In our home decoration design, when it comes to soft clothes, the first thing that comes to mind is the sofa. As the protagonist in the living room, I think every family has had the trouble of buying a sofa.

I don't know which material to choose, and I don't know which one is durable. Although a salesperson introduced it, are you at ease?

Although the sofa is not as complicated as the TV cabinet, it is not easy to choose a sofa suitable for your family. How to avoid the pit and how to choose sofa fabric that is satisfactory and cost-effective, let's talk about it today:

Step 1: Look at the material.

Sofas are divided into leather, cloth, curved wood and rattan sofas. Next, let's take a closer look at their advantages and disadvantages:

Leather sofa:

Made of animal skins, such as pigskin, cowhide, sheepskin, etc., it has the advantages of good air permeability and softness, comfortable sitting and dirt resistance, and noble and luxurious appearance. The disadvantage is that the maintenance is complicated and it is easy to harden and age.

Fabric sofa:

The main material is cloth, which is made through a series of artistic processing. The appearance is suitable for families who want to have artistic style. Whether it is a small apartment or a large apartment, it is a good choice to match the best sofa fabrics, which may be lacking in a casual and comfortable home. The disadvantage is that the surface fabric is easy to get dirty and difficult to take care of.

Qumu sofa:

The main material is wood, which is made by processing wood. It is a natural and environmentally friendly material. Although the shape is simple, it is overall atmospheric. There are two kinds of sawing and pressure bending forming, and pressure bending forming according to the bending radian of human body makes people feel comfortable. The disadvantage is that the processing is complicated and the coating is difficult, so the yield is low.

Rattan sofa:

It is made of rattan and is one of the oldest household types in the world. There is a heroic and elegant style, simple and natural style, breathable and refreshing, comfortable and tough, very durable, and the more you use it, the more shiny it is. The disadvantage is that rattan furniture is greatly influenced by seasonal changes. If it is used for a long time, it will produce loose parts of rattan, so stay away from sharp tools.

Step 2: Find out.

Only the truest touch can give you the most direct feeling. First, touch the bottom of the sofa with your hands. Good brand sofas use fabric back cover, while ordinary ones use non-woven back cover.

At this time, some people will ask, how to perceive whether it is cloth or non-woven fabric by hand?

This is the key point, take a small notebook and write it down: poke with your finger, it is non-woven fabric that can be poked or poked, and non-woven fabric will be used only when it is almost used in furniture. And fabric back cover, generally only better furniture will be used.

So far, the best furniture is the back cover with grid cloth, which does not need to be used as nail gun slot, and very few furniture will choose this.

Back cover technology-nail gun

Among the export handicrafts, Japan requires that there should be a nail gun slot to hit the nail gun at the back cover, and the nail gun that can be hit cannot be scratched, because as long as the nail gun slot is opened, the nail gun will be a straight line, so it is easy to distinguish. Japan's export requirements: the nail gun is horizontal and vertical without waste nails, and the back cover fabric is wrinkle-free.

The contrast between the high-standard nail gun technology and the inferior nail gun technology is obvious. The inferior nail gun is crooked, the back cover fabric is uneven, and there are waste nails, as shown in the following picture:

Step 3: sofa filler

There are two basic places where the sofa needs fillers, the seat bag and the backrest bag. Now most of the sofa seat bags on the market are ok, but only a few better furniture will notice the backrest bag. Many inferior furniture will not be made by heart, but will be perfunctory.

Sofa fillers are basically divided into three categories: sponge, down and artificial cotton.

A: sponge

Sponge is a common filler, and it is also the lowest cost of sofa production. It may be doll cotton, which is very environmentally unfriendly and prone to fire. The backrest of the sofa has a zipper, which can be opened intuitively.

B: feathers

Compared with sponge, eiderdown is more expensive and fluffy, and the sitting feeling is much better than sponge, and the sofa is not easy to deform, but eiderdown has several shortcomings: slow rebound, high cost, difficult to take care of, unsuitable for asthma people, and fever in summer. It is recommended to adapt to the use of cushions.

C: latex

Latex is the highest cost among the three materials at present. Latex has the advantages of good air permeability, environmental protection and easy care. Latex protein in latex is a good anti-mite raw material, which is warm in winter and cool in summer without odor and allergy. The disadvantage is low yield.

Step 4: Look at the framework.

The foundation of a good sofa is inseparable from the frame, and the stability of the sofa depends on it. A rocking sofa can never provide you with comfortable enjoyment.

When testing the quality of the sofa frame, you can shake the sofa repeatedly. If there is no looseness and noise, it means that the sofa frame is firm and can be used safely.

Sofa frames are generally divided into solid wood frames and metal frames.

The sofa with solid wood frame itself has some defects. In wet weather, the solid wood frame will be exposed to air for a long time, which will lead to the mildew of solid wood. The south is wetter than the north, so the quality period of the product will be shortened, and this situation is more likely to happen.

The metal sofa frame separates the sofa cushion from the sofa frame structure, and between the frame support plate, the side plate and the support leg, it is convenient to exchange the cushion, with low production cost and beautiful appearance.

Sofa can accompany the migration of a family. If you change to a new house, the sofa can also be moved to the new house to continue to use, so that it can accompany every moment of your life.

So here comes the point. Now will you choose the sofa fabric? After choosing the sofa, you must also pay attention to the maintenance of the sofa.Want to know more about maintenance knowledge of sofa fabric.Yier Textile is the best choice of sofa fabric suppliers.

Sofa maintenance method

Leather sofa:

① The sofa should be thoroughly cleaned with leather cleaner and nursing liquid as soon as it is bought.

② Sofa should be placed in a place with proper temperature, ventilation and no sunlight. The maintenance frequency is twice every three months in the first half of the year, and once every three months thereafter.

3 Daily maintenance suggestions: regularly pat the sofa slightly to keep it beautiful. Do not use strong decontamination products such as washing machine, gasoline and diesel oil to avoid the sofa from hardening, discoloration and aging.

④ When the sofa is not often used, it is recommended to cover it with dust-proof and light-proof packaging materials to keep indoor ventilation.

Fabric sofa:

(1) should regularly use a brush or dust collector to remove the dust on the sofa, to prevent dust or stains from staying on the sofa fabric.

(2) If you touch the beverage, tea, etc., first wipe it with white cotton cloth or absorbent paper towel, then mix 50% with water and white vinegar to wipe the stain, and then clean it with neutral soap.

Qumu sofa:

① To get into the habit of frequent dust removal, it is best to use clean soft cotton cloth instead of sponge or tableware cleaning cloth to reduce friction and avoid damaging furniture.

② Use special solid wood furniture wax polish to maintain the furniture regularly, but the frequency should not be too much, and it is better to do it once or twice a year.

(3) avoid baking at high temperature, which will make the wood deteriorate and crack, and it is not suitable to be in a humid environment. When it is wet, the wood will easily expand and rot after a long time.

Rattan sofa:

(1) Avoid long-term direct sunlight and close to fire sources, so as to prevent rattan from fading, drying, deformation, bending, cracking, loosening and detachment.

(2) It can be wiped with light salt water for a period of time after use, which can not only decontaminate but also keep its flexibility for a long time, and also has a certain effect of preventing brittleness and moth.

(3) Keep ventilation, which is easy to breed mildew spots in woven mesh eyes, which can avoid mildew spots and keep dry.

(4) when cleaning, you can use a vacuum cleaner to suck it first, then wipe it with a damp rag, and then wipe it with a soft cloth.
