The experts at DFS highlight a few things you need to think about.

How to Purchase the Perfect Sofa

Comfort

Comfort is very subjective and you spend a significant amount of time on your sofa, so it’s important that whatever sofa you choose is comfortable for you and how you like to lounge. If you like to stretch out, make sure the sofa is long enough or opt for a chaise end sofa or a recliner. If there are two of you and you prefer to sit with your legs up, check that the sofa is deep enough to accommodate you both. Also make sure that the depth and height of the seat is comfortable for you – taller customers may find that a sofa with a higher back offers them a little extra neck support.
