A couch must be one thing above all: comfortable. But what exactly does that mean? Comfort is subjective, but there are some factors to look for when choosing a new sofa.

The height of the backrest is crucial for your comfort. A backrest that is too low can quickly lead to back pain. Make sure the backrest is sufficiently soft and padded to ensure a comfortable sitting experience.

The density of the upholstery also plays an important role. The higher the density, the firmer the sofa. The optimal density depends on the personal preferences, but an average of 35 kg/m3 is recommended. Which sofa is finally the most comfortable, you can only find out by trying it out in the store, for example, in a Livom showroom. There you have the advantage of being able to try out the furniture directly and test its quality and hardness.

Sustainability

When it comes to sofa trends 2023, the topic sustainability must not be missing. More and more people are attaching importance to their furnishings being environmentally friendly and sustainable. This also applies to the sofa. There are now many manufacturers who rely on sustainable materials and produce their sofas in an environmentally friendly way. Second-hand furniture is also in vogue and offers a sustainable alternative to buying new. If you also value sustainability, you should make sure when buying a sofa that it is made of environmentally friendly materials and produced under fair conditions. This way you can not only beautify your home, but also contribute to environmental protection.
