Find Your Perfect Sofa

29 Mar 2022


Sofa is one of the most important assets you are likely to invest for your home. It delivers an irreplaceable statement in your living room. It is where you lounge, read, enjoy your cup of red tea, catch up with family and friends, watch your Netflix drama, conquer your Playstation games and even where you likely to take a powerful nap on. Thus, you should not only choose a sofa that matches your living space but also one that matches your daily lifestyle.


 

Sofa Styles

Sofas with legs are easier to access and maintain, as one does not need to stoop their body low to sit in it. They are raised well above the floor which requires less cleaning and overall maintenance to take care of since they do not collect as much dust and dirt. For individuals who prefer leaning and lounging while watching films, sofa with arms and low back are better for you while sofas with minimal or no arms are more suitable for individuals sitting in etiquette entertaining guests with a coffee table in front.


When we mention cosiness, most people may think of the inner sofa cushioning, and neglect the frame of the sofa, in which the back height, seat depth and sofa dimension constitute overall comfort. Low back height and deep seat depth allow individuals to lounge and rest their heads, exuding a relaxing and informal feel. High back with average seat depth on the other hand offer greater back support and portrait formal feel. Deeper seat depth gives you a larger sofa which can be your perfect soul mate when you need a power nap in the living space. Based on our interior designer’s advice, the optimal sofa dimension should have seat depth between 600mm-700mm and seat height of 400-450mm.

Although the sofa arms, seat height and seat depth play a part in the overall comfort. The ultimate comfort still depends very much on the inner cushioning that filled up the shape of the sofa. The three basic types of cushioning are feather, foam and fibre.


Feather and Foam filled cushioning

Pure feather cushioning is generally soft and lumpy. In OVO, most of our sofa collection is made using a combination of feather and foam fillings, this is to offer an incredibly plush lounging experience and support as a whole with a lower level of maintenance.


Foam-filled cushioning

Foam-filled requires little to no maintenance while offering the most structured look with crisp edges and a firm supportive feel. It portrays a luxurious uniform outlook and is suitable for individuals who need or prefer firm support.


Fibre-filled cushioning

Fibre-filled is usually made with polyester and this is the inner filling that gives you the ‘sink-in’ feeling of paradise. It is a good alternative for individuals who prefer little maintenance to upkeep the cushioning appearance while offering soft seating at the same time.
