Blog 3: How to Choose a High-Quality Sofa – What the Experts Say

A luxury sofa is an investment—so how do you know you’re getting quality? According to leading interior designers and industry studies, focus on three pillars: frame, suspension, and upholstery.

1. Frame: The best sofas feature solid hardwood frames (think kiln-dried oak, beech, or maple) for strength and durability. Avoid particleboard or plastic components, which can sag or warp over time.

2. Suspension: Look for eight-way hand-tied springs or sinuous steel springs. These provide superior support and longevity compared to cheaper webbing.

3. Upholstery: High-quality sofas use tightly woven fabrics, top-grain leather, or performance textiles that resist wear and stains. Double-stitched seams and removable cushion covers are hallmarks of premium craftsmanship.
