Before you know the fabric, ask the type of fill that is filled inside the sofa. Every type of unique filling provide less level to high level comfort.

    I think buying any product of long use is the greatest task before us and we are just made fool by the sellers in the market. My advise is to not to go for purchase where in heavy discounts are offered for this sofa. In fact there are very good hand made sofas being sold on the road side by the best designs. Never under estimate these sofas for the quality. They are on par with the quality we get at the shops. More over these road side sofas are heavily bargain-able and surely we can clinch a better deal of our choice. So think twice before buying sofas at the shop.
