SOFA BUYING GUIDE

Your Everyday Sofa Guide: Comfort Starts Here

At Ordinaire, we know your sofa isn’t just furniture — it’s your landing pad after a long day, your snack station on weekends, and sometimes even your pet’s throne. Picking the right one should feel less like solving a puzzle and more like finding a good friend.

We’ve put together the essentials so you can find the sofa that makes everyday living easier.

Fabric Talk: Finding the Right Match for Everyday Living

Let’s be real — no one buys a sofa to admire it from afar. You’re going to live on it. Morning coffee spills. Late-night snacks. That one pet who thinks the sofa was bought just for them. Which means fabric choice matters.

Performance Fabric: The Chaos-Proof Choice

For the homes where life happens loud and fast. Kids, pets, coffee spills — performance fabric is built to survive it all. Stain-resistant, durable, and still soft enough to sink into.

Our performance fabrics are designed to keep up with everyday life: they withstand heavy usage, meet contract standards in the EU & USA, and are free from PFAS or other harmful chemicals. Plus, they’re pet-friendly and machine-washable at 30 °C — so clean-ups are as easy as living on them.

Leather: The Age-Like-Fine-Wine Option

Cool in summer, warm in winter, always timeless. Leather doesn’t just last — it gets better. Every crease and mark tells a story, making it more “yours” over time. Call it an investment in character.

Size Matters: Size, scale, and the art of measuring
