If you are looking for a new and smart sofa, also preferably one with room for several people at once, then you may need to consider a u-sofa.

The sofa often plays a crucial role in many homes, because this is where we relax, and typically where the family gathers after a long day.

That's exactly why it's a really good idea to spend time and effort thinking through both your and your family's needs so you do not end up getting the wrong sofa.

What is a U-sofa?

You probably already know what a corner sofa is, but what about the now very popular u-sofa?

The U-sofa is the ultimate and most inviting cozy sofa there is, and it is made with many seats, so you can sit many in it at the same time.

A u-sofa, of course, has the shape of a “u”, where in the middle there is a large seat, with two lengths at both ends.

Material selection is important when buying a new sofa

When you need to buy a new u-sofa, in addition to the right design and size of the new sofa, it is also important that you find the right material for the new sofa.

For many, the choice of material is most often based on what is most practical, but in fact it does not have to be that way at all.

The first thing you need to decide is whether you want a fabric or leather sofa. Next, consider what the new sofa should be used for and whether there are children or pets in the home.

There are many types of both leather and fabric that can be easily used, even if there are children and animals in the home.

Purchase of u-sofa in the right size

If you are considering buying a u-sofa , then size is very important. Often, the space in which your new sofa should stand can help dictate how big the sofa should be. If you have a small living room, it goes without saying that you should choose a small sofa. If, on the other hand, you have a large living room, there is nothing in the way of finding a large u-sofa.

With a u-sofa, it is even possible to use it as a room divider, thus creating several rooms in the same room.

If you are in doubt about where the new u-sofa should stand in your large living room, then you can use a very simple trick.

Namely by using masking tape that you stick to the floor. That way, you can more easily see what the new sofa will look like in the living room, and therefore have an easier time making the final choice.

A little about durability and small children

If you have children, perhaps also pets, then in the choice of sofa, you must also choose a sofa which is made of a durable material.

As the sofa often becomes a central focal point in the home, this of course also applies to your children, and here it is important to find a sofa with a high wear resistance.

Young children often play on the sofa and do not sit down on the sofa for a long time at a time.

It can also happen that they spill in the sofa, and then it is nice to have a sofa that is easy to clean.

An abrasion resistance is measured in Martindale, where in private homes a minimum of between 15,000-25,000 Martindale is recommended, so that the sofa can withstand a normal wear and tear.
