We serve hundreds of customers every week, and after they have found the sofa they like, it is time to do the ultimate test, and that is sitting down. The sofas may look beautiful, and the colour is perfect, but if the sit is not right then do not waste your money. Each leather sofa is made differently, inside and out. The style of the sofas is easy to notice, as it is visible, but the interior is not.

The biggest debate between two people looking for a new leather suite is, firm seat opposed to a softer sit. The two most common cushion fillers are, either pocket sprung, or foam. The other factor is the seat suspension that are normally constructed using webbing, or zig zag springs.

Pockets make the seat firm and reduces puddling (cushions sagging), foams firmness depends on the density, the higher the density the firmer the sit. We recommend a firmer seat cushion as your leather sofa will soften with use over the years. So this being the case we have found, the firmer sofas out sell the softer ones.

When you next set out to buy a leather sofa, be sure to sit down and ask the sales person what the seat cushions are filled with, so you can get the best sit to suit you.
