Frame material

A quality sofa frame performs an important role in the whole sofa as it provide a support to the upper layer and the human weight. The frame is the skeleton to a sofa that keeps every part of the sofa together, and in view of this the most important property of sofa frame is strong and robust — able to stand up to everyday use without compromising on comfort.

Many manufacturers use either plastics and other composite materials in their contemporary designs, but the vast majority of seating options will be constructed using a wood or steel frame. Let’s deep into the advantages and disadvantages of both materials and choose the option the best suits your needs.

When it comes to stability, both wood and steel can provide a nice support as long as invested enough material.

Cushion filling

As we mentioned above, sofa frame works as skeleton while sofa cushion will provide the comfortable and cozy experience for the users. The most commonly used cushion filling are foam, feather, and polyester fiber.

Foam

The greatest advantage of foam is that it provides a soft feel while having an inherent pliability, which allows it to recover quickly without subside.The stiffness or softness of the foam, and the amount of air bubbles formed during the process, determines both the overall feel and the density of the finally completed foam. The more material and less air there is in foam, the greater its density. In a word, the higher the density, the more expensive and better quality the foam.

Polyester fibers

Compared with foam, it is more difficult for polyester fibers to recover after inflicting a push force, which need regular plumping up to allow the air to be replaced. Although they feel soft by virtue of the air trapped in between their filaments or fibers in the beginning, the air is easy to be squeezed out by the time resulting in inadequate fluffy.

Feather

Similar to polyester fibers, feather-filled cushion pad offers a slightly softer and less firm feel than foam. Likewise, people need spend much more time to maintain its shape such as plumping regularly as feathers are prone to clumping.

Feather fillings are usually used along with other fillings in a hybrid cushion. Commonly used combinations include feather-clad foam, which consists of a foam filling serves as a main supporter which is wrapped in a layer of feathers, and feather and polyester fiber, which can be mixed to reduce clumping and increase comfort.
