Keep reading to learn how to choose the perfect sofa or loveseat with Mega Furniture TX!

Consider your lifestyle needs

Before looking further into different sofa styles and options, take a moment to determine what things you may require from a sofa in your day-to-day-life. Big families may require sectionals to fit all of your family members, whereas the presence of pets or young kids may make a stain-resistant upholstery tempting. If relaxation is top of mind, a motion sofa style that reclines can add to your zen. 

Measure space requirements

You don’t want to accidentally miscalculate how much or how little space you have for your new sofa, so take measurements carefully and double check them multiple times. Make sure to measure the length, height, and width of the area. It’s also useful to get measurements of the heights of doorways and hallways so you know for sure that the sofa you want will actually fit through the front door and can be maneuvered through the home to your living room! 

Set and stick to a budget

Determining your price range can help you research a wide variety of brands and options to find the perfect piece at the right price. Also keep an eye on promos and flash sales, which can help you find a higher end piece at a more affordable price.

Look for a quality frame

The frame can determine just how many years of lounging you’ll be able to enjoy on your new loveseat or sofa. A solid hardwood frame is always a good option, but be wary of frames made of particleboard or metal.

Color considerations

Color is a huge part of your decision, and there are many different directions you can take this. A bright statement, detailed pattern, or a reliable neutral color may be wide depending on your existing living room furniture and décor style. There’s no right or wrong palette as long as you know you’ll love it in the years to come. 

Sofa styles

Once you know more about your needs and preferences, you can select a sofa style that balances practical with aesthetic. There are a few basic sofa styles out there that you will likely browse: 

• Mid-Century Modern: This is the standard sofa we usually think about with clean lines, rectangular shape, tapered legs, and a tufted back. 
• Lawson: A more tailored sofa that features rolled or square arms that are roughly halfway down from the back cushions.
• English Roll Arm: Tucked arms, bare legs, and soft curves are trademarks of this style.
• Chaise: A mix of an accent chair and a loveseat. It’s long enough to lie on and comes with a short backrest and singular arm.
• Tuxedo: Boxy in shape, the arms are an extension of the backrest and the sofa has one large cushioned seat with no back cushions. 
• Camelback: This traditional sofa features a curved back somewhat resembling the slope of a camel’s hump. They typically have bare legs, rolled arms, and no cushions. 

Sofa fabrics

Fabric can determine durability and longevity, so it’s important to choose wisely. Here are some common options to consider:

• Performance: Designed to prevent stains and are typically water and oil resistant. Perfect for young kids, pets, and frequent spillers!
• Wood blend: Highly durable and great for hiding stains but can be difficult to care for.
• Linen: Requires professional cleaning but is beautiful to look at. It’s also prone to wrinkles and doesn’t wear well. 
• Leather: Durable and easy to clean, so can be another solid option for families and pets.

Testing the comfort

If you’ve shopping in person, testing out the floor model can be a good measure of how comfortable the sofa is in reality. It’ll also give you a more accurate sense of what the piece can feel like and look like in your own space.
