Quick Tips for Buying a New Sofa

It’s always a good idea to spend some time working out what you want from a piece of furniture before making a purchase, and this is especially true when it comes to sofas.

The first piece of advice we offer any new sofa buyer is to always try before you buy and take your time when doing so.

Different sofas are made from different materials, feature different measurements and offer different levels of comfort,  so sit yourself down and see if meets your requirements.

We also recommend you look for sofas with a high-quality frame and take note of the guarantee as this piece of furniture will be heavily used for a number of years.

It’s also a good idea to check what cushion filling is used, as different fillings call for different levels of care e.g. feather-filled cushions require regular plumping while foam and fibre-filled cushions are more prone to flattening.

Spend a little time working out what you want from your sofa and you’ll find the buying process becomes simpler, quicker and more fulfilling.
