                     Sofas & Couches - Common Misconceptions about Sofas & Couches  
There are many different kinds of sofas & couches. Some people refer to these pieces 
of furniture by many different names, such as a settee, sofa set, chesterfield, and 
loveseat. Whatever the name, these pieces of furniture are all cushioned and feature 
armrests, springs, and tailored cushions. Here are a few common types of couches. 
Read on to find out more about them. Here are some basic terms to know before 
buying one. 
First, consider the material of the couch's upholstery. While many sofas are made 
from hardwood, synthetic upholstery is also available. Leather, for example, is more 
durable and stain resistant, but requires more maintenance. Synthetic materials, 
however, tend to fade and show stains more easily. They are also easier to clean than 
their leather counterparts. But you must consider what  kind of material you'd prefer 
for your home. Not all materials are the same.  
Some retailers sell a variety of styles, while others specialize in one design style. 
Midcentury modern retailers, for example, offer a wide range of carefully curated 
options. But if you're overwhelmed by the number of options, try to limit your search 
to a few retailers that sell the style you're interested in. That way, you won't be 
surprised with a resale value of your new couch.  
Another common misconception about couches and sofas is their different size. 
Couches can seat two people, but they're usually narrower and more upright than a 
sofa. They're also known as "couch potatoes" and are found more frequently in family 
rooms and living rooms. As for size, some industry profess ionals say a sofa seats 
three people comfortably, while others believe that a couch can seat two to three 
people. This has caused some interior designers to disagree and recommend that a 
couch be smaller than a sofa.  
A couch's depth is best measured from the side. The backside of a sofa's back is the 
highest part. This may be the armrests, but it could also be the seat if it slants 
outwards. In addition to these dimensions, the sofa's seating height is an important 
consideration if you plan to turn it sideways. Measure the length between the bottom 
back corner and the top front edge.  
A couch or a sofa is usually the center piece of a room. People often look at a sofa to 
determine what style they're looking for in a room. They also want to find a 
comfortable place to sit. So it's important to choose the right kind of couch for your 
home. You can choose a sofa, a sectional, or both depending on your personal taste 
and the room size. Once you've decided what type of sofa you want, start shopping! 
You'll find a sofa that fits into your space.  
A modular couch is another option. These pieces can be assembled to create a variety 
of different arrangements. This type of couch is a good choice for families or people 
who frequently move around. You can simply buy additio nal sections to make the 
furniture more versatile and comfortable. There are many different styles of modular 
sofas out there, so you're bound to find one that matches your home. You can also 
buy new pieces of sofa parts as your family grows.
