Buyer’s Guide
WHAT IS THE BEST FILLING FOR SOFA SEATS AND CUSHIONS?
Most sofa seats are filled with foam as it is a common filling that comes in different densities. However, depending on the texture you’re going for different foam will surely be able to bring it out. Note that if you’re going for a firm feeling then high-density foam would be the best option, however some people may end up with cushions that are too hard. With soft-density foam you’re sure to get a soft feeling almost fluffy to a medium foam feeling, which is probably the best. Also if foam isn’t really for you, you could try other fillings like feathers or stauff, maybe cotton as well.
WHAT SOFA SIZE SHOULD I BUY?
It’s a common mistake, where people either underestimate or overestimate the size of their space. They end up with sofas that are too big or too small making the whole look less of the intended idea. The major rule to follow when buying a couch is that it should never fit the entire length wall to wall, there should be at least an 18″ allowance on either side of the couch. If its too hard to do, you could hire interior experts to tell you which size would best suit your room size and style.
WHAT IS THE MOST COMFORTABLE SEAT DEPTH?
The comfort of a sofa is relative. It depends on the user, how they use it and what they use it for. An average sofa has a seat depth of 21 to 24 inches, but there are other ranges as well. As stated above, depending on how you use it and what you use it for, if you’re some who enjoys sitting upright in a sofa, it would be best to get a sofa with a shorter depth but that will also vary with your height. So if you can, when buying a sofa give it a feel before buying it
HOW CAN I PROTECT MY SOFA FROM STAINS?
Well if you have a waterproof material sofa you really don’t have to worry about stains. If you however have a fabric couch, the struggle is real and the best solution would be to buy a stain guard or waterproof covers for your sofa.
HOW CAN I MAKE MY SOFA SOFTER?
When you get a new sofa, the first days won’t be as comfortable, especially if it’s brand-new and not pre-owned. Brand-new sofas will require breaking in for a while before you start to feel the comfort they promised you. So if you want the quickest way to make your sofa softer, you could try sitting on it as much as possible and even have your friends help too.
WHAT COLOR SOFA SHOULD I BUY?
This is a tricky question, we’d need to know what you’re looking and where it’s going to go. However you could get sofas with a neutral color, this will give it a blank slate meaning it will fit in any setting. Colors like Beige, Nudes, White, Black and different shades of Grey usually allow any sofa to blend in with their surroundings. Avoid getting bright colors like Red, Pink, Green or Orange if you’re not sure.
IS SITTING ON A SOFA BAD FOR YOUR BACK?
To avoid any pain at all sitting on a sofa with a good posture is the best way. Make sure your knees and hips are at the same value, make sure that your back is supported properly and keep both feet flat on the floor. This is what any doctor would tell you. If you’re prone to feeling aches avoid sitting without support, and don’t cross your legs or sit with them bent on the couch as well.
WHAT KIND OF INSECTS CAN LIVE IN MY SOFA?
Well so many insects can find comfort on and in your sifa as well from fleas especially if your pets are regular visitors, to dust mites, termites, pretty much any household bug when given allowance can take refuge on and in your couch. The best way is to make sure your sofa is always clean, removes dust so as to avoid dust mites , get covers if you have pets to avoid flea invasion, as for termites and others you could just call exterminators to proof the whole house and save more than just the couch.
CAN I CHANGE THE COLOR OF MY SOFA?
The simple answer is Yes, you can it’s not unheard of. Either they reupholster the sofa with a different color material and they just paint over the existing color. Note, incase you are a DIY fan there is a specific upholstery paint for fabric, so don’t go getting your can spray.
