Choosing sofa

First of all we should identify what for we need sofa? This is common question, but answers could be different. Someone need it for seating, someone for sleeping. For someone very important what other people will say about it. Well, generally we used to seat, sleep and rest. Therefore we should pay special attention for its style, quality and comfort of seatings.

First of all sofa should fit to your interior design. For example, in case of classic interior with wall units sideboards, chest of drawers and book shelves it's better to use sofas and chairs with puffy shapes with wooden armrests and decorative ornaments. From the other hand for modern styled interiors it's better to use light, elegant pieces without superfluous decorations.

Sofa's styles

Without a doubt, you will be choosing a sofa basing on own preferences. The classic styled sofa with wooden frames and upholstery will fit any room. And of course the style can follow the latest trends in Hi-Tech. The main thing is to chose the sofa so it will look fine in your room.

Before choosing sofa, you need to understand what exactly do you need - 2 or 3 sitter sofa. The 2 sitter sofa will be rather small if you're not living alone. So that's why 3 sitter's sofa is the most recommended solution. Otherwise we can recommend you a combination of 2 sitter sofa with several chairs. And for sure the sizes should exactly fit the room, or it will be pain otherwise! Also you should not trade the comfy for the style in any case.

The range of available sofas is huge, but if you will know more about your future purchase, then it will be easily to make a decision.

When you will be choosing the sofa, you should be very attentive, with material selection. Remember that the quality of it's materials will determine how long will it serve.

Upholstery with Teflon protects from liquids, dust and dirty, more of that it's easy to clean.  So, sofa with Teflon is perfect for big family where are a lot of children and pets.

Chenille is most expensive and elite material for sofa. It is soft and warm for skin, also usable with high quality.


Tapestry isn't fancy but look nice. Mostly, it consist of synthetic fibre, therefore it is usable and durable. This upholstery has huge selection of colors and ornaments, so it's easy to have sofa that meet your interior style.

If you need elegant sofa, then jacquard is what you need. It is also very expansive but look is chic.



Fibre is a new material which appeared not a long time ago. The fabric sofas upholstered with this material is very practical and efficient. Teflon coverage is the most typical way of fibra usage. Beside the steadiness from different liquids, dust, etc., this fabric has very good durability. If you will chose a fibre sofa, you will never worry that it could be burned by sun or will fade.




You should act with all responsibility when choosing the leather sofa. First of all the leather must be well dressed, otherwise it can crack after some time of usage. Also it's very important to control the quality of touch-ups.

Maybe there will be some models with unfasten pillows, but they will probably cost more. Leather sofas are not cheap anyway, so manufacturers, take responsibility for the products quality, and don't try to economize. For example, even back sides of sofas are made from the material of very good quality (same as front sides).

Air permeability - is a very useful feature of every sofa. It allows you to breath when contacting the upholstery. All these things are usually listed in specifications, which helps you to chose.

So now it is your decision what your sofa should be, what style and material you will chose!
