Frames, cushions, fabrics, fillers, and bills must be balanced

In the store, the sofa has various materials, styles and patterns, and the colors are colorful. The price ranges from a few thousand yuan to several tens of thousands. Some imported sofas cost as high as hundreds of thousands and millions. The difference in appearance of these sofas is not Big. All kinds of situations make consumers feel puzzled and don't know how to choose a suitable quality sofa. I know that choosing a sofa can't just look at the fabric and elasticity. The skeleton, filler, detail design and after-sales service of the sofa are important reference factors.

Many consumers think that the price of leather sofas is higher than that of fabric sofas. However, Yang Zhenhua, executive deputy general manager of Cassadine, told reporters that there are many kinds of leather sofas, and the grades are different. The price is not necessarily higher than the fabric sofa.

The reporter visited the market and learned that at present, from the area of leather use, there are all-skin sofas and half-skin sofas; from the materials used, there are top layer skins, two-layer skins, etc.; In terms of, there are thick skin, medium thick skin, ordinary skin and so on. In general, leather sofas made of thick or medium-thick leather are generally more expensive than fabric sofas. However, most of the leather sofas on the market are not full-thick leather sofas in the strict sense. Therefore, the market price of general leather sofas is similar to that of high-end fabric sofas, and even some brands of fabric sofas are more expensive.

At present, most of the so-called leather sofas on the market are not full leather. Usually, the contact with the human body is real leather, and the rest is the ingredient leather, but the color is very close to the leather. Therefore, from the price point of view, if the entire sofa is composed of cortex, the leather is soft and the air permeability is good, the price is higher.

■ Selection steps

The first step: the frame skeleton should be strong

Look at the frame, the two hands will repeatedly shake the sofa back and forth, if there is no obvious abnormal sound, it means the sofa frame is relatively firm. Secondly, it is necessary to open the bottom bottom zipper to view the frame material to see if it is hardwood logs, whether it is planed, whether there is any damage and insects.

Tip: Many consumers think that the heavier the furniture, the better. In fact, the furniture with the same material should be as heavy as possible. Some furniture fills the back of the sofa or the side of the armrest with corners and even bark material. The weight is not light, but it will break after a long time.

Step 2: The cushion is resilient

It is best to test the resilience of the sofa so that the body can sit on the sofa in a free-falling manner. The body is bounced at least twice by the sofa cushion to ensure that the sofa is elastic and does not have the abnormal sound of the spring.

At the same time, if the handrail and the backrest of the sofa are pressed by hand, if the presence of the wooden frame is clearly felt, the filling density of the sofa is not high and the elasticity is not good enough. The sofa frame that is easily felt can accelerate the wear of the sofa cover and reduce the life of the sofa.

Tip: There are two types of seat cushions for the sofa, one is a spring bag and the other is a full sponge. The reporter learned from the market that some of the lower-end sofas also use snake-shaped vertical springs and foam rubber and doll sponges. These cushions are not durable and basically only have a life of 3 to 5 years.

The third step: the fabric is thick and wear-resistant

The sofa fabric should be relatively thick, and the weight is more than 300 g/m2. It must be more durable, and it must be ensured that the surface is not more than 12,000 times.

Touch the surface of the sofa with your hand to see if it is irritating to the skin, and observe whether the fabric of the sofa is uniform in color, whether the seam is firm and flat, and whether the workmanship is fine. Open the zipper of the matching pillow, observe and touch the lining and filler inside.

Tip: High-grade fabric sofas generally have cotton linings, and other stain-prone parts should be washable. Some high-grade fabrics have improved anti-fouling ability, special treatment on the surface, and anti-static, flame-retardant and other functions.

Step 4: Open the seat cushion zipper and check the smell

Look at the cushion padding. The high-grade sofa cushion uses a high-elastic foam sponge with a density of 30 kg/m3 or more. The back cushion should use a high-elastic foam sponge with a density of 25 kg/m3 or more. In order to improve sitting comfort, some foams are softened without ensuring density reduction. There is also a sofa that is filled with a mix of down and sponge for a more comfortable sitting.

Tip: Choose a down-filled sofa, pull the zipper on the seat cushion and smell the odor.

Step 5: The bill information must be complete

The name, specification, quantity, price, amount and material of the sofa must be indicated on the invoice and contract (if it is a leather sofa, it should be indicated whether it is full leather). Know the manufacturer's name, address, contact person, phone number, in order to find out the quality problem can be contacted and resolved in time.
