It is wonderful to spend time in the living room, enjoying with family, watching TV, or chatting with friends. But among so many sofa models, how to choose the star of your rest? Follow this article to find the comfortable sofa of your dreams.

How to choose a comfortable sofa

Before going shopping, it is important to have some precise information in hand: what is the size of the space where the sofa will be seated? What is the limit of the size that the seat can have so as not to compromise the minimum passage of 60 centimeters? Which upholstery will best suit your daily life? With this in hand, the next step is to evaluate the options:

The perfect dimensions

A large sofa is not always the most comfortable. The most important thing is to think about the dimensions of the room. For those who will not give up a modern sofa, decorative pillows can embellish and offer the comfort of the backrest. If you are looking for a sofa for a small living room, the famous retractable ones may be the solution, so the circulation will not be compromised by definite.

Practical and functional

Also for small living rooms, choosing a functional sofa makes all the difference. A model with armrests, for example, besides giving a cozier feeling, is perfect to serve as a support (thus not needing side tables). The sofa bed is practical, with dual functionality and ideal for optimizing space.

Ergonomics is everything

Testing the comfort of the sofa makes a big difference and reduces the risk of dissatisfaction. Therefore, it is important to visit a physical store and check the ergonomics of each desired model, even if the intention is to buy later online. Do not think twice before sitting, even lying down, opening the seat if it is retractable, moving the backrest and getting to know all the features of the sofa.

Cozy upholstery

Suede sofa and linen sofa are highly cozy, indicated to accommodate people for a long period of time. Although they are more sensitive materials, a good waterproofing of the sofa can favor durability. The leather sofa, despite being very beautiful, is more suitable for living environments (where people spend a short time accommodated), because its thermal sensation, both in cold daysas in hot, it is not cozy.

Spring or foam?

Choosing between spring and foam will depend a lot on your budget. A spring sofa, although more expensive, offers greater durability, since the material prevents the seat from sinking over the years. A foam sofa, on the other hand, may have a shorter life span, but it is more affordable.

With the characteristics that indicate comfort noted down, it is easier to think about the color of the sofa and fit all the requirements into the ideal model to match the decor of the room. Aesthetics are important, but it is not necessary to give up coziness to have a perfect environment, right?
