Choosing the right upholstery
FIRM OR SOFT UPHOLSTERY SEATING.... WHAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU ? The answer to this will change from person to person! Some people prefer a firm sofa or chair while others like to sink in and be surrounded by the cushions while seated.
You can choose different degrees of firmness, from soft that has a foam core encased in a feather/down wrap, to firm that has a higher density foam core with a fibre/dacron wrap. Typically the softer cushion will give you a “lived in” look that needs fluffing and plumping to maintain its appearance while the firmer cushions will give you a more “tailored” look with less maintenance.
