The Ultimate Guide Before Purchasing Leather Sofa or Fabric Sofa

Check The Quality Of Sofa Frame

Use both hands to shake the whole leather sofa back and forth. If you feel better, the frame is firm. Then discuss with the sales personnel, uncover a corner of the bottom cloth under the seat, and check. If there is no rotten, moth eaten, scar, bark or wood wool, and the joint between the material and the material is nailed with pneumatic stapler machine and then glued firmly.

- Check for wood quality ( Canadian Pine Wood Is Recommended ).

Never go for SILVER WOOD, NEEM WOOD it will have Termite Problem which can damage your complete home interior also this woods will Bend over a period of time.

- Thickness of wood 1.2" recommended.

- Commercial 19mm Ply recommended.

- Every seat should have the ply L support which makes the frame strong and durable.

Test the quality of inner cushion

High grade sofa cushion should use high density foam foam with a density of more than 30 kg / cubic meter, and the back cushion should use high foam foam with a density of more than 25 kg / cubic meter. In order to improve the comfort of sitting, some foam is also soft treated under the premise of ensuring that the density is not reduced. Some of them are equipped with vertical springs in the cushion so that the sofa has higher resilience and anti-aging performance. In general, the sofa cushion after the human body sits down is the best with a depression of about 10 cm

- Check for the foam brand, density with foam warranty.

- Make sure what type of seating cushion comfort you want, ask for a demo sofa to check over all seating comfort.

- Check if you need a elastic suspension or a steel spring suspension depending on your comfort.

- Key point : Make sure you get the same thickness of foam it is promised, let me explain with an example suppose the sofa seat cushion looks 6" thick but actual seat cushion will be 3" and rest 3" will be wooden frame but the front view is made in such a way it looks like 6" cushion.

Look at the fabric and sewing

To buy a leather sofa, you need to choose leather. Leather sofas are divided into full leather sofas and half leather sofas. Each set of full leather sofas consumes cow leather equivalent to 10 cattle. It has high value, good air permeability and environmental protection performance. Full leather sofas are widely used in developed countries such as Europe and America. PU leather or artificial leather PVC is used to replace cowhide in the back, bottom and other concealed parts of the sofa, but the direct contact part of the human body is still cowhide with high value, thus reducing the cost of the sofa, which is more economical. Sofa leather is divided into yellow leather and buffalo leather, which are divided into first layer leather, second layer leather and third layer leather according to the number of layers; domestic leather and imported leather according to the origin. The quality of imported leather is the best from Italy and Germany. It meets the strict environmental protection requirements. It has high color fastness, good elasticity and permeability, high mechanical strength, especially tear strength and tensile strength. High quality leather sofa must be made of cow leather.

Cloth wrapping depends on whether the fabric closely adheres to the internal filler and whether it is flat and straight, especially the joint of two handrails, seats and backs should be naturally and without pleats. If it is a circular and semi-circular handrail, it depends on whether the arc is smooth, plump and beautiful. The fabric of flower pattern or checkerboard pattern should see whether the flower shape at the splicing is matched uniformly, whether the checkerboard is horizontal and vertical, without inclination or distortion. Finally, sit down and have a try. Feel whether the inclination angle of the seat and back or the curvature of the upper part of the back seat is close to the waist, back, hip and leg bend; whether the height of the pillow and back is appropriate, whether the height of the armrest is consistent with the natural extension and opening of the two arms; whether the sitting feeling is comfortable, and whether the stand is free. Stand up and then look at the fabric at the hips, back rests and armrests for obvious slack pleats that won't recover for a long time.
