The best sofas for an exceptional value for money | Factory Street

In this article we will present the different types of sofas available on the market and the criteria to take into consideration to choose the best model with an excellent quality-price ratio. This buying guide will help you find the ideal sofa for your living room without compromising your budget.

The different types of sofas based on their use

To choose the right sofa you must first identify your needs in terms of use. Sofa models are available in different categories:

• Fixed sofas: They are generally more comfortable than convertibles thanks to their design optimized for relaxation. These sofas are perfect for those who do not intend to regularly use their sofa as an extra bed.
• Transformable sofas: They have a mechanism to transform the sofa into a bed. This type of sofa is very practical for small spaces or if you occasionally need extra sleep.
• Corner sofas: They are ideal for optimizing space in the living room and creating a welcoming relaxation area. Some corner sofas are also available with the convertible option.

Materials for making sofas

The choice of materials plays a crucial role in the quality and durability of your sofa. The main types of materials used for sofas are:

• Tissue : There is a wide range of fabrics available on the market, from synthetic fibers to natural fibers such as cotton or linen. The choice of fabric will depend on your aesthetic preferences but also on the ease of maintenance and resistance to wear.
• Add: Leather sofas are renowned for their elegance and longevity. However, they require regular maintenance and can be more expensive than fabric sofas.

Polyurethane and microfibre

Polyurethane and microfiber are two interesting alternatives to traditional fabrics. Polyurethane mimics the look of leather without the need to pay the price. Furthermore, it is easy to maintain and water resistant. Microfiber is characterized by its softness and robustness against stains and wear, making it a popular choice for families with children.

The comfort of the sofa

It is essential to evaluate the comfort level of a sofa before making a purchase. Indeed, even if you like a model visually, it will not necessarily be pleasant to use. Here are some things to consider when evaluating the comfort of a sofa:

• The quality of the suspension: They are important to ensure good support for your body when you sit. Some suspensions, such as pocket springs or elastic straps, provide better comfort than others.
• The density of the foams: Too low a density can cause the foam to settle quickly, while too high a density can cause discomfort. A good density is generally between 25 and 35 kg/m³.
• The welcome of the sofa: It depends on the structure of the covering and the flexibility of the cushions. It is therefore necessary to test different models to find the one that best suits your preferences.
