There are many elements to consider when choosing a sofa, including lifestyle. If you have young children, this will greatly impact your choice as you’ll want to avoid certain materials such as white velvet. The size of your home is important as well. If you live in a studio, for example, certain sofas will be much too big, such as the U-shaped sofa. Since the sofa is the main attraction of the living room, where we spend a lot of time either lounging around or receiving guests, there are a few questions to keep in mind during the hunt for the perfect one.
In regards to padding, we are talking about the material that will fill the cushions of the seat and backrest. This is another important aspect that will create a comfortable and firm sofa.
There are several types of upholstery, offering different properties; however, the most used is polyurethane foam. This type of upholstery has a high density, reaching between 30 and 35 kg / m3. Since the seat cushions are more important than back cushions, in terms of use, polyurethane foam can usually be found in seat cushions.
Since the density of Polyether foam is lower, averaging between 20 and 25 kg / m3, it’s used for the back cushions. It can also be used as reinforcement in the seat cushions or for embedding the structure and softening the sharpest corners. In regards to softening the sharp corners, instead of using polyether foam, you can consider a sofa that has wadding, whose density runs between 200 and 500 g / m3. To save money, or if you have a low budget, foam flakes can be used for padding cushions.
