For most people, the choice is limited to the appearance of this element. But in fact, to choose a sofa for two is not so simple.

If we turn to history, then double sofas became widespread in the XVII century, not just as an interior decoration, but also as furniture for relaxation. In the modern world one can hardly be surprised by the presence of a sofa in an apartment or house.

Today there are a huge number of different models of sofas.Manufacturers of this piece of furniture continue to amaze consumers by inventing unusual mechanisms to make the rest even more pleasant. For example, there are sofa beds, sofas with footrests and other varieties. Each model is good in its own way: one is designed for small premises, the other is the best way to complement the interior of a home cinema. In addition, a 2-seater sofa can be easily placed in an apartment or cottage. It is not necessary to put it in the living room or bedroom. This furniture is perfect for placement in the hallway: guests will be comfortable to sit on it to take off their shoes.

In addition to construction and design, manufacturers pay great attention to materials for the product - from filler to upholstery. Upholstery can be absolutely anything: fabric, leather and so on. Due to the large variety of colors to choose the furniture for your interior is not difficult.

Each person has their own idea of ​​the ideal setting.But the fact that an ideal interior should be not only beautiful, but also comfortable and functional should be common for everyone. To create such a masterpiece, you need to take into account a number of parameters: design, occupied space and cost. When buying a sofa is especially important to consider these points. Wrong choice can lead to the fact that instead of resting you will experience constant discomfort and stress.

The main feature of double sofas can be called their originality. It manifests itself in everything: in design, in design, in upholstery material. In the shops you can find models for every taste: leather, without armrests, legs, etc.

The undoubted advantages over conventional sofas will be:

• Compact size - no longer need to look for how and where to place this furniture. You definitely do not have to do a global permutation. Small soft double sofas can be placed anywhere in the room: near the walls or in the center of the room without causing feelings of space overload.
• Large range of styles - unlike large pieces of furniture, small sofas, made in a certain style, are able to create a cozy atmosphere that will have to relax and socialize.
• Cost Since the production of a small piece of furniture takes fewer materials, the price for such a product will be much lower, and the functionality does not change at all.
• Versatility. Double sofa can be placed not only in the living room, but also in the kitchen, in the hallway, in the country on the veranda.

Among the shortcomings are the following parameters:

• Lack of drawers for storing bedding. While almost all ordinary sofas are equipped with similar seats, in the double simply can not do something like that.
• Not all models are designed to sleep.

Small sofas amaze with a variety of colors. Each person can find exactly the color that he needs. It all depends on the place where the furniture will be located, or rather, on the interior of the entire room.

In a modern living room it will look great white or black straight sofa. These colors will not be very noticeable and stand out from the general style of the room.

If you are looking for a sofa for the nursery, then you should pay attention to the model of bright colors. For this room a good solution would be a green, orange or blue sofa.

In addition, the color of the product should pay special attention if the furniture is purchased for the garden. This sofa should be made of materials that are easy to clean from dust and dirt. And in order not to leave marks on it, preference should be given to dark colors.

The durability of this piece of furniture in many respects depends on upholstery material. Sometimes the cost of upholstery is a significant part of the value of the entire product. Much depends on its quality: comfort, product life, environmental friendliness. Consider the most common materials that are used when creating double masterpieces.

• Leather. This is the most common and most practical material. Leather sofa will rightfully occupy the most prominent place in the interior.This material is very easy to care for - just wipe it with a soft cloth moistened with a special tool. Genuine leather is not cheap, so the cost of the sofa will be quite high.
• Leatherette This is a more budget option. When buying products with upholstered leatherette should be convinced of the quality of the material. After all, the lifetime of the entire product depends on it.

• Teflon coating. Teflon impregnation creates a protective barrier that reliably protects the product from dust, moisture and dirt and increases durability. But models with a similar coating have a very high price, so you can opt for sofas with teflon coating.
• Chenille This is the best fabric used for upholstery. It is soft to the touch, warm and very practical. These qualities allow you to compare this upholstery with leather in popularity and functionality.

• Tapestry. Very practical material. This is possible thanks to polyester, which is part of it. In the creation of this fabric are used more than a dozen different threads, so this material is patterned, bright and beautiful.
• Flock. This is the most common fabric material that is used as upholstery. This feature is the presence of a nap. On the one hand, this makes the material softer, and on the other, less wear-resistant, since the pile tends to rub off over time. In addition, the flock can electrify.

• Jacquard. In many ways similar to the tapestry in its properties. This is a very patterned and beautiful fabric that will add luxury to the interior.
• Microfiber. This material is very durable and has excellent wear resistance. Fabric monophonic, does not fade and does not fade when exposed to sunlight.
• Upholstery rattan. Perhaps you have already seen wicker furniture more than once, so, this is exactly rattan. It is a lightweight material, durable and wear-resistant, well resistant to temperature changes. But you should avoid mechanical effects, as they can spoil the appearance of the product.

If you decide to buy furniture in the store, ask the sellers to show you the product passport.It should contain all the basic parameters of the product, including the upholstery material.

Twin sofa is compact in size. It can be placed even in the smallest room, for example, on a balcony or in the reception room in an office, thereby creating the right environment.

A classic small sofa has a length of 170 cm, and its width is from 80 cm to 100 cm. The length of a children's sofa is usually no more than 150 cm. Folding sofas have a certain width, but their length when unfolded can reach 200 cm.

To choose the right furniture for yourself and be completely satisfied with the purchase, you should consider a lot of nuances.

• Appearance. First you need to choose a place where the new piece of furniture will be located. Sofas can be angular, straight or insular.
• Design. The sofa can be solid or modular. If nothing can be done with the whole, then with modular it is possible. The consumer himself sets the basic parameters of the product.

• Purpose Sofa for constant sleep should be moderately soft and always folding. The sofa for children should be safe and with durable upholstery, as children will play on it.If you select a sofa in the reception room for visitors, then the most important parameter will be the reliability of the frame, so that the product will last for quite a long time.

• Upholstery. What will be covered with a sofa, it's up to you, maybe, it will be leather, or maybe you like fabric models. Wicker sofa will add comfort to the living room. The best option would be tight-fitting leatherette. If the colors do not suit you or have lost their original color, then a cape will come to the rescue. You can buy several of them and change the type of furniture according to your mood.
• Extra options. It is also worth considering what design furniture you want: on the legs, with armrests, with pillows and so on. All these factors can directly affect the price.
• Cost This is an important factor, which very often plays a decisive role. Decide what basic parameters your dream furniture should have and how much you are willing to spend on it. The store model can be inexpensive, but a designer sofa will cost you a pretty penny.

Having decided on the basic parameters, do not rush to run to the store and buy a model that seems to be fully in line with your expectations. There are some nuances that can be overlooked.Therefore, you should listen to the experts and turn your attention to some more points.

Experts advise to carefully check the quality of the upholstery. The seams should be neat, strong and made of thick threads. Thin threads will quickly be erased or torn and the product will lose its beautiful look. If the seam is crooked, it is better to refuse to purchase, as this indicates a low level of product quality control.

Another parameter that is not immediately visible is filler. Be sure to check this point with the seller and ask to show the supporting document. If the filler is made of foam, then you can be sure that the seat of the sofa will very quickly squeeze, and it will be impossible to restore it. It is best to purchase furniture with polyurethane foam filler or springs. Such a product will last long enough.

The frame of the sofa can be seen in most cases, but there are models in which this possibility is not provided. The frame of the product can be made of chipboard (the most unreliable material) or plywood. There are also sofas on the metal frame, they are the most reliable and durable of all.

Upholstery. Here, experts recommend to proceed from their preferences, but do not forget to check the thickness of the material. If the upholstery is not thick enough, it will wipe out very quickly, will not keep its original shape and holes may appear on it.

Mechanism. This factor is taken into account when it comes to transforming sofas. Masters recommend to pay attention to the material mechanisms - they should all be made of metal, plastic and wood are not allowed. The quality of the painting mechanism can also say a lot. All items should be well painted, otherwise you can purchase a product of poor quality production.

You should not buy a sofa on unverified websites, since there can be one model in the photo, but in fact you will get a completely different one. In addition, you will not be able to check the quality of the product before purchase and there is a high risk of purchasing a low-quality sofa that will quickly become unusable.

For the purchase it is better to go to a furniture store, where consultants will tell you the main characteristics of the product and you will be able to check the reliability of the design and materials yourself, guided by the above points.But in the store there is a risk to purchase low-quality goods. Note that the cost of a double sofa consists of all its parameters. You may well be offered a model with a huge discount, which is currently out of stock, as it is brought only under the order. This may be a seller’s trick to sell you a defective or low-quality product. Do not fall for dubious promotions, better pay a little more, but buy quality furniture.

Choosing a double sofa, you can safely give free rein to the imagination. After all, on what model you get, your comfort and cosiness depend. The right sofa will be your favorite place to relax.
