Your simple guide to buying a new sofa

If you can’t make up your mind which style sofa to get, you could always pick one that looks timeless, because you’ll probably be living with it for quite a while. To see the different styles, have a look in our living room and sofa image gallery. What kind of sofa do you need? Maybe a corner solution, or solutions with 2 or 3-seats? To design your sofa solution yourself, see our sofa planners.

Start by thinking about how you sit. Assess the seat height, seat depth and height of the backrest, as these have an impact on your sitting position, and always make sure the seating has enough space for laying comfortably. The materials in the cushions and frame mean that firmness may differ, so try them out and see what suits you.

Did you know that most people want to maximise the size of their sofa in their living room? It makes sense since the sofa often becomes the centre piece of the room and is a piece of furniture that needs to cater for a lot of activities to fit your lifestyle. Any way you look at it, a living room is hardly a living room without a sofa, so we hope this guide helps you to choose the right sofa for you.
