When buying a sofa, you should start by listing the benefits of your old seating unit. This will help to clearly see what features the new piece of furniture definitely cannot lack. Did we really like the fact that the sofa had a sleeping function, so it was a seat for us during the day and turned into a comfortable bed in the evening? In that case, it is worth buying a convertible model, too. Then we should consider what we would like to change. Is a four-seater sofa occupying a large part of the living room, while only few people use it? A three-seater or smaller sofa would be a much better solution! Writing down the pros and cons of your old piece of furniture will make it easier to choose a new one.

How many seats should the sofa have?

The size of the sofa depends on how many people will use it. It is worth bearing in mind both everyday use and special occasions, when our relatives come to visit. A three-seater sofa, a four-seater sofa and a corner sofa - these models will work well if you have a large family or your friends visit you often. And if this is still not enough, the best solution is to arrange two pieces of furniture in such a way that they face each other. This encourages conversation! However, when we know that the piece of furniture is to seat only a few people, a two-seater will be a great choice. In addition, it is a small seating unit compared to the previously mentioned models, so it is easy to fit it into rooms such as a study, hallway, or bedroom, where a smaller piece of furniture is usually more desirable.

How much space a sofa can take?

The Micadoni sofa buying guide is meant to help you choose the perfect sofa. Preferably, before you buy, you should determine how much space in your interiors you can spare for the seating unit. A good method, also used by interior designers, is to draw the outline of the furniture on the floor. This helps you figure out if the size is right, whether it will not overwhelm the arrangement or whether you can decide on a larger model. After such a test, it is easier to settle on a specific type of sofa, because it is much quicker to estimate, whether e.g. a corner sofa, whose one section is much protruding towards the front, is right for the interior.

Is the sofa to be used only for sitting or also for sleeping?

Anyone planning to purchase a sofa should answer the question: is the sofa to be used only as a seat, or also as a place to sleep? A convertible model will be perfect for those who want to use this piece of furniture as a bed alternative on a daily basis. It is a good choice for studios and small interiors. Certainly, it will also work well in any other flat where guests often stay overnight, regardless of its square meterage. On the other hand, a convertible model is a type of sofa that will come in handy in houses with a separate guest bedroom. It is worth noting that every Micadoni sofa comes with information on whether or not it has a sleeping function, so you can easily distinguish between them. Whether it's a two-seater sofa, a three-seater sofa, or a corner sofa, you can find a model available in each option in our range.

Our sofa buying guide coudn't not omit this topic! The type of sofa will be easier to select when you think about how much you will use your sofa. Are there small children in the house?
