It is estimated that the average person spends approximately 14 to 16 hours a day in either a seated and/or lying position – most of it atop upholstered furniture. Very few consumers have an understanding of the technology that comfortably supports our bodies in these relaxed positions. Allow us to help out here, not only as to how a sofa or chair is put together, but also how to select upholstered furniture for your home.

The first part of any sofa is the sark kösesi almanya frame. Although it is hidden from view, attention should be paid to this crucial part. For a quality sofa, select a frame made of hard woods such as oak, ash or maple. The frame should also be kiln dried in an effort to extract any excess moisture and strengthen the wood. When moisture is eliminated, your sofa will stand a better chance against warping. This can occur in climates that tend to undergo severe weather changes. A few more “buzz” words pertaining to the wood frame of your sofa should include “double doweled, glued and bolted” which mean all joints are fitted and bolted wherever possible to ensure a wobble-free frame. “Corner blocking” is still used whenever possible to add to the overall strength and hold the frame rigid. If you expect to invest in a sofa that will last several years, its construction should be of the above described solid wood frame.

As you are approached by the savvy salesperson while seated on the showroom floor sofa, you should ask if the manufacturer offers “eight-way, hand-tied” individual coil springs in the seat cushions. This will allow the coil springs in the cushions to evenly distribute the weight while you are seated on the sofa and allow two people of different weights to be seated at the same time. A “flat spring or batten strap” will not hold up over time and will cause your sofa to eventually mimic a trampoline-so make sure you get a eight-way, hand-tied model.

Much has been written and can be talked about on the subject of “cushions.” When you are choosing a “cushion style” for your sofa, down-ticking with a poly-foam insert would be preferable to most consumers. The down feathers are sewn in place at a 2″ depth around the cushion, all the while being supported by the poly foam fiber inside. This combination gives the most comfort and additionally, it has “memory” allowing the cushion to automatically “bounce” back into shape. Keep in mind that the back cushions should have significant lumbar properties and that retention of shape is an integral look of the overall finished sofa and/or chair. When deciding on your back cushions, some sark kosesi manufacturers can substitute lesser quality for the back cushions instead of down feathers. But the real test is the “sitting test”…Just sit down on a few sofas and decide which one feels the best to you.
