In the process of furniture purchase, the sofa is undoubtedly one of the core of the living room. However, some sofas seem to be beautiful and practical, but in fact there are many problems, can be called IQ tax, it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated. At the Shanghai Furniture Fair, there are relevant experts to popularize relevant knowledge to help visitors avoid some problematic sofa categories.

Low-quality leather sofas that over-pursue appearance

Leather sofas often give people a feeling of high-end atmosphere, but some cheap, poor quality leather sofas are a big pit. The use of this kind of sofa may be inferior leather, not only prone to cracks, fading and other problems, but also poor air permeability, sitting for a long time will feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

For example, some businesses will use two layers of leather or even artificial leather to pretend to be the first layer of leather, consumers may be difficult to distinguish in the early days of purchase, but after a period of use, the sofa surface will appear obvious wear and deformation. In addition, low-quality leather sofas also need to spend a lot of energy and cost in maintenance, if accidentally stained, it is very troublesome to deal with.

Functional complex but not practical multi-functional sofa

In order to meet the diversified needs of consumers, a variety of multi-functional sofas have appeared on the market, such as styles with massage, heating, stretching and other functions. However, these seemingly cool features are often not practical in actual use.

Taking massage function as an example, the massage effect of many multi-functional sofas is not ideal, and the accuracy of strength and acupoints can not be compared with professional massage chairs. Moreover, these additional features may also increase the failure rate and maintenance costs of the sofa. For another example, some sofas with stretching functions, although they can be used to let people lie down and rest, but due to the complex structure, they are often prone to stalling or damage.

Too soft unsupported sofa

Many people think that the softer the sofa, the more comfortable it is, but this is not the case. Too soft sofa lacks enough support, sitting on it for a long time will lead to spinal deformation, causing back pain and other problems. For example, the kind of sofa that sits down and falls deep into it may feel very relaxed at first, but after sitting for a long time, you will find that the body is not effectively supported, but more tired. Moreover, the service life of this sofa is also relatively short, and it is prone to deformation and collapse.

Sofa that is too large or too small

Sofa size selection is also a science. If the living room space is small, but choose a sofa that is too large, it will make the whole space appear crowded and inconvenient. On the contrary, if the living room area is large, and the sofa size is too small, it will appear uncoordinated and lack momentum.

Sofa that is difficult to clean and maintain

Although the design of some sofas is unique and beautiful, it brings great difficulties to cleaning and maintenance. For example, some fabric sofas with complex patterns and gaps, dust and debris are easy to hide inside, and cleaning is time-consuming and laborious.

To sum up, when buying a sofa, we must keep our eyes open and avoid being confused by those sofas that seem attractive but are actually IQ taxes. It is necessary to consider the material, function, size, comfort and convenience of cleaning and maintenance of the sofa, and choose a sofa that truly suits the needs of your family. Only in this way can we make our living room both beautiful and comfortable, and add more warmth and comfort to our life.
