And the furniture will not always turn out to be of high quality and durable. How to buy a sofa successfully so that it does not become a source of problems? Here are some tips to help you make your choice:

1. Sit comfortably on the sofa that interests you. If you plan to sleep on it, lie down. Do you feel any discomfort? Fold the folding sofa several times, the mechanism must be strong, do not stand on ceremony with it too much, because you often have to do this.

Most often, sofas are produced with such mechanisms:

• "book": the back of the sofa leans back, and he himself moves forward

• "Eurobook": the backrest does not extend, the bed itself moves.

• "dolphin" - the extension is provided using a special block

• "accordion" unfolds like an accordion

• "French folding bed": furniture option for guests, consists of lamellae and foam mattress.

2. It is better to choose a product of a company that has existed for several years and occupies a certain niche in the market. Indeed, in the event of quality claims, there is a guarantee that you will have someone to contact you.

3. Find out what the sofa is made of. The frame should be of dried material, preferably oak or beech. If it's not dry enough, the furniture will soon begin to creak.

4. Pay attention to the packing. If it is foam rubber, the softer it is - it will quickly crumble, pillows made of foam rubber will lose their shape. The best option is felt, fluff or batting.

5. Find out where the sofa is made. Imported ones are usually not meant for sleeping, so it is better to buy them as guest furniture.

6. Inspect the quality of the upholstery, the neatness of the seams, the symmetry of the left and right sides. Reputable manufacturers care about the appearance of the product.

7. Consider whether the sofa will be in harmony with the interior of your room in size, color and style, because it is usually in plain sight, especially if you often invite guests.

8. Compare prices for the model you like in several stores, read customer reviews on the Internet, ask about the warranty period. It must be at least 1.5 years old. Find out if the service includes shipping and assembly.

What not to do when planning to buy a sofa?

1. Do not take furniture from unknown underground factories, despite its relatively low cost. It is most likely made from cheap, low quality materials.

2. Do not choose a sofa from online stores with a dubious reputation. Remember that cheap doesn't mean durable. You will not be able to pre-inspect and touch the goods.

3. Do not buy a used sofa. It is believed that such things carry the energy of the previous owners, and it is not always positive.

We hope that with the help of our advice, buying a sofa will not be a hassle. Happy shopping!
