Choose a sofa with resistant frame

Pay attention to the frame materials! This is an important factor because it is the fundamental piece of the structure of the sofa, it must be resistant because weight will be exerted on it. Taking the Togo sofa as an example, although it seems that it does not have a frame, it is an illusion! Since the frame is covered by aniline leather upholstery. This frame is made of wood resistant to temperatures and humidity.

Upholstery materials

The most popular upholstery material is aniline and full-grain leather, both of which show natural finishes and are resistant to drastic changes in temperature.

Cushions materials

The quality of the filling material is what will define how comfortable the bearings are, so make sure you choose materials such as polystyrene or high-density foam. Both are very easy to find on the market.
