How to choose a sofa: Five key questions

There’re plenty of factors to consider on the subject of sofa buying, so the easiest way to start is to consider the criteria below:

1. Are you building your room around your sofa, or are you hoping to fit it into existing decor?If so, consider the style and colour choice. Be sensitive to the lighting and the general ambience of the room, and when in doubt, keep it classic – trends come and go, but a timeless sofa will see you through many periods of redecoration.

2. What kind of use will the sofa likely be subjected to?Does it need to withstand excitable children, or be durable enough to live in a home full of pets? If yes, consider a very durable fabric and higher-density sofa cushions in order to get as much life out of your sofa as possible.

 

3. Do you suffer from back pain or any allergies?Foam-filled cushions are available in different densities and will offer a firm level of support for those who suffer from back aches. But if allergies are a problem, opt for leather finishes or tightly woven fabric upholstery that are easier to clean.

 

4. Will it fit?It’s important to know the space your sofa will be working with and the other elements you need to fit alongside it. Follow our measuring guidelines before you take the plunge to figure out which size and configuration works best for you.

 

5. How much do you want to spend?Whatever the price it’s not always easy to see at first glance, or even first sit, whether your desired sofa is a great deal or a one season wonder. This is especially true if you’re shopping online.

A good way to draw up a budget for big ticket items like these is to do plenty of research, understand the descriptions and ask the right questions. And if you’re buying online, always remember to check independent reviews, pay particular attention to delivery and customer service and trust your instinct.
