YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO THIS WHEN BUYING A SOFA

The focal point of your living room is the sofa. In our online shop you will find the right sofa for every taste. The following points will help you to find out which aspects and criteria the perfect sofa must meet and make your selection and decision easier.

THE ROOM DIMENSIONS

First you think about where you want to put the sofa. It is best to measure the area and determine the maximum size of the sofa. Then make a room sketch. Draw in the existing furniture and enter the dimensions. This sketch can be very helpful in the furniture store, since a sofa in the furniture store often looks smaller than in your home.

THE SEAT COMFORT

The upholstery of the sofa is primarily decisive for the seating comfort. If the padding is too soft, the user will literally sink into it. We recommend models in which the upholstery has a high foam density and is provided with a spring base. These are more suitable for a pleasant and cozy seating comfort. One tip is the on-site test. Drive to the furniture store and try a seat. You can visit our showroom in Cologne-Lövenich every day from Mon-Sat between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. and try out and compare seats. Convince yourself which sofa meets your seating comfort needs.

THE REFERENCE

Sofas come in a wide variety of materials. The most common are, for example, cotton, leather and imitation leather. When making a decision, it is not just a matter of your preference, but also what demands are placed on the sofa in everyday life. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages. A leather sofa is the nobler variant. It is very durable and sturdy. Even difficult stains can be easily wiped and removed. It also offers a high level of seating comfort. However, a leather sofa is often more maintenance-intensive than a fabric sofa. A fabric sofa scores above all with its multitude of color and pattern options. They are also priced far below the price level of a leather sofa.

THE CARE

Again, fabric sofas and leather sofas differ in terms of time and effort. Regular tapping of the upholstery is important for fabric sofas. This removes dust particles and aerates the material. In general, regular ventilation of the room is important. You should also vacuum your fabric sofa from time to time and wipe it down with a clean, damp cloth from time to time. A leather sofa should be wiped down once a week with a soft cotton cloth to remove dust. It is also advisable to use leather care from time to time, which is tailored to the type of leather and is applied according to the instructions for use.

The last question you can ask yourself is whether your dream sofa can be delivered to your home. It is quite possible that your dream sofa has dimensions that exceed the transport capacity in your car. It can help if the furniture store offers a delivery service.
