For many households, their living room furniture can be the pieces in their home that get the most use. For those who spend a lot of time in their living rooms, they will often use their sofa for much of the day. Some people like to lie on their sofa while they completely relax. When you consider how much regular use your sofa can get, you will understand why it's so important to get a quality sofa that's comfortable. Also, regular use of the sofa means it needs to be easy to clean and that it will wear well. Here are some of the things that you want to watch for when you are going out sofa shopping: 

You want the sofa to be comfortable for everyone

You are going to want to make sure everyone in the household will be comfortable on the sofa. If you have household members who are all the same size, then it will be easy to determine what size of sofa to get when it comes to the height and the depth. However, if there are household members of all heights, then you are going to want to compromise. In this case, you'll want a sofa that's a little taller than normal, but not too tall. Also, if you have some household members that weigh quite a bit more than others, then you want a sofa that has a bit more depth. You can simply add some extra sofa cushions that other household members can use to sit comfortably. 

You want a sofa that has enough seating room

When looking at sofas, consider the number of people you generally have sitting in the living room and make sure they are all going to be accommodated, whether that is going to be with a combination of your new sofa and chairs, or whether you get a sectional that will provide everyone with proper seating. 

You want a sofa with features that accommodate everyone

Think about the setup of your living room and some of the features a sofa should have to accommodate it. For example, if you don't plan on having end tables, then you may want a sofa with cup holders. If you aren't going to have a coffee table, then you might want a sofa with a pull-down table. Sectional sofas commonly have these features, but other sofas can have them as well.
