How to measure the quality of a sofa bed?

As we all know, a sofa consists of a frame and cushion fillings. And the quality of the frame and cushion fillings determine the quality of a sofa. Today we are going to talk another type of sofa-sofa bed and deep into the data on measuring the quality.

Cushion fillings

Quality cushion fillings will make a great difference for your sofa as high-density foam fillings gives a completely different soft experience and strong support for the users. Therefore choosing a high-quality cushion is the key important factor when buying a sofa.

Materials of a cushion

The common materials used to fill the sofa include polyester fibers, feather and foam. Due to the low rebound rate of both polyester fibers and feather, it is commonly to see the combination of foam and feather or polyester fibers. Among them, the foam works as a main supporter to maintain the shape of a sofa while the feather or polyester fibers work to add the softness of a sofa.

High-density and rebound rate of foam

Therefore, a cushion is mainly supported by foam and according to our daily life knowledge the higher density and higher rebound rate of the foam means the higher quality it has. But how to measure the density and rebound rate? Are there standard data for reference? Resilience is an important indicator of the surface elasticity or “springiness” of foam. Resilience and comfort have a close relationship. Resilience is usually measured by dropping a steel ball onto the foam cushion and measuring how high the ball rebounds. Foam resilience ranges from about 20 percent ball rebound to as high as 80 percent rebound. Higher resilience in a foam often means that sofa seat cushions, for example, have a better “hand” or surface feel.

Standard data of high-density and recovery rate of foam

Of course there are. The high density of the sponge means that the gap inside is small, and the mass is also large.for example, 30 density means that the weight of a cubic meter sponge is 30kg. And this data will be showed on products’ package. The foam density of a sofa cushion is generally around 35, and the mattress is generally around 22. Foam resilience ranges from about 20 percent ball rebound to as high as 80 percent rebound. Higher resilience in a foam often means that sofa seat cushions, for example, have a better “hand” or surface feel. By the way,the standard is different from countries, so the above data is just for reference.
