Choosing the right sofa, these 3 points are very important

1. Choose fabrics
When choosing a sofa, what we can directly see and touch is the fabric. The texture of the fabric affects the feeling of contact between the skin and the sofa, and most of the sofa fabrics on the market are divided into fabric and leather art.

1) Fabric sofa

Fabric sofas can be divided into cotton or cotton linen, chemical fiber (imitation silk), printing, jacquard, flocking, flocking cloth, etc.

Its biggest advantage is good breathability, more colors and styles can be selected in the appearance, and the price is relatively close to the people, suitable for most families.

However, the fabric sofa is easy to fall ash and not resistant to dirt, it is recommended to buy a removable model to facilitate daily cleaning and care.

2) Leather sofa

Leather sofas come with style, high-grade texture, wear-resistant and wrinkle resistant and easy to take care of.

At present, the common leather sofas on the market can be subdivided into: full leather sofas, semi-leather sofas and artificial leather sofas.

Since these three types of leather sheets are not much different from the surface, there are many unscrupulous merchants on the market selling half-skin and imitation leather products to consumers under the slogan of full leather, and everyone must polish their eyes when purchasing.

Here are also two key points to share with you:

(1) The key to distinguishing artificial leather from full dermis is the skin touch of the contact surface.

Full genuine leather is warm and elastic to the touch, and artificial leather feels smooth and cold to the touch. If poked by hand, the whole dermis will have a natural wrinkled path, but artificial leather will not.

(2) The key to distinguishing between a full leather sofa and a semi-leather sofa lies in the invisible details.

Semi-leather sofa refers to the skin that can be in direct contact with our body, such as cushions, backrests, etc. using genuine leather, and the remaining sofa seams, bottoms, backs, etc. are wrapped with other materials.

This method of production saves materials and is cheaper than that of full genuine leather. However, the market also calls this kind of half-leather sofa a leather sofa, everyone should distinguish carefully, don't spend the price of full leather to buy a semi-leather sofa.

Another mention, the current hot technology cloth fabrics on the market are neither leather nor cloth. As a man-made fiber fabric, it has both the appearance of leather and the breathability of cloth, and it is also waterproof, stain-proof and wear-resistant.

Its most well-known advantage is anti-cat paws, which is a big boon for cat lovers' families, and the price is mostly relatively close to the people, and it is also a good choice of sofa fabric.

2. Look at the padding
The material of the sofa padding is closely related to the comfort of the seat. Common sofas are filled with down, latex, sponge, memory foam, doll cotton.

At present, the high-quality sofas on the market are usually filled with high-density sponge, plus down/latex/memory foam as the top layer. This costs a little more, but it is comfortable to sit and the sofa is not easy to collapse.

There is a special point to pay attention to about sponges, it is best to choose a one-piece sponge with a density greater than 35D, and the support will be better.

As for what surface to choose, it depends on the individual's need for a sense of sitting. The wrapping feeling of down will be stronger, the latex resilience will be better, the sitting feeling will be more elastic, and the fit of memory foam will be better.

Doll cotton, commonly found in the filling of dolls, is cheap, has good springback, and is convenient for molding. In most cases, it will be used as a sofa cushion bag, and the cushion bag does not need to consider the collapse problem. Better quality sofas are also filled with down as a cushion bag.

3. Choose the frame
If the padding affects the sitting feeling and comfort of the sofa. That frame is the foundation of the sofa, which directly affects the firmness and service life of the sofa.

Frames are generally divided into solid wood, saka wood combination, and metal frames. Most of the frames of sofas currently on the market are made of wood.

No matter what kind of wooden frame, be sure to put environmental protection first when purchasing. It is best to let the seller show the formaldehyde test report, as long as it meets the national standard, you can basically rest assured.

The bottom support structure of the sofa is also a key point for purchase.

When buying, be sure to ask the merchant about the material. If it is not a pure solid wood structure, it is recommended that the limit wood square + serpentine spring + elastic bandage structure is better, one less, and there are bear children bouncing on the sofa at home may collapse...

In addition, do not buy non-woven fabrics on the back cover of the sofa, it will be broken with a poke. Try to choose cool cloth or better cloth to be stronger and more durable.
