Comments (1)Houzz has articles on most subects. [HERE[(https://www.houzz.com/magazine/how-to-choose-a-well-constructed-sofa-stsetivw-vs~81847558) is one on quality sofa construction, but the info applies to chairs as well. Sofa design can impact quality by impacting comfort. What's the point of a well-built sofa if it's not comfortable to sit in. [HERE[(https://www.houzz.com/magazine/sofa-secrets-how-to-choose-the-right-sofa-back-stsetivw-vs~74354788) and [HERE[(https://www.houzz.com/magazine/sofa-secrets-how-to-choose-the-right-seat-depth-and-cushions-stsetivw-vs~76263363) are articles on that. Sofa comfort is subjective. A short person will be more comfortable on shorter seating while a tall person will feel cramped. Throw pillows are intended to support short people in an upright posture. Keep in mind that as we grow older too low-to-the-floor seating puts stress on the hip joints when one attempts to get up.

Comments (8)Stay away from memory foam, find a sofa with legs in the center and on the ends to support the frame, avoid the thinner upholstery stretchy fabrics, avoid SOLIDS(especially light color solid fabrics), if your shoulders are not at rest when you sit on it, you will not enjoy it for longer than short periods of time, look for the specials from name brand higher end lines, not the mass showroom pieces....they all sit like a worn out bed pillow. If the back is softer to push in than the seat, run away...don't buy things with lots of buttons or lots of thumptacks for trim...they won't last 5 years in your price range. Find a fabric that has lots of variety of hues in it because it will go with your changing drapes and tastes over time, especially the most common hues in furnishings, not the eclectic....and the classic designs...not the wierd? LOL ....good luck ! Typically there are fine sofas in large homes with several sitting areas, that were lightly used for moving sales or estate sales. You might watch for those if you have the time....See MoreRelated Professionals
