Five tips for selecting the perfect sofa

Our sofa guide

In Danish design, every piece tells a story of comfort, style and craftsmanship. Choosing the perfect sofa isn’t just about function – it’s about creating a space that truly feels like home. With our 5 thoughtful tips, you’ll find a sofa that’s as luxurious as it is inviting.

1. Find a design that matches your style

When it comes to choosing a sofa, the options are endless. Whether you’re after a sleek 2-seater to pair with a corner sofa, a stylish sofa bed to elevate your guest bedroom, or a modular design for added flexibility, each style offers something unique. Start by envisioning the look and feel you want to create – be it modern minimalism or soft, timeless tradition. Your sofa isn’t just furniture; it’s the statement piece that sets the entire mood for your space.

2. Choose the size that fits your space

The perfect sofa should feel like it was made just for your home, fitting seamlessly into both your space and your lifestyle. Before making your choice, it’s important to measure your space carefully. Start by clearing the area where the sofa will sit and measuring the width and height to ensure the sofa fits perfectly. Keep in mind other elements like side tables or lamps that may influence the available space. This way, you’ll not only ensure a perfect fit but also make the most of your room's potential.

3. Test every seat for true comfort

When choosing your sofa, we recommend visiting your nearest BoConcept store. Spend at least three minutes trying our display sofas – the perfect amount of time to truly experience their comfort. Crafted with high-quality, high-density foam mixed with down for extra softness, all you need to focus on is whether you want to sink into your seating or prefer firmer support. After all, this is an investment in your comfort, and we want you to feel completely confident in your choice. Sit. Slouch. Lie. Lounge. Whatever feels best for you.

4. Fabric vs. leather

Every detail matters – especially when it comes to customising your perfect sofa. With advanced fabric treatments and high-performance blends, the difference between fabric and leather is more subtle than ever. Leather, renowned for its unmatched durability and effortless maintenance, offers timeless elegance. In contrast, fabric opens up a world of possibilities, adding depth, vibrant colour and tactility to your space. To help you find the perfect match, we've curated a guide to walk you through all your options.
