It’s the centerpiece of every living room and the most used piece of imported furniture that will hopefully be around for many years to come. Needless to say, it’s a commitment.

Sofa consideration factors

More than just a computer or phone that we buy to get us through the next few years, all type of sofa sets last a lot longer and are much more expensive.

Before we introduce you into our top sofa picks of the year, spend some time thinking about what your needs are and how that sofa will work and it is going to factor in. “Best” differ from person to person after all so here’s a list of not so obvious things that you might be consider to think about:

Sofa Style

Ask yourself if your living room settled into its identity. If it is, you’ll want a luxury sofa design with a shape and colour that matches it; if you’re still planning to change things up, you’ll want a more versatile sofa that can adapt to different styles as you discover your own tastes.

Future-proofing

To future-proof your home, consider you are choosing flexible designs and, more importantly, flexible sofas that are versatile enough to change up when you need something different. In particular, we’re a big fans of modular sofa. They give the option to build upon your sofa in so many different ways. From extra seating, storage, lounges and even convertible sofa bed, sectionals have it all. You just have to select the right one. The best part is that you don’t even have to make the choice immediately on that time. Just get the basic sectional modular sofas and expand it how you want when the time comes and your needs change.

Extra Features

Somehow over the years, the common sofas have evolved to accommodate a variety of secondary functionality. Obviously sofa beds are a common sofa hybrid now, especially useful for homes that accommodate lots of guests. Storage sofas are also becoming some popularity for those who looking to save space.

Brand

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable buying a sectional sofas from a manufacturer that, I don’t know. It just doesn’t give you that sense of return policies that you’re getting a product that you know you can trust. But it goes so much deeper than that. From return policies, to customer service to logistics and even status symbols, the Brand does matter. And some are definitely better than others.

The best and most comfortable sofas of the year

Perhaps the classiest sofa on this list, the Furniturewalla’s sofa sets is the perfect choice for those who want to spend extravagantly, but not too much. Those looking for a sofa candidate to last their lifetime would do well to acquaint themselves with Simplicity Sofas or any of their other sofas really. Born to be the ultimate sofa for practical minded folk, the Brandon is styled after the classic square arm sofa – nothing exciting there. That’s impressive in itself, but to top it off you can also buy replacement parts for just about every part of the sofa if the unthinkable happens. You can replace the armrests, cushions, designer cushion covers and any sectional components for the sectional version of the sofa sets.

How to get the sofa of your dreams

It’s the perfect height off the ground and the cushions are just how you like them – only that it doesn’t quite jive with the rest of your home.
