The word "sofa" belongs to Arabic world, which means clerical office. Arab chancellery's walls had been attached with small cushion benches. Sofas came from Ottoman Empire to European culture in only c. XIII.
How to select a sofa?
First, let us find out why we need a sofa:
It is a trivial question and answers to this can vary a lot. Some one wants to sit and some may have to sleep on that.
In the finest houses of Paris, it was customary to sit on chair, lie on a couch and sleep on a bed.
But we do every thing on sofa. So it is necessary to select sofa with utmost care and consider factors such as reliability, comfort and style. We need to select a sofa in such way so as not to regret about that bloody spring which disturbed your last night in a very intimate private event of your important negotiations.
Sofa should perfectly set in general design of your home. Sofas and grand round chairs with wooden arm pads or decorative laps would fit with classical interior with wall cabinets, cabinets and book shelves. For modern interior decoration appropriate are articles of easygoing, elegant design without any additional ornaments.
Even before going to shop, one should sort out with space constraints of the room where sofa is to stand. It is important to decide with the location of sleeping places on the sofa-parallel or perpendicular to the wall. For instance, sofa with “euro-folding” or “click-clack” mechanism, one has to sleep along the wall, and in models like “accordion”, camp-cot or draw-out bed one has to sleep vertical to the wall. If a very simple and user-friendly cushion sofa is needed, one needs to stick to “euro-folding” or “click-clack” mechanism.
Not least important point for everybody: how much wall is protected from dirt when it is any how touched while we are asleep? In some several models like “euro-folding”, there are special welts meant for precautionary measures. For the same reasons bed-heads exist, which protect wall from dirt and also support pillows.
How long does a will a sofa serve as sleeping place depends upon the conversion mechanism. |
