Here are 6 essential rules to choose a practical and user-friendly sofa in Israel:
1 – Space
The dimensions of your room will greatly influence your choice of sofa size and shape. To avoid ending up with bulky furniture, take the time to draw a scale plan of your living room. This will save you a lot of time. You will have a better idea of how much space you have and what size furniture will suit your room (two, three, four seats; straight or L-shaped).
Specialists in store will be able to help you choose the right model based on the space you have, based on your plan.
2 – The Budget
You’re likely to literally fall in love with a sofa while browsing furniture stores. But to prevent your wallet from holding it against you for many years, define the budget you have before you start shopping. The prices of sofas vary mainly according to the type of covering, their origin or their size.
Obviously buying a sofa is a major investment. However, well-chosen furniture will have a lifespan of at least 10 or 15 years!
3 – The Style
This choice can be complex and heartbreaking. A host of models and styles are offered, from classic with its wise shapes, to modern with its bold designs. Your choice will depend essentially on your tastes and your lifestyle. Be aware, however, that the style of your sofa will set the tone for the decoration of the whole room.
It is indeed recommended to select the colors of the walls after choosing your living room furniture, and not the other way around.
4 – The coating
Leather, cotton, suede, synthetic fabrics…they all have their pros and cons. Make your choice of covering taking into account your needs and lifestyle. If you plan to use your sofa daily and you have children, leather and vinyl are ideal for you since they are sturdy, do not stain and are easy to clean.
Cotton or polyester covers are also ideal since, in addition to being affordable, they can be cleaned in the washing machine. If, on the contrary, your sofa will only be used periodically, you can afford slightly richer materials such as suede, which requires more maintenance.
5 – Quality
You don’t want a sofa whose springs will make you suffer after a few months of use, so the structure has to be strong. Look for hardwood assemblies, such as beech and plywood, where the crosspieces are screwed and glued. Also pay attention to the suspension: it must have good support without being too firm. Look for a suspension made of criss-cross nylon straps that always spring back to their original shape.
The upholstery of the seats, backrest and armrests is also something to consider. The foam used for the padding must be high density to ensure comfort, good lumbar support and above all, good durability!
6 – The sitting
The ultimate step! Sit down on the couch(s) that caught your attention. Of course, you should feel good about it, but your feet should also be on the ground. Some sofas with very wide seats become uncomfortable over time. It is also important that your back is well supported by the backrest.
Don’t hesitate to seek professional advice. Above all, do not buy anything on a whim. You could bite your fingers for a long time!
