How to Choose a Sofa You'll Love For Years

Buying a sofa in an investment, therefore choosing one you’ll love for years to come is crucial. At Habbio, we know a thing or two about choosing a sofa you’ll love so we’ve put together this blog to help you.

Below are the things to consider when choosing a sofa

Research

As time-consuming as it may be, researching is the best way to find the style, colour and types of sofas you like. Once you have an idea of what it is you love you can narrow down the choices and delve deeper into the world of sofas.

Some things to consider when doing your research are:

What type of sofa are you looking for? A two seater, a corner sofa or maybe even a sofa bed?
What colours will match your style and your home the best?
Do you love to stretch out and put your feet up?
Is how and where your sofa was made important to you?
Do you have kids or pets? Are you looking for strain resistant, durable fabrics?
What quality assurances / warranties are offered to you?

At Habbio, not only are our sofa stylish, comfortable and durable they are also great for you and the environment with fewer toxic chemicals that other sofa suppliers and made in the UK by craftsmen with only recycled or ethically sourced materials, you can relax knowing that you’ve chosen a sofa that loves the environment

High, Quality, Well built

Just because it looks great, doesn’t mean it’ll last. It may look great but if the quality is poor and the sofa is badly built then it could mean not only an uncomfortable sofa but it could mean you end up replacing it quicker than you’d like.

The look of your sofa is very important, but it is also important to choose a sofa that is made from high quality materials and well built to ensure it lasts for many years to come.

Modular Sofas

Modular sofas have risen in popularity over the years and we completely understand why. With life’s circumstances continually changing, investing in a sofa that can grow and change whenever you need is perfect. Modular sofas can be taken apart and put back together easily – looking to make it bigger? Simply add single modular sofa pieces whenever or remove pieces if you need to make it smaller.

At Habbio, we have a range of modular sofas (HBO4) that not only are practical they are stylish and comfortable. With Habbio you never have to compromise.

Warranty

Look for the warranties or quality assurances provided by sofa companies, so should anything break, will it be fixed or replaced? Companies that offer warranties and guarantee to their customers are confident that their products are built to last giving you extra reassurance you’re purchasing a quality product you can use and love for years.

Design and appearance

Trendy items are great, but are you going to love the item in years to come? Will it go out of trend or are you going to get bored of it quickly? If so, it might be worth considering choosing a style or colour that you know you won’t get bored of or want to change once the trends have moved on.

At Habbio, our sofas are designed to look good for years to come, with a sophisticated yet timeless design, add them to any room. Add some comfy seating to your kitchen, add a reading nook to your bedroom or find your perfect sofa for your living room.

Our sofas squeeze through the narrowest of corridors and up the steepest of stairs, designed for minimum hassle and maximum comfort.

A lot of our sofas are modular which means you can add extra units should you ever want to increase the size of your sofa. We wanted to design a sofa that grows with you and lasts for years to come, no matter your change in circumstances.

We also have two seaters, three seaters, corner sofas, chaise sofas and sofa beds to choose from.

Find out what our customers think about our sofas

“A comfy sofa that fitted my needs” I took a long time deciding on a sofa as I wanted one that was more environmentally-friendly, with no animal products in it, that would fit through my narrow Victorian hallway. I found Habbio’s sofas fitted the bill at what I consider a very reasonable price. After receiving my fabric samples, the online ordering was simple, the delivery date confirmed within weeks, and the delivery on time. It took about 10 minutes for the friendly and attentive delivery person to put together the sofa. I’m super happy with my sofa, which I’ve found very comfortable. All in all, a very good experience.

“Great personal service” Habbio have been very personal, friendly and responsive in their service. The organisation of delivery was easy, and on the day Sharon kept me informed of timings, which helped a lot. Daniel, who delivered the sofas, was very helpful and assembled them for us straight away. They are definitely quick to assemble! Gorgeous to look at too, the midnight blue colour even better in real life.
