Question 1

What is the difference between a manual and electric recliner?

Accepted Answer

Manual recliners use a lever or body weight to recline, while electric recliners use a motorised mechanism controlled by buttons to allow for smoother, adjustable positioning and effortless operation.

Question 2

How much space do I need behind a recliner sofa?

Accepted Answer

Most recliners require 10–15 cm of clearance behind the sofa when fully reclined, though some designs are more space-efficient because they slide forward as they recline.

Question 3

Are recliner sofas suitable for smaller living rooms?

Accepted Answer

Recliner sofas can be suitable for smaller living rooms if you account for the full extension depth, with slim-profile models being particularly effective for compact Irish homes.

Question 4

What is the difference between a recliner sofa and a recliner armchair?

Accepted Answer

A recliner sofa seats multiple people and often features dual reclining ends, whereas a recliner armchair is designed for a single user and offers more layout flexibility as an accent piece.

Question 5

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 6

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 7

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 8

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 9

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 10

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 11

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 12

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 13

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 14

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 15

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 16

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.
