The quality of sofa purchase determines the happiness of our home. A good sofa is not only responsible for the appearance of the living room, but also the key to improving the quality and comfort of our home life. In view of the extremely high usage rate of the sofa, we should not be careless when purchasing it.
There are different types and materials of sofas on the market, with prices ranging from one to two thousand, to tens of thousands. How should we choose? People who have experienced it will tell you that choosing a sofa mainly depends on these four aspects:
Material
Regarding the materials of sofas, the most common three types are leather sofas, fabric sofas, and technology fabric sofas. As for how to choose, it mainly depends on your budget and home decoration style.
High-quality leather sofas are not cheap. The top layer is made of yellow cowhide, which has a soft texture and smooth and delicate leather surface. Some leather sofas are made of harder buffalo leather, which not only feels rough to the touch, but may also crack and peel after being used for a long time. If you are looking for a good leather sofa, I personally recommend not buying products below 1.5w. Leather sofas are suitable for American style, European style, Nordic style, light luxury style, industrial style and other decoration styles.
Compared with leather sofas, fabric sofas are still very cost-effective and are deeply loved by young people. There are many colors and styles of fabric sofas on the market, which match well with modern minimalist style or other decoration styles, and they are also more breathable and comfortable to sit on. If you are afraid of getting dirty every day, just put on the sofa cover. It can be removed and washed when cleaning, which is very convenient.
Technological fabric sofas have indeed become very popular in recent years. They have the texture and color of leather sofas, as well as the breathability of fabric sofas, and are relatively affordable. But technical fabrics are also divided into different grades. If you want to buy a durable sofa, then a technical fabric sofa priced at RMB 2,000 to 3,000 is obviously not the first choice.
Although the technical fabric sofa sounds "high-end", in fact it is a fabric sofa with imitation leather effect. The surface is coated with a layer of glue, which is similar to a waterproof coating. The coating will wear out over time, so many Technical fabric sofas will peel and even turn yellow after just a few years of use. Of course, it’s not a bad idea to replace it with a new one after a few years.
Frame
If the sofa frame is not selected correctly, the sofa will definitely sizzle when you sit down, and even the service life of the sofa will be greatly reduced. Generally speaking, frames are divided into solid wood frames and metal frames.
For solid wood frames, if you don’t ask, the shopping guide will generally not tell you what kind of wood the frame is made of. It is recommended that you choose pine wood for the frame, not eucalyptus or miscellaneous wood. The wooden frame should be neat and free of burrs, and the joints should be strong and stable. It is not advisable to shake and stagger.
For the support part of the sofa, almost all factories now use a structure of snake-shaped springs and elastic bandages. The snake-shaped springs are made of manganese steel. The springs made of pig iron will rust easily.
Filler
The filling of the sofa largely determines the comfort of the sofa. The first choice is sponge filling, which should be above 45D. 45D refers to a density measurement unit of 45 kilograms per cubic meter of sponge, which is a high-density sponge.
It has strong toughness, quick rebound, and relatively good support and endurance. If the sofa is filled with low-density sponge, it will rebound slowly and collapse easily. Latex pads age and fall off seriously, so I personally don’t recommend it to everyone.
Back Cover
It is not recommended to use non-woven fabrics for the bottom cover of the sofa. Many factories use non-woven fabrics to save costs. After a few months of use, problems such as slag and weathering will inevitably occur. Using a better fabric for the back cover will make the sofa last longer. When buying, you should also pay attention to the workmanship and wiring of the fabric back cover.
Sofas are also one of the large pieces of furniture in the home, and they often cost thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. Therefore, when choosing, you should not just look at the appearance, but also have a proper understanding of some of the purchasing tips to avoid pitfalls!
