result. Sofa throws will most often use feathers, but most cushions are made with synthetic materials to help the sofa maintain it's shape and level of comfort for as long as possible.

• Suspension

  To deliver comfort and resilience, a good sofa relies on suspension. A first-rate suspension paired with solid cushioning determines how comfortable a sofa ultimately is. Any suspension should be able to withstand the impact of people sitting on the sofa throughout its lifetime, and it's why strength is among the most important aspects to consider when choosing a sofa to buy. If the suspension is not as strong as it should be, your sofa to warp and lose its shape under the weight of prolonged use.

• Types of Sofas

  Sofas have many different shapes and sizes: 3 person sofas, sectionals, recliners, armchairs, and corner sofas. The 3 person sofa is a basic model with two or three cushions, seating up to three people. Sectionals, allow various pieces to connect in different ways and are great for large families and gatherings. Recliners offer built-in footrests and use a lever that releases the seat-back and allows you to kick your feet up without having to stand. Armchairs are only to fit one person at a time but often come with reclining options available. Corner sofas offer the owner the option to place the sofa into any corner of a room-filling the adjacent walls with seating for the entire family.
