subject: Tips For Getting Maximum Comfort From Your New Furniture [print this page] So you have just gotten settled in your new house and now you realize the old comfortable chair you have had for years isn't comfortable at all anymore. Should you get rid of your big comfy chair? Well, the answer isn't always "no". You really don't have to make a choice. It is possible to purchase new furniture which can be comfortable if you are aware of some shopping tricks.
Let's begin with your living room. Have had your living room furniture for longer than 10 years? If so, it is probably time to look at the option of buying new furniture. Is your couch the perfect size for an apartment, but not your new home? You should always take the measurements of your new furniture into consideration. Do not be scared to try your couch out in the showroom. After all, you do want to be sure it will be comfortable to lay on at home.
Are you in are search of a recliner or chair? You should slide off your shoes and take a seat in it as if you are at home in your own chair. If you like to have your feet tucked under you at home, do the same thing while testing the chair. Test how far the recliner goes back or how does the rocker rock. It's important to be aware if the furniture is comfy or not. Definitely don't buy it if it is uncomfortable. Never buy furniture which you feel may need "broken in". The furniture should already be comfortable when you buy it.
Next, let's think about your dining room. You need to think about the table and seating arrangements. If you have five members in your family, you will not find any comfort if you are sitting at a small breakfast bar meant for two. If it's only two of you or you hardly ever entertain, you may not need to purchase a table that seats eight. Be aware of your specific needs. Never pick furniture with a style or color you do not initially like. These are the only ways to really know if your are buying comfortable furniture.
We all know it can feel awkward lying down on a showroom bed. You will have to do this if you are planning on buying one. How do you sleep usually? Lay on the bed the way you will at home. Try rolling around a little bit. Does it feel comfortable? Never buy the first bed you tried just because if felt comfortable when you first tried it. If you try another bed, it may feel even more comfortable.
When it comes to buying furniture for a home office, apply the same tips discussed. Pull your chair up to the desk as if you are working. Test out the drawers, making sure they slide out correctly. Will your printer be within a comfortable reach?
You don't have to give up your own sense of style to keep your home comfortable. By having style, you can have comfortable furniture.
