Question 1

Are fabric sofas good for homes with pets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, fabric sofas are good for homes with pets if you choose tightly woven fabrics that resist claw snags and avoid loose weaves. Mid-tone colours also help disguise minor marks and pet hair better than very light or very dark shades.

Question 2

Will fabric sofas fade in sunlight?

Accepted Answer

Prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading over time, especially in darker colours. To prevent this, position sofas away from strong south-facing windows where possible or use blinds to reduce UV exposure. Polyester fabrics are more resistant to fading, but will still fade after prolonged expesure to sunlight.

Question 3

Do fabric sofas stain easily?

Accepted Answer

Staining depends on the weave and treatment of the material. Performance fabrics and synthetic blends resist staining better than natural fibres, and applying a fabric protector such as Guardsman can add extra protection.

Question 4

Are fabric sofas easy to clean?

Accepted Answer

Most modern fabrics are designed for easy maintenance, needing only weekly vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and immediate blotting of spills. Some models include removable cushion covers for easier cleaning, but you should always follow manufacturer care guidelines.

Question 5

What does “rub count” mean in fabric sofas?

Accepted Answer

Rub count, often measured using the Martindale test, indicates durability where 15,000–25,000 signifies light domestic use, 25,000–40,000 indicates general domestic use, and 40,000+ suggests heavy domestic use. Higher rub counts generally mean better resistance to wear.

Question 6

Are fabric sofas durable enough for family homes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, fabric sofas are durable enough for family homes provided you choose tightly woven, high-rub-count fabrics. Performance fabrics and polyester blends are particularly suitable for busy households with children or pets.

Question 7

Are modular corner sofas worth considering?

Accepted Answer

Modular designs are highly beneficial as they allow sections to be rearranged or expanded, making them ideal for households that move frequently or have restricted access routes for delivery.

Question 8

Are corner sofas difficult to deliver?

Accepted Answer

Most corner sofas are delivered in multiple sections to facilitate easier access through hallways and staircases, though it is still essential to measure door widths before placing an order.

Question 9

What is the ideal seat height for a corner sofa?

Accepted Answer

The ideal seat height for a corner sofa typically ranges from 45–60 cm, which is designed to prioritize lounging comfort in family-focused living spaces.

Question 10

Do corner sofas define open-plan spaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in open-plan homes, a corner sofa serves as a visual anchor that naturally zones the living area and separates it from the kitchen or dining spaces without the need for extra furniture.

Question 11

What size are standard corner sofas?

Accepted Answer

Standard L-shaped corner sofas typically measure between 240 and 320 cm along the longer side and 150 to 200 cm on the shorter return, with a depth ranging from 90 to 110 cm.

Question 12

Are corner sofas better than separate sofas?

Accepted Answer

Corner sofas are excellent for maximizing seating in a specific footprint and utilizing corner space, while separate sofas offer greater flexibility for those who wish to rearrange their furniture layout frequently.

Question 13

What is the difference between left-hand and right-hand corner sofas?

Accepted Answer

The orientation is determined by the position of the protruding section, or chaise, when you are facing the sofa. If the extended section is on your left, it is a left-hand facing (LHF) sofa, and if it is on your right, it is a right-hand facing (RHF) sofa.

Question 14

How do I know if a corner sofa will fit in my living room?

Accepted Answer

To determine if a corner sofa will fit, you should measure the total wall length on both sides of the corner, the room depth, and the clearance for doors and walkways. It is recommended to allow at least 90 cm of clearance for walkways to avoid blocking doors, noting that these sofas typically work best in rooms over 4 metres wide.

Question 15

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

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 16

Which sofa material is most durable for family homes?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 17

How long should a good quality sofa last?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 18

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

Accepted Answer

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.
