How do you find the right upholstered furniture? How do you recognize the quality of the best quality home products – a sofa, mattress, rugs etc. and at what prices should you expect? These aspects re crucial for you to consider before buying these items – especially online. The guide to buying upholstered furniture gives you all the important aspects to find the right piece.
Note that a sofa in a furniture store looks different in size than yours at home. Therefore, make a room sketch and, enter the dimensions. Check also how much space doors or drawers need to open. By the way: sofas can be big. Since it may happen that a particular model cannot be delivered to every household, because it does not fit through the door. If the furniture store offers an oversize service, use it to avoid expensive mistakes.
Determine the appropriate upholstery
In principle, you can differentiate between firm, and casual in the upholstery. With the solid (or classic) upholstery you sit on the sofa. With the soft padding, the sofa adapts your posture and you sink a little more while sitting. In addition, casual padding develops a characteristic wave formation. For older people, you can opt to the sofa with a medium-hard surface, or memory foam bean bag sofa. Why? Because it gives the older persons solid seating base with maximum seating comfort so that they have less pressure on their joints, knees, hip bones, etc. In general, older people prefer to sit on firm padding, as this facilitates getting up. Younger people prefer casual upholstery. These preferences reduce the agony of choice because numerous sofa models do not even come in the final selection.
Check the quality critically
The closer and more precisely the stitches of the seams run, the better the quality. Follow the course of the seam along the longest possible sighting path. Ask the seller what material is the frame of the sofa. In the best case, it is made of solid wood. Alternatively also partially wood materials. Pay attention to official quality seals. This covers all quality requirements. A pungent smell indicates Asian container goods. These sofas are likely to contain toxin residues since all containers are chemically treated during transport. Stay away from it, because it threatens health hazards. And of course the seat, as in bad processing disturbing noises are heard.
The bed and the mattress
The bed is probably the most used piece of furniture. Depending on how sensitive and, hygienic you are, you should, therefore, buy a new latex hybrid mattress set every five to eight years. But the search is not easy because of the large variety of products. And to distinguish themselves from the competition, manufacturers constantly throw new names and, variations on the market. This makes orientation even more difficult. In any case, you have to test a mattress first because the information is not standardized and, each manufacturer in his assignments is sometimes very subjective. Moreover, mattresses should be pulled through the furniture stores better in the morning because during the day your own perception becomes more and, more dull, making it even harder to feel the nuances of the differences. By the way, the way you like to fall asleep also plays a role in choosing the right degree of hardness.
