5 best-kept secrets before buying the right sofa
While some may believe buying a sofa is a luxury, others consider sofas an essential part of homes that welcome guests and families alike. No matter how luxurious or conventional your sofa may be, they are considerable investments that should last for a span of at least five years. With the availability of various couch manufacturers nowadays, consumers are spoilt for choices, easily distracted by different designs marketed.
The longevity of a good quality sofa lies on these five best kept secrets that we think are useful tips to consider before buying your next showpiece!
Secret #1: How you lounge correlates with sofa seat depth
Seat depths refer to how far back you are able to rest, considering your natural ways of lounging at home helps with choosing the right kind of seat depth you need. For instance, if you like to snuggle and put your legs up, a deeper seat depth would be more appropriate.
Designing with a purpose for consumers in mind makes Urban Living one of the best couch manufacturer in Mumbai. People who are taller and have longer legs would want to choose loungers such as Andria and Napoli, so that they can easily recline back and stretch their feet out. Other sofas we’ve developed feature higher backrest and plush cushions like Gene and Romeo; their ample seat depths give good back support to carry out work on one’s phone or laptop.
Secret #2: Consider different types of sofa frames
The structure that props up sofas rely heavily on the material used for the frames. Some couches are built with a solid hardwood or veneered wood; understanding the type of wood guarantees how long it may last and how to best take care of it. Among our unique collections, we featured panelled sofa that have enveloped backrests, filled with dense foam and supported by a wooden board placed in between the sofa and panel. Two of our latest models, Pesaro and Milano features this concept, in our newly introduced Atmosphere Collection.
In the recent past, it may have been assuring to shop for sofas at stores, check seating and determine if the bed frame is in fact sturdy or not. However, given the current pandemic, it can be difficult to make a trip to a furniture store. This is where quality assurance, sofa descriptions and technical specifications all come in handy. Urban Living conforms to international ISO-9001 standards and all our sofa frames go through rigorous load testing to guarantee comfort.
Secret #3: Check materials used for sofa cushioning
Sofa cushion constructions are filled with different types of foam and fillings. The three basic ones include foam, coil springs and feathers. They all require different types of treatment to ensure that the sofa stays nicely propped and solid. Cushions that are filled with down feathers requires a lot plumping throughout a month but it keeps the sofa generally soft and snug. Foam filled seating can be made our of polyester fibre or foam; these do not require as much housekeeping as the material bounces back. Fibre filled cushions are less comfortable but are the most commonly used by sofa manufactures as it assures long lasting seating capabilities. Urban Living sofas are fibre and foam filled and are highly comfortable due to the quality of fibre used. Our Comfort and Freedom collection has a variety of sofas that are cosy; for instance, check out San Francisco Spectacle!
Secret #4: Choose the right fabric
Just like the plumpness of a sofa seating, the choice of upholstery you choose for your sofa is highly important as well. Sofa upholstery relates to the wear and tear of the seating as it is the firsthand surface that comes in contact to any kind of damage. As a highly experimental sofa manufacturer, we often test and try a variety of fabrics, ranging from velvet, Indian Chenille and cotton fabrics.
Our Imperia Collection for instance, features sofas and chairs with fine velvet fabric. These are tufted and upholstered in different ways, to capture attention and provide a soft touch. Check out elegant models like Madison Deluxe and Hayward Suave that each have striking buttoned backrests and high quality fabric finishes.
Secret #5: Tally the sofa dimensions to your living space measurements
Sofa dimensions discussed in our previous post are also important to consider in order to make sure your sofa lasts. An extensive sofa requires a lot attention due to the bigger surface area it may have. Modular seating is a feature we have recently launched; sofas such as Emilia and Bari can be configured based on space requirements.
Our Freedom Collection includes highly compact and easy-to-maintain sofas. These products, in addition to the Sofa-In-A-Box Range, are convenient as they are easy to assemble, this range is of the best quality sectional sofa collection line that we have. Favorites like Queenstown Kingly and Norwich Novelty are highly recommended for living rooms with limited space that want to make a statement when inviting guests over.
