Tips For Buying The Perfect Lounge Suite

A good quality lounge suite from a reputable supplier can last for many long years. More advanced sofa pieces can be enjoyed for over 10 years. Since you will be looking at and sitting on the same sofa set for many more years, it is best to think carefully about what to get. 

At Budget Beds, we want you to be fully satisfied with your purchase. That is exactly why we are now sharing some practical tips that can help you find the right sofa set.

First, Let’s Consider a Function

Yes, sofas are all made to be sat on. But they are hardly just for the family room. Adding a sofa suite to other rooms, like a bedroom, entryway, or other spaces, can completely transform the feel of these spaces. Sofas can also be very handy furniture pieces to have in busy office spaces with waiting areas.

Some choose to add a sofa to a space for the sole purpose of aesthetics. For others, this furniture piece has a more practical purpose. It is best to keep the main function of the sofa in mind because function always dictates the qualities you are looking for.

In professional settings like businesses or deluxe households where the sofa is an accessory, it makes sense to choose something a bit more eye-catching – even if that means sacrificing some comfort. In homes, your sofa will need to be very comfortable, durable, and practical since it will be used so often.

Consider Your Available Space

You shouldn’t pick the biggest couch suite you can find. Living rooms can become too cluttered and awkward if they are packed with oversized lounge suite pieces. Choose something with enough space to keep you comfortable, but that doesn’t take up all of the open space in the room. 

Corner pieces or L-shaped couches are usually the preferred option if your family room is on the smaller side or if you have a lot of people who might need to be seated.  For bigger spaces, a blend of individual and multi-seaters can be a good option since this will be more accommodating when visitors come over. 

Upholstery is So Important

Lounges often come in two main material types: fabric upholstery and bonded leather. These two materials have a pretty significant impact on the appearance and practicality of the sofa suite. Bonded leather can be a bit icy on the skin in winters, but it is very easy to wipe down if it becomes messy. Fabric upholstery is more complex to keep clean but offers a cosy and comfortable feel.

With a good lounge seat supplier, you will also be able to choose between different fabric types and colours. Lighter fabric tones always tend to make spaces look brighter and bigger. Darker tones, on the other hand, tend to be better for families since marks and stains won’t be as apparent.

Build and Frame

If you want a lounge suite that is going to stand the test of time, then choose something with a strong frame. The interior frame of the piece should be made of solid wood. In most cases, durable and strong sofas tend to be heavier. Anything you can easily move with just one hand should be avoided.
