A modular sofa for the living room offers flexibility, but not every model will automatically suit your home. A sofa may look spacious in photos yet turn out to be too deep in reality. Soft materials can also show signs of use sooner than expected. Carrying out the right checks beforehand can help you avoid an unsuitable purchase.
The total width does not tell you everything. Also check the seat depth, seat height and armrest height. A sofa measuring 204 cm wide may be suitable for two people, but a deep seat can take up a lot of space in a small living room.
Also measure doorways, stairwells, lifts and narrow hallways. Compressed sofas come in smaller packaging, but regain their full dimensions after unpacking.
A frameless sofa or lounge sofa often feels flexible and yielding. That does not automatically mean the seat provides enough support. Look at the type of filling, the density of the foam and the construction.
For example, a seat made with 32D foam has a stated foam density of 32 kg/m³. This is a verifiable specification, but it does not determine how comfortable everyone will find the sofa. The shape of the seat, back cushions and personal preference also play a part.
Chenille, corduroy and plush fabrics feel pleasant, but require regular care. Check whether the upholstery is removable, which cleaning method is recommended and whether the material is described as suitable for everyday use.
Many sofas are vacuum-packed. Creases and a compressed shape are therefore normal. Some models need 24 to 72 hours to regain their original shape. For this reason, do not plan an evening with guests immediately after delivery.
Use masking tape on the floor to mark out the intended dimensions. This lets you see how much walking space will remain. For a sofa for a small living room, compact dimensions and a low, open shape are often more practical than a large corner sofa.
Pay attention to these points:
Compare the materials listed in the product information. A sofa with one moulded foam block offers a different seating experience from a model with pocket springs and loose cushions. A stated weight capacity is useful as a reference, but do not assume that the load is automatically distributed equally across all modules.
Also check whether there is a frame. A frameless sofa can have a soft, informal appearance. If you prefer a firmer seating feel, look for high foam density, pocket springs or a clearly supportive base.
A soft chenille sofa works well in modern, warm interiors. In homes with children or pets, a hard-wearing surface texture, a stable underside and easy care are practical features. Claims such as “scratch-resistant”, “stain-resistant” or “colourfast” come from the product description. According to the brand’s own research, such properties may apply under certain conditions; they are not a guarantee for every home or type of use.
Vacuum the sofa regularly using a suitable upholstery attachment and treat stains according to the washing or care label. Do not use harsh cleaning products without checking the instructions first.

We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Measure the entire clear floor area, including walkways and space for doors. Also check the packaging and access to your home. Mark out the sofa on the floor with tape and allow for the chaise longue or separate modules.
Its lifespan depends on use, construction, foam, upholstery and maintenance. A specific lifespan cannot be guaranteed based on the product description alone. Regular vacuuming, treating stains promptly and distributing use evenly can help keep the sofa looking its best.
It can be, but the seating feel differs from that of a sofa with a wooden or metal frame. Check the foam density, dimensions, weight capacity and underside. If you plan to sit for long periods every day, it is best to focus on the combination of seat, back support and care instructions, rather than just the soft appearance.
