Posted by Gabriela Martinez on Oct 22nd 2020

Check this list before purchasing the sofa of your dreams and meet the classic Florence Knoll sofa.

As an interior design fanatic and lover of mid-century modernity, I always read reviews and blogs on topics related to this topic - for the record, I'm just a newbie to the topic - so when my friends start planning the decorating your home come to ask me which sofa is in fashion or which one I think suits your style. For this reason, I thought that it is important that people know what factors to consider before acquiring the sofa of their dreams so that they themselves can know which is the best option.

Selecting the right sofa according to your needs and preferences can become an easy task when you plan it and are aware of the product you are buying. I have summarized here the main things that you should consider before buying not only a sofa but also any furniture.

Types of sofas

You probably don’t know but there are different models of sofas, here I listed the most recognized ones:

Modular: this is the configurable sofa, which you can customize the layout with the sofa components. An example of a modular sofa is the Mario Bellini Camaleonda.

Standard: This sofa provides space for 3 persons, an example of this is the Florence Knoll sofa, which has standard dimensions and easily provides support for 3 persons.

Loveseat: it is made for two-person, if you are a romantic one, this sofa is for you and your partner!

All right, now that we have learned about the types of sofas you will be more clear at the moment of selecting your sofa, let’s continue!

Pay attention to the frame!

Try to invest in a good quality frame. The structure of the sofa is very important because this part of the sofa is the one that will support the weight of the user and the cushions. In this way, you will have a kind of guarantee of the duration of the sofa. Taking the example of the Florence Knoll sofa above, this sofa has polished stainless steel for support and is adjustable for different floor surfaces. Very suitable for those looking for a durable sofa.

Upholstery materials

The most popular upholstery material is aniline and full-grain leather, both of which show natural finishes and are resistant to drastic changes in temperature.

Cushions materials

The way a cushion is stuffed will tell you how comfortable it is. When selecting a sofa for its cushions, try to choose the one that is filled with dense foam, these are more resistant and durable.
