10 tips acquiring sofa

Not very pleasant to stand in the middle of a furniture shop in complete confusion, helpless touch trim is very expensive sofa or wall panel suspiciously inexpensive and does not know what's yet to buy ...

Nobody wants to make the wrong choice, so you always think that cabinet will soon fall apart, the bed will be harmful to health, the wall will become obsolete, and in general, money, sorry! To no such thing happened, we offer these ten tips for choosing the couch :

1. If you are - private buyer, be sure to sit down on the sofa vending products you even try to lie down. If the sofa (and most likely, this is exactly, and you'll get), try to arrange it a few times. You do not have to stand on ceremony with the arrangements, because you have gone through that same procedure many times!

2. If you are a wholesale buyer and profit for the furniture at the factory, be sure to look at how furniture is made (or at least from what). If you refuse to devote to the process, look for other manufacturers.

3. Sofa frame is made of well-dried lumber. (In some factories it is not respected enough that even the waterproof fabric and foam covering the frame). Some elements of the CPD are allowed, but they must be covered with protective paint - so that does not emit harmful to human health formaldehyde resin. Unseasoned frame will wither in your apartment and the couch, because of this - squeak.

4. Your sofa can be soft due to foam, a spring unit, polyurethane foam. Stated unequivocally that the best is difficult. It depends on your preferences as you enjoy one or another packing. But there are some patterns.What is softer foam, the faster it crumbles. Cushions stuffed sinteponovoy or foam crumb, very quickly lose their shape. The sign of good manners is to use solid pieces of foam rubber. Firms that care about their prestige, all sofa covers supply of lightning, the buyer could, firstly, to find out at what he will sit, and secondly, to change over time packing. In a properly designed models cushions placed at a slight angle, gently supported sitting under your knees, not allowing him to move out. If this is a solid block of polyurethane foam (PUR), he will have a slight edge.

5. Pull mechanism - one of the most important elements in the couch. It is of three kinds: "Book" (put forward by half a seat and leans back), "clamshell" (a mechanism that expands into a bunk and is located under the seat) and pull-out. From "TIR" Most of the factories have declined, because the mechanisms for quality are now almost no one produces. It remains to choose between the clamshell and rising.

6. If you choose the sofa, cot, find out what made "sleeper" reliance clamshell mechanism. The most well considered bearing lats (a spring-loaded plate of veneer. It is best if they are about 12), and should preferably be located across the armor of the bed. In second place furniture manufacturers hold the belt support and at the third - the metal mesh.

7. Remember that all imported sofas are not designed for that they will be used as beds. It is rather a sleeping place for guests and the hosts had long been sleeping on an orthopedic mattress.

8. If you like the sliding mechanism, check out what made boxes for clothes: you should see the plywood instead of hardboard or chipboard. The bottleneck of the drawers - roller mechanism. It is unlikely that you will be lucky with rolls, if you buy a sofa at the little-known manufacturer or with hands.

9. Padding. Flock (fabric with pile, deposited by electrostatic powder coatings), all already tired, but it is easily cleaned and not brand. Large factories will never use our flock and flock to try to avoid "dry" deposition due to very strong electrostatic. Now it has become very popular upholstery tapestry shinila or jacquard - woven from the materials. But the difficulty is that jacquard, for example, be subject only to dry cleaning. The ideal would be a fabric with Teflon coating: water, tea, coffee just fall from the sofa upholstered in a cloth, leaving no trace. But the price! Price may scare.

10. And finally, the culture of production. There are different little things which immediately clear who was doing this sofa: the master or lomastar. Self-respecting plant knocked back the same upholstery fabric as before. And the same fabric stretched between the bottom and pillows. You can see how neatly filled seams, how exactly is a series of staples, sew upholstery. All the little things indicate how long you will serve your new sofa.
