In the production of direct sofas, various materials are used on which the cost of the finished product depends.

Suitable materials for upholstery are genuine leather, artificial leather or fabric.

The most durable and attractive material is the skin of natural origin. She is not afraid of temperature extremes and mechanical damage. On the surface of the sofa with such upholstery is difficult to leave a scratch or a lead.

Many consumers choose such models because of their unpretentiousness.There is no need to take care of a leather sofa. If a dirty stain appears on its surface, it can be cleaned with a simple detergent and a damp cloth. For this reason, small-sized leather sofas are often placed in the kitchen or in the hallway, where the risk of getting dirty is great like in no other room.

Straight leather sofas are more expensive than all other options, but they look more luxurious and more durable.

If you want to put an elegant leather sofa in your home, but are not ready to leave a tidy sum of money in a furniture store, then you can stop at a more affordable version with upholstery made of eco-leather or leatherette.

These materials differ from each other in the manufacturing process and content components. So, eco-leather is made from a combination of natural leather, cellulose and an outer polyurethane coating. The basis of leatherette is PVC.

Eco-leather upholstered sofas are smoother and more pleasant to the touch. This material is elastic and soft. The skin replacement is rougher and tougher, and it does not tolerate temperature changes.

Furniture with a similar upholstery looks in no way inferior to more expensive options made of genuine leather, but in terms of its performance characteristics is less practical and durable.

On the surface of the leatherette and eco-leather, over time, small cracks or abrasions may form (especially if it is leatherette). It is not recommended to sit on the sofas with such upholstery in clothes with metal rivets and other similar trifles, as they can catch on the upholstery and damage it.

It is unlikely that fabric sofas will ever lose their popularity. They can be plain or supplemented with a variety of prints. For upholstery of upholstered furniture most often used such types of textiles as flock, velor and matting.

Flock is widely used for decoration of upholstered furniture. This fabric differs in excellent operational characteristics and low cost.

This material is a special non-woven textiles, on which one of the sides is fleecy.

Flock can have a different basis:

• Polyamide flock is very soft and gentle. It is durable. The surface with such upholstery can easily withstand heavy loads.The only disadvantage of polyamide flock is its susceptibility to fading. Over time, such a sofa may lose its original bright color and become pale.

• It is in many ways similar to polyamide polyester flock, but it has excellent hydrophobic properties (repels water). Such upholstery is not subject to fading colors, which allows it to maintain an attractive appearance for a long time. But this textile has one drawback: it is difficult to dye. Because of this, the choice of colors of sofas with such a finish is not so diverse.

• Viscose flock is easily painted, but over time the pile on its surface is wrinkled. For this reason, such material is not addressed so often. As a rule, viscose flock is used for decoration of decorative parts of upholstered furniture, soft toys and so on.

Another common upholstery material is velor. It is of two types: velor-drape and velor-velvet. The second option has a soft texture and is made of viscose silk.

Fine textile textile is velor-drape. It consists of natural wool, which has a thick short pile.

Furniture with velor upholstery quickly absorbs odors, so it is not recommended to put in the kitchen space or on the balcony. Such furniture is not worth buying to smoking people.

The disadvantage of such an upholstery is its marko. Dust, dirt, hair and pet hair easily adhere to the velor. To maintain an attractive appearance, the sofa will have to be regularly cleaned with a damp cloth or treated with a sticky roller.

Cotton or linen basis has a matting. Such textiles have a characteristic print, which is obtained due to the special interweaving of threads. The gunny is wearproof and durable material. It is very practical, but it is worth being extremely careful if your pets live at home - animals often grind claws on sofas with such a surface.

Classic straight sofas can have a variety of dimensions, which allows you to choose the right product for the premises of any size and layout.

The most common are models whose length is 170, 175, 180, 187, 190, 200, 208, 210, 220, 242, 248, 249, 250, 256, 315, 230, 240, 245 cm. The width of such models starts from 93-95 to 150 (160) -173 cm.

More free space will be required for large models with a length of 260, 270, 280, 290, 300 cm and more.So, a large sofa bed with dimensions of 2000x2000 will be not only a large and comfortable seat, but also a spacious place to sleep.

For a spacious living room, a comfortable and long sofa (2 or 3 meters) will be the best option. It can be either double or triple. If square meters allow, you can put a luxurious four-seater sofa with various additions (bar, shelves, ottoman, etc.).

The depth of the upholstered furniture depends directly on what design is present in it. This indicator can vary from 70 to 120 cm. Narrower models have a depth of less than 80 cm.

Thus, a deep single model with parameters 120x200 or 120x190 can replace a small children's bed, especially if the area of ​​the room does not allow placing both of these pieces of furniture.
