We highlight things to think about before you buy, whether online or in person, including the type and the style you want, what size will fit in your home, how to check for quality construction, how many people you want to seat, and what you should avoid (and invest in) based on your lifestyle. We also have a checklist to help you shop and for post-delivery, while the return window is still open. See extra information on couches for sale Durban.

How much the sofa will be used? Our sofa buying guide coudn’t not omit this topic! The type of sofa will be easier to select when you think about how much you will use your sofa. Are there small children in the house? Or maybe your dog or cat loves to sleep on the sofa? Then you should choose a model upholstered with a suitable fabric that will prevent it from getting dirty or damaged. In our offer, you will find sofas whose coverings feature very good resistance to abrasion, which significantly reduces the risk of damage, and at the same time are extremely soft and silky to the touch. There are also sofas with fabrics covered with a special protective coating, which prevents absorption of liquids. Others can be dry-cleaned. Information about the fabrics can be found in the description of each product on the website.

Keep all of this in mind as you pick out the cushion style, fabric, and overall look you want. Coupled with the sizing of the piece—you might want a sectional if you have a big family or love to lounge, for instance, or you might live in a smaller space and need an apartment sofa (or loveseat) to make it work—this will lead you towards a purchase you love. When it comes to comfort, style matters as much as materiality. You’ll find that sofas come with either a tight seat or loose seat (and same with the back cushions). Tight Seat: If the seat is all one long cushion, that’s considered a tight seat or a bench seat. “These are good for desks and dining seating, like chairs or banquettes,” Quintana says. “Tight seats are also great for entertainment and conversing as well as you have to sit more upright.” Williams notes that tight seats are the most firm option, and Schmitz says that while bench seats like this are pleasing to the eye, they do tend to wrinkle more due to the more expansive length of fabric.

Some sofas ship fully assembled, some ship with detached legs and separate cushions, and others require more-extensive assembly. Note the sofa’s widest dimension. Some companies, like Sucasa Durban, include the dimensions of the boxes that the components will arrive in, so you can make sure they’ll fit around corners and through doors. You also can usually find out how a sofa ships—in sections that just need joining or completely disassembled—in the company FAQ or by emailing customer service. (And if you can’t find this out, it’s a good sign that you might want to consider a different company.) Discover additional details at sucasadesigns.co.za.
