How to Buy a Top-Quality Sofa

Buying a quality sofa takes patience. It should not be a rushed decision. Your budget will help you decide where to shop and you can find top quality sofas at discount stores or retail stores but it is easier to find top-quality sofas at traditional furniture stores.

Instructions

- 1
  Examine the fabric to determine how long lasting it is. A higher thread count, which is the number of threads per square inch, means a more durable fabric.
- 2
  Ensure that the pattern is lined up correctly from the bottom of the sofa to the top of the sofa. Parts of a pattern that do not line up could be a sign of poor construction.
- 3
  Check out if the sofa has been treated with Scotch Guard. Scotch Guard protects a sofa from spills, stains and fading.
- 4
  Choose 100-percent high-density foam when looking at a foam-filled couch. This type of foam will last over the months. Foam is good for those who have allergy concerns because it is hypoallergenic.
- 5
  Look for kiln-dried quality frames of hard word such as oak, maple or pine. There's no excess moisture in kiln-dried or air-dried woods.
