How to choose a corner sofa for the house, what to look for

Every day the demand for corner sofas is growing. They began to be popular quite a long time ago, and today the range of corner sofas in furniture stores is striking in its wealth.

Corner sofas are very different in shape, color, lining material and design, but they all occupy a fairly large area in the apartment. This sets them apart from the rest of the sofas. For small apartments this is quite inconvenient. What is the advantage of corner sofas? In order to answer this question, you need to get acquainted with this piece of furniture.

Corner sofas can be with the right or left corner, can be in the form of the letter P. In addition, there are block, sectional and integral corner sofas.

Before you go to a furniture store to buy such a sofa, you need to decide where exactly in the apartment you put it. It depends on which corner sofa is right for you.

The most common option is a sofa consisting of two or three parts, and you can also purchase a sofa immediately complete with an ottoman. It is very convenient in that four or more people can be accommodated on such a couch, and when unfolded it turns into a large berth for a comfortable sleep.

In the production of corner sofas, the most diverse material is used. However, the most common materials are wood and metal. Traditionally, the frame of the sofa is made of wood, and metal structural elements can already be built into it. In order for the fixation points not to wear out and the furniture not to creak, the wood must first be well dried.

In the case when the furniture is made of coniferous trees, the frame must be subject to additional paint treatment. This is to prevent the release of resin.

As for furniture upholstery, both artificial and natural materials are equally suitable for it. The most high-quality and durable material for furniture upholstery is genuine leather, but it is too expensive and belongs to the class of noble materials. More popular were more inexpensive options for upholstery made of artificial material, for example, velor, vinyl, flock. In addition, upholstery made from several types of material looks great.

As for the corner sofa, its upholstery can last much longer due to the fact that manufacturers most often make replaceable covers for them. With their help, you can not only extend the life of the sofa, but also change its appearance, and, therefore, bring something new to the interior.

The base of the seats of the corner sofa is now made of polyurethane foam (previously they were made of spring blocks), characterized by reliability, practicality and durability. To give the sofa extra softness, the upholstery of the “sitting” blocks is made of fluff or synthetic winterizer.

And finally, when buying a sofa, you must pay attention to the folding mechanism. “The dolphin and the clamshell sofa wear out faster than anyone with frequent folding.” More reliable sofa "eurobook" or sliding. However, when buying the latter, you must definitely pay attention to the rubberized wheels. For all the time of its existence, the sofa is considered the most reliable sofa. Made with an accordion mechanism. It breaks less often and is suitable for frequent use for sleep.

In conclusion, I would like to say that buying a sofa from dubious sellers, you run the risk of acquiring furniture that will break almost immediately. Therefore, if there is a choice between quality and price, you should still choose quality.
