What is the difference between fixed-back and scatter-back sofas?

High-back sofas offer a cleaner, more structured look and require less daily maintenance. Pillow-back sofas provide a softer, relaxed aesthetic but require regular cushion plumping to maintain shape. Your choice depends on styling preference and how much upkeep you’re comfortable with.

Which sofa material is most durable for family homes?

Durability depends on construction and fabric rating. Performance polyester is great for resisting staining and fading, especially from sunlight. Leather is long-lasting and easy to wipe clean, while velvet offers luxury but may require more maintenance. For busy Irish households with children or pets, tightly woven fabrics or protected leather are often safest.

How long should a good quality sofa last?

A well-built sofa with a hardwood frame should last at least 7–15 years. Higher-end frames and quality foam cushions can extend lifespan further. Regular cushion rotation and correct cleaning significantly increase durability.

What cushion filling is best: foam, fibre, or feather?

High-density foam offers firm support and shape retention. Fibre-filled cushions feel softer but may flatten quicker. Feather blends provide luxury softness but require regular plumping. Your ideal option depends on comfort preference and maintenance tolerance.

Maintenance

Faux Suede Care:

Faux suede is a high-performance and easy-to-clean fabric.
Remove dust from faux suede using the brush attachment and a low suction on your vacuum.
Remove stains by using a paper towel to soak up any excess moisture. Use a clean, damp cloth and gently rub across the spill.
Remove body/pet odours by enlisting the help of a professional. We recommend having your faux suede sofa steam cleaned every 12-18 months. It's important to have all matching pieces of faux suede cleaned at the same time to produce an even fade. After steam cleaning, it is advisable to brush the surface to restore the raised look or nap of the surface.
