How to stop choosing when buying a sofa?

When buying a sofa, you have to pay attention not only to manufacturing materials and volume, but also to the dimensions of "the seat".The good depth of the seat and the height of the backrest are essential to comfort.Most furniture has a depth of the seat of around 50-60 cm and a height of the seat which varies between 45 and 60 cm.Normally, manufacturers allow you to test the furniture selected in the store.Whether it's a leather sofa or a fabric, it's a matter of taste, but also of lifestyle.For families with small children or pets, a leather sofa is not exactly the right choice.Please choose a fabric sofa and add a sofa cover for even easier maintenance.
