When my husband and I were first married, I dragged him from store to store trying to find the perfect sofa. We didn’t even think about ordering off of Amazon, but rather just settled for what we could find in our local area. We did manage to find a nice sofa which we have had for about 9 years now.
There are a couple things to consider before investing in a sofa.
1- Make Sure It Is Comfortable. A sofa is supposed to look good, and feel comfortable. If it just looks good, chances are, you will never use it if it is just stiff and uptight.
2. Don’t Go Armless- Yes, we made that mistake. When you sit down, you naturally want somewhere to rest your arms and head. Could your head rest on the sides without feeling awkward? Could you put your feet up? Do you think you could read your favorite book in it? Throw pillows never stay on the ends of a armless sofa. Just avoid these.
3. Consider The Fabric – For the most part our sofas were kept in fantastic condition, that is…..until we got cats. If the material is a loose weave, it just might be used as a scratching pad. Loose woven materials are irresistible to your fur friends, so consider asking for a swatch before buying online.
4. Go For Something Plain- You will thank yourself when you decide to redecorate with a different pattern down the road. It is less expensive to exchange out throw pillows than it is to buy a new sofa.
5. Look For A Lengthy Sofa- There is nothing like a long couch where you can really stretch out on. If you can snuggle up on the couch with your spouse, it might be one of those rituals that just keeps you close. For those Saturday night movies, you want something you can lay on, because who sits up for an entire movie?
Below are a few top designer tips for picking out the best sofa. In addition, enjoy what I think are the best 39 picks for sofa’s online.
“No sofa is worth its salt if you can’t lie flat on it and take a nap. My perfect length is eight feet. For a less mushy look, I like tight backs with loose seat cushions. But do you go for two cushions, or three? If you only have two cushions, you’ll only ever get two people to sit on it at once—no one wants to sit on the seam. You can also go for a single cushion,which might look more inviting’ but you’ll have to keep fluffing it up” ALEXA HAMPTON
“Change your pillow story. Nothing is about matching and everything is about layering. I just bought a gorgeous needlepoint pillow of the British flag and threw it on my white linen sofa, in a blue-and-white room that also has tangerine and purple velvet in it. Everyone thinks I redid the room.” BARCLAY BUTERA
“A sofa should look good from the back, in case you want to liberate it from the wall and float it in a room somewhere down the line.” MALCOLM JAMES KUTNER
“Get a classic shape: It will fit anywhere. And don’t skimp. A sofa with a well-made frame and eight-way hand-tied springs in the seat deck can last 30 years. Re-covering usually costs less than half the price of a new sofa, and a good upholsterer can create a whole new look. I remember those old Clarence House ads that ran for years. They always showed just the end of a traditional scroll-armed sofa, but each time it looked completely different because of the fabrics and trimmings.” GARY HUTTON
“Seat height is the most overlooked comfort measurement when people buy a sofa. You don’t want it to be so low that your knees fly up when you sit down, or so high that your feet barely touch the floor. Go for any length you want, but go for a seat height of 18 to 19 inches. Your body will thank you.” WHITNEY STEWART
“The back should be 50/50 or 75/25 down and feather fill, but the seat shouldn’t be that soft. A foam core wrapped in down or a down-and- feather combination gives you a little more support for your bottom.” ERIKA BRUNSON
