3 tips when buying an armchair
Choose an armchair or sofa with washable, preferably removable covers so you don't have to worry about spilt food, muddy animal paws or sticky little fingers. Go for leather or polyester upholstery that's easy to maintain by wiping clean with a cloth.
Good to know: Leather is sensitive to moisture and strong sunlight, which can cause it to fade and discolour. The same goes for cotton, so think about where you’ll be placing your armchair.
Investi in a high-quality armchair, so you can enjoy it for a long time. Here's what to look for:
Check the Martindale value to see how durable the material is. Aim for a value of at least 15000 for home use.
Look for a high pilling scale rating to ensure the fabric is resistant to pilling. A rating of 5 is best.
Check light fastness rating to see how well the fabric can withstand sunlight. A rating of 8 means maximum light fastness.
When looking for a new armchair, it's essential to find one that is both beautiful and comfortable. So how to find the perfect one?
If you have back problems, look for a reclining armchair that comes with adjustable support for your back and feet. We recommend an electric recliner you can operate remotely. Many models can also swivel and tilt.
If you're an avid reader, look for a reading chair with a high back and armrests that provide excellent support for extended periods of reading.
An armchair on castors is a great choice if you need something that's easy to move, making it simple to clean around and under it.
