Size and Scale: Measure your space and the sofa to ensure it fits comfortably without overwhelming the room. Consider the dimensions of the sofa relative to other furniture and the flow of the room.
Style and Design: Choose a style that complements your existing décor. Sofas come in various styles, such as traditional, contemporary, modern, sectional, and sleeper sofas.
Comfort: Test the sofa for comfort. Sit on it to check the firmness of the cushions and the depth of the seat. Consider how you use the sofa—whether for lounging, reading, or entertaining.
Fabric and Upholstery: Select a fabric that suits your lifestyle. Options include leather, microfiber, cotton, linen, and performance fabrics. Consider factors like durability, ease of cleaning, and whether you have pets or children.
Frame Construction: A sturdy frame is crucial for durability. Look for frames made from solid wood or high-quality materials. Avoid frames made from particle board or cheap materials.
Cushion Filling: Cushions can be filled with foam, down, or a combination of both. Foam cushions offer firm support, while down cushions provide a softer, more plush feel. Hybrid options combine the best of both.
