Sofas

Sofas for sharing the living room without sacrificing space

The sofa is where you watch a film, read or spend time with others. It’s also one of the pieces of furniture that takes up the most space in the living room. At Sofertón, you can compare sofas of different sizes and designs, but to choose the right one, it’s best to start by considering three factors: how much space you have, how many people will be using it and what you want to do on it.

Measure the available wall space, the clearance around the furniture and the distance from the front door. Then mark out the width and depth of the model you’re interested in on the floor. This will help you assess whether it will fit in the room before you decide on its colour or style. If you’d prefer a space where you can stretch your legs, also compare thechaise longue, which are deeper on one side.What sort of sofa do you need?

A straight sofa It groups the seats together along a single wall, leaving you more freedom to position the table or move around the living room. In the catalogue, you’ll find models such as130, Alcázar, Alma or Channel. To compare two options, check the overall width, seat depth and backrest height of each variant. The designation ‘two-seater’ or ‘three-seater’ gives an indication of their intended use, but does not correspond to a fixed measurement.

A sofa bed It can solve the problem of accommodating guests without having to set aside a room exclusively for that purpose. Sofertón classifies the following models as sofa beds:Dixon, Green and Río. If you’re considering one of these, check how it opens, how big it is when folded away, and how much space it takes up when unfolded. It’s also a good idea to make sure you can access the bed without having to move other pieces of furniture every time.

A larger sofa It makes sense when several people are seated at the same time and there is enough space to move around them. If the room is narrow, consider a more compact layout alongside the option of adding asillón freestanding. This layout can offer you another way of arranging the seats without taking up an entire wall.How to choose style, upholstery and comfort

The sofa influences the look of the living room: sleek lines create a more open feel, whilst bolder armrests or a more substantial backrest give the piece a stronger presence. First, choose the proportions that work best in your room, and then compare the finishes available for that model.

To assess how it will be used on a day-to-day basis, check the seat depth, the height of the backrest and the armrests. Check the product details for the upholstery options and colours available for that specific model, as well as the fabric composition and care instructions where provided. A product image may show a finish or dimensions that differ from those you have selected.

Before you buy, also check the doors, the lift and the bends in the staircase. If access is tight, check the dimensions of the parcels and the delivery terms applicable to your order. Carry out a final check on thechosen variant: dimensions, upholstery, features, availability and price.Frequently asked questions
