When purchasing any upholstered furniture, except for appearance, it is recommended to take into account other aspects, such as operational and other characteristics. Following the advice of specialists, you can choose the most suitable sofa model that will last for many years. Here are a few of them:
- Style. Decide how you will use the furniture, for example, how you sit on it. If you are a fan of lying on the sofa in a reclining position, then a soft sofa with with numerous pillows, and if you are a fan of sitting upright, then a hard sofa, with solid pillows and the armrests.
- Convenience.

- The back. The back of the sofa is solid or consists of several parts in the form of pillows. In home interiors, a sofa with a composite back is better.
- Rama. In high-quality production, frames are made of birch or beech. These wood species have increased strength, providing a long service life of the product. In this case, either an array or a frame of components is used. Oak frames are also highly durable, but they cost a lot more. In addition to wood, the frames are also made of metal, although such furniture is rarely used in the home interior.

- Springs or foam rubber. The main material for filling the seat and pillows of the sofa is foam rubber or springs. Each of them has its positive and negative sides. Spring sofas, for example, are suitable for people with a sore back, who are advised to sit or lie on a hard surface, but during operation they often can go outside. Foam rubber, although soft, is an artificial material, which is unacceptable to some people. There is a more expensive filling - latex.

Microfiber upholstery models are very popular today. One of the most expensive upholstery options is chenille, which is a natural material. Tapestry upholstery may be the budget option.

- The mechanism. If you get a sofa for a berth, then it should be folding. The simplest model is a sofa book. There are also mechanisms such as Eurobook, French book. The disadvantage of this mechanism is the small space for sleep. The retractable mechanism provides a more spacious place to sleep, such models are suitable for rooms with a large area.
- Doomka. These are small pillows that create additional comfort and have various fillers - foam balls, fluff, holofiber.

- Trends. Experts recommend buying direct sofas in neutral colors that will fit into any interior. If you want novelty, you can order a new cover.
