Selection Tips
When choosing a sofa, you must first decide for what purposes it is needed... In the nursery, you need a small or possibly a double version. It will most likely be used as a bed on a daily basis. And therefore, it is desirable that the seat is made of spring blocks or an orthopedic mattress. A more spacious corner version with a box for linen can be placed in the living room.
If it will also be often used as a sleeping place, then it is better to choose a higher-quality mechanism and structural details, preferably a metal frame, as well as a denser upholstery material. Eco-leather upholstery is well suited for sofas located in the kitchen.
