In modern homes, sofas are often custom-made or purchased during the later stages of home renovation, which requires consumers to have some understanding of sofa selection. So, what are the corresponding selection methods for different types of sofas? Below, Delo leather sofas will share some selection methods for different types of sofas.
Currently, the most common sofas on the market are genuine leather sofas and fabric sofas. These two types of sofas have the largest market share and are used by the most people. First, let's talk about how to choose genuine leather sofas. The most crucial aspect of choosing a genuine leather sofa is selecting the leather surface. Genuine leather sofa manufacturers generally use materials such as cowhide to make sofas. If the leather surface has a rich luster, no scars, and a fine texture, and when you pinch a section with your fingertips and pull it upwards, it should feel supple and strong, then this is high-quality leather.
When purchasing a fabric sofa, pay attention to the following: the seat and back covers should ideally be removable. High-end fabric sofas usually have cotton linings, and other easily soiled parts should be washable. Fabric sofa manufacturers often use cotton, linen, or velvet fabrics; these fabrics should be relatively thick to ensure durability. Also, check that the fabric has fine, smooth warp and weft threads, no skipped stitches, no exposed seams, and feels taut to the touch.
For example, with common living room leather or fabric sofas, you should check if the frame is sturdy. Generally, sofa frames are made of solid wood, constructed from square timber nailed together and secured with side panels. You can lift the sofa to feel its weight; sofas made of plywood or PVC panels are lighter, while solid wood frames are heavier. You can also shake the entire sofa back and forth and side to side repeatedly to check its sturdiness. A sturdy frame ensures the sofa's long-term stability and prevents it from collapsing or deforming.
