Among the whole variety of furniture that we use for our living rooms, bedrooms and even kitchens, the most popular product is still a sofa. Today it is difficult to meet an interior that is without the use of this piece of furniture at least in one of the rooms. Before visiting furniture stores, we are always attended by two questions: where to purchase sofas inexpensively and how to choose a quality model? And if the first criterion may vary depending on the place of your residence, then for the second there are several general provisions. What should you pay attention to when choosing a sofa?
High -quality frame – the key to reliability
One of the main criteria when choosing a sofa is the choice of its base, on the strength of which the stability and life of the product depends. The most reliable options are the bases of solid wood or multilayer plywood, as well as welded metal frames.
If you have chosen a tree as a base, try to find out what processing, and in particular drying, it passed. Perhaps this will be possible to find out from the store consultant. Non -compliance with drying technology threatens the appearance of mold on the surface of the product soon. Unfortunately, you can only evaluate the accuracy of processing external surfaces on the eye.
Filler and transformation mechanism
The next stage is the choice of the transformation mechanism and filler of the sofa. Today, “accordions”, “books” and “clashes” are popular with popularity. The main indicator is the simplicity of laying out the sofa. Try to open it several times – the mechanism should be comfortable and should not creak or seize.
Its softness depends on the base of the sofa. As a rule, today manufacturers use straps made of rubber -leather materials supplemented by synthetic winterizer, polyurethane or synthetic filler. This is a universal combination that will please both quality and price. Checking the quality of the filler is completely easy – the pillow should restore the shape a few seconds after they got up from it.
