Sofa fabric

Step 2 fill linen

All cotton and linen fabrics, if left untreated, are prone to wrinkle and are difficult to take care of. Therefore, cotton and linen used as sofa will add some fibers to increase the wear resistance, air permeability and color fastness, and achieve the required performance of sofa fabrics.

This kind of fabric is collectively called "cotton and linen", which is wear-resistant and does not fade, and retains the texture of cotton and linen.

In addition, there are wool fabrics and wool-like fabrics, whose characteristics are close to cotton and linen.

3. Craft cloth

A new type of fabric, the biggest feature is that its appearance and texture are very similar to (frosted) leather, so it has been highly praised by environmentalists and animal protectors once it is launched.

Sofas made of this fabric have the texture and color of real leather, and the price is much more affordable than real leather.

Science and technology cloth is actually a kind of cloth, so it has good moisture permeability, air permeability and air permeability. It is also called "breathable fabric", which is durable, easy to take care of and easy to clean. It can be wiped with a rag at ordinary times.

4. Leather

Leather sofas are often expensive, but they are still liked by many people.

Leather sofa is not only soft and comfortable, warm in winter and cool in summer, but also gorgeous and durable. If properly maintained, a good leather sofa can be used for a long time.

5. Polyurethane

Polyurethane is a kind of regenerated leather, which belongs to a new generation of synthetic leather. It is not genuine leather, but it is equivalent to genuine leather in wear resistance, cold resistance, texture and visual effect, but not as breathable as genuine leather.

6, Pu leather

Pu leather is the most common synthetic leather. This kind of fabric, commonly known as "artificial leather", is actually a polyurethane component. It looks and feels like leather, which is cheap, but its wear resistance and aging resistance are not high.

Selection skill

When choosing sofa fabrics, it is suggested to consider the following aspects:

Match the home style;

Cleaning and maintenance;

Service life;

style

Different fabrics create different styles:

Cotton and linen are natural and simple; Velvet fabric, luxurious and beautiful; Science and technology cloth, low-key sense of advanced; Pu leather, high-end; Polyurethane, high-grade and luxurious; Leather, tall.

Comparison of the styles of sofa, cloth art and leather art with the same style;

When choosing fabrics, we must combine the decoration style at home.

For example, Nordic, modern and luxurious styles are all suitable for choosing leather sofas to create a sense of high quality; As for choosing technical cloth, pu leather, polyurethane or genuine leather, it depends on budget and preference.

Japanese style, small fresh style, fabric sofa is more suitable.

Retro, luxury, velvet fabric is the first choice.

Craft fabric sofa is very inclusive because of its matte "leather" texture, which is not only suitable for simple and atmospheric background, but also can be matched with low-key and simple environment.

Cleaning and maintenance

In terms of convenient cleaning and maintenance, leather sofa >: fabric sofa leather art can only be wiped with a cloth to keep it bright and beautiful every once in a while; Fabric is troublesome, and improper handling of colored stains may leave traces; If a large area is dirty, it needs dry cleaning.

life

You get what you pay. Although leather sofa is more expensive than fabric, its service life is usually longer than fabric. Generally speaking, leather sofas can be used for 5- 10 years. If properly maintained, the service life can be longer. The life of fabric sofa is much shorter.

Sofa frame and bracket

The frame of the sofa, similar to the skeleton, shapes and supports the sofa.

Divided into outer frame and inner frame. A sofa with an outer frame is like a crab, and its shell is wrapped in meat; The inner frame, like a human being, has bones in its flesh and supports the whole sofa.

Of course, there are those without skeletons, such as this lazy sofa, which is like a mollusk without bones and can be "trampled" at will.

The material of sofa frame is generally solid wood, man-made board and metal.

1, solid wood frame

There are mainly these kinds: pine, which is tough and not easy to break; Chinese fir has a strong function of absorbing and removing water; Eucalyptus, moderate hardness, moderate toughness and moderate cost; Birch has a long growth period and high cost; Ash wood, strong durability and good corrosion resistance.

2, artificial plate frame

Wood-based panels are also widely used materials at present. Compared with solid wood, it is cheaper, simpler and more efficient, but not as durable as solid wood.

3. Metal frame

Metal frame, strong bearing capacity, more stable structure, not easy to mold. The outer frame is made of metal, which is more industrial and fashionable; The inner frame is made of metal, which is durable.

Let's talk about the elastic supports commonly used in sofas, which usually include snake springs and bandages.

4. Snake spring/bandage

The snake spring is evenly stressed and durable. Whether sitting in the middle or on the side, the force is basically uniform and the sitting feeling is more rigid. The snake spring is made of steel and other metals, with long service life.

Bandages are elastic and soft, and they feel heavy when sitting down. However, bandages are prone to uneven stress and may lose elasticity after long-term use.

Selection skill

Selection of frame materials, combined with budget and preference.

It needs a little attention to choose the outer frame or the inner frame. The outer frame sofa is separated from the frame pad, which is convenient for cleaning and replacement; And the outer frame is lighter, which can save more space for the living room.

Sofa with inner frame is softer and warmer, and it can sit and lie, making it more comfortable to sit. The whole soft bag is not easy to bump, and the family with children is more suitable for the inner frame sofa.

In addition, if there are children who like to jump on the sofa at home, it is recommended to choose a sofa with snake springs or bandages for better elasticity and endurance.

Sofa filler

The filling of sofa directly determines the comfort of sitting, and also affects the service life of sofa. Many sofas don't use a single filler, they will be matched with several fillers.

Common fillers are:

1, sponge

High resilience sponge has good endurance and can give good support to the body; Good elasticity, easy to sit down; Good density and hardness, not easy to deform after long-term use.

Slow-rebound sponge, the most famous of which is memory cotton, can automatically adapt to the contour of human body, with good fit and softness, but it will be difficult to stand up because of its slow rebound.

Step 2: Down

Feather-filled packages feel good and soft and comfortable to sit on. Feathers are expensive and are usually used with sponges or to fill cushions.

The resilience of down is not as good as that of sponge. Usually you can pat the cushion and bag from time to time to make it full.

3, doll cotton

Synthetic cotton for dolls and pillows has good elasticity, good air permeability, comfort and low price, and is often used to fill pillows and cushions. The disadvantage is that it is easy to collapse and harden after long use.

4, independent pocket spring

Some sofas will add independent pocket springs. Independent springs are evenly arranged, which can disperse pressure, have good elasticity and support, and people sitting next to each other will not affect each other. But because of the high cost and complicated manufacturing process, it is only used on some sofas.

Selection skill

If you like the soft and considerate feeling, the down type is very suitable for you. If you sit down, you will feel that the whole portrait is wrapped.

Like a sponge with stronger resilience and high resilience, even one with an independent pocket spring is more suitable;

If you want to control the budget, doll cotton can also meet the needs of softness and comfort, and it is also economical and applicable;

If there are old people, children or pregnant mothers at home, it is recommended to choose a sofa with moderate sitting feeling to give enough support to the body and waist.
