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

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

One of the most common mistakes in sofa shopping? Choosing a "beauty" in picture that turns out too big — or too small — once it’s actually in your space.

Here’s what to keep in mind:

Room size vs. sofa size

Your sofa should fit the space, not swallow it. Measure your living room and leave about 30–45cm around the sofa so you can walk (and not stub your toes every morning).

Depth & height

- Deeper seats (55–65cm): Perfect for lounging, naps, and Netflix binges. - Shallower seats (45–55cm): Great for upright sitting and conversations. - Low-back: More casual, laid-back. - High-back: More support, especially if you’re tall or love structure.

Doorways & staircases

A sofa that looks perfect in the showroom won’t matter if it can’t get into your home. Always measure entrances, stairways, and elevators. Fewer awkward pivots = fewer delivery-day disasters.
