What materials are used for the sofas?

The hardness of the sofa cushion does not depend entirely on the material, independent springs, serpentine springs, and sponge cushions can all produce sofa cushions of various softnesses. At present, the most commonly used is the sponge cushion, if from the perspective of life, the pure sponge cushion has more or less the possibility of collapse for a long time, the life of the cushion using the spring will be longer, especially the seat spring (independent spring) is not easy to deform, the rebound is better, because the spring is afraid of horizontal pull, not afraid of vertical pressure, but due to the relatively high cost and process requirements of the independent spring, it is currently used in mattresses and high-end sofas. Compared with serpentine springs, independent springs have a higher arrangement density, so they have stronger hardness and durability, while serpentine springs have lower arrangement density and better softness.

"sofa" is a foreign word, transliterated from the English word sofa. It is a multi-seater chair with upholstery. A chair with a backrest such as springs or thick styrofoam and armrests on both sides is a type of soft furnishings.

The origins of sofas can be traced back to ancient Egypt around 2000 BC, but the real upholstered sofas appeared in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

The origins of sofas can be traced back to ancient Egypt around 2000 BC, but the real upholstered sofas appeared in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. At that time, sofas were mainly filled with natural elastic materials such as horsehair, bird feathers, and plant fluff, and the outside was covered with fabrics such as velvet and embroidery to form a soft human contact surface. For example, the Farthingle chair, which was popular in Europe at that time for the general public, was one of the earliest armchairs.

Looking back on the history of China's sofa development, we should first recommend the "jade table" of the Han Dynasty. The "jade table" depicted in the "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" with a thick layer of fabric can be seen as the "ancestor" of the Chinese sofa.

With clean lines, it is suitable for modern homes. The European sofa is characterized by a modern style, with elegant colors and simple lines, which is suitable for most families. This sofa is also suitable for a wide range of applications, and it feels good in all styles of living rooms.

In the 21st century, light-colored sofas are more popular, such as white, beige, etc.
