It would seem that there is a huge choice in furniture storesshould contribute to an easy and correct purchase. But in fact it turns out that, for example, the purchase of such a piece of furniture as a sofa becomes a real problem. Too many functions, styles, color solutions prevent the buyer from concentrating on the most important thing during the selection process.
Of course, selling the sofas and armchairs of the store is almost always equipped with competent consultants, to which you can turn for help. But the buyer himself must know exactly what he needs.
Therefore, in order to avoid dissatisfaction afterhis acquisition of a person who buys a sofa, first, should determine the purpose of using this piece of furniture. Think about what he needs a sofa for. In which room he will be. In the living room for meetings with friends, in the bedroom for sleeping or in the office room for meetings and negotiations.
And secondly, in order to buy a really high-quality and comfortable sofa, it is necessary to pay attention not to its following characteristics.
Dimensions.
Before buying it is necessary to measure the place,where the new furniture is supposed to be, and take into account these dimensions during the selection. And also it is necessary to decide on the type of sofa. Double, triple, corner or modular it will.
If the room is small, it is bettersuitable for small-sized double models. If the area allows the room, and the number of family members is not standard (four or more people), then it is more reasonable to buy a three-seater sofa.
If the buyer wants to save space, then he will use a corner model or a modular one, the main feature of which is an easy transformation.
Construction and frame
In the case where a sofa is necessary for both sleeping and receiving guests simultaneously, it is worth more carefully choosing furniture by its design. The latter should be as strong and reliable as possible.
The frame of the sofa in the classical version is made of coniferous wood. But there are also possible designs from metal or multilayer plywood.
Filling.
Choosing a sofa you need to know what it isfilling. The advantage should be given to environmentally friendly materials, modern and safe. These can be, for example, durafil, unicor, sintepon, holofayber, sintipuch, Britbond, or skyrone.
You can consider natural fillers, such as down or felt. At the same time, given that synthetic fillers have a longer service life than natural fillers.
During the selection of the filling, it is necessary to take into account the age of the people who will use this furniture. So for the elderly, the sofa should be of one rigidity, and for children - the other.
Mechanism.
Sofas can be with withdrawable mechanism,sofa-beds or sofa-books. The first type of furniture is perfect for a comfortable sleep, it is easily disassembled and collected, but it requires a lot of free space. The second type of sofa is suitable for those customers who rarely use this furniture to sleep. The sofa-book is not so convenient at addition or decomposition, it requires an additional distance from the walls to its frame. But this sofa is the cheapest compared to other models.
The buyer must pay attentionon the upholstery. Of course, everyone can choose its color and texture according to its own taste preferences, but one should not lose sight of what material served as the basis of upholstery.
The best, long-serving tissues arenatural leather, natural canvases of the highest category, semisynthetic materials with natural threads, made with very dense jacquards and tapestries of exquisite colors.
And in conclusion I would like to note that evena very high degree of awareness of the qualitative characteristics of the sofa does not help make the right choice to the buyer, if he does not try it by touch. To trust your own feelings is the main condition for a successful purchase!
