Sofa, Couch or What?



S.J.D., of Belleville posed this question to The Answer Man:
Q. Why do we have two very different names for a couch/sofa? When you look on craigslist, they are used interchangeably. Is there a difference?

Interesting article about the history of the name!

I have some further input on the question. My husband used to call the sofa a couch or davano until I corrected him Now he's pretty good at just using sofa for the multiple seat thing in the den or living room, usually taken by the dog.

Helpful Tips on Buying the Perfect Sofa



When in the market to buy a new sofa, the endless options available to us can be overwhelming.  Whether you're looking for a high-end sofa with traditional design, or a more modern or contemporary piece, you'll have a better chance at successfully finding the right sofa with just a bit of planning prior to your search.  With various factors to consider, we wanted to offer a few tips to make the decision-making process smoother.  Ideally, you’d first want to consider your personal needs, and how you'd like your new sofa to match your home and lifestyle.

Frame Construction
A sofa's frame provides the foundation and should be one of the first factors to consider when buying a sofa.  A high quality sofa should sit squarely on the floor without any wobbling or creaking.  This indicates that joints are sturdy and will last a long time.  You'll also want to ensure that the wood used is of the highest quality and if possible, opt for furniture constructed with kiln-dried wood to prevent undue warping and expanding over time due to moisture or changes in climate.

Cushion Style


As with any cushioning, ensure that it is firm yet pliable, and regains its shape after pressing down upon it and let go.  Down-filled cushions are optimal, though are generally more expensive.  Down-filled cushioning is comfortable to sit on as they conform to one’s body, however, they may need to be fluffed up and turned occasionally to maintain their form and shape.

Also, check that a back sofa's cushion has no hard spots and sofa-bed cushions all fit snugly in place.  For optimal comfort, choose a seat with depth depending upon your height.  The taller a person is, the more seat depth would be needed.

Sofa Arm Style


There are several styles of sofa arms from which to choose, such as curved, traditional rolled, straight, or even armless sofas.  Whichever your preference, check to see that the sofa arms are properly joined to the sofa frame and are well-padded.

Upholstery
Another point to consider is the type of fabric to look for on sofas.  From the cushion of the sofa bed to the accent and support pillows, you'll want to have the highest quality in textiles and upholstery.  The materials and cloths used should be carefully considered according to your lifestyle.  For instance, if small kids will be around your sofa, you may wish to avoid smaller designer pieces such as beads or sequins.  Knowing these details beforehand can help prevent any potential issues later on.


Sofa Body
From sofa-beds to sectionals, there are as many sofa body styles as there are types of fabric.  Take some time to browse different styles to get a better feel for what size, shape and style you need.


Savannah Collections' Santa Barbara Sectional Sofa above provides ample space for a relaxing retreat, with generous support and accent pillows for a cozy yet luxurious setting.


If a leather sofa is what you’re seeking, the Henredon Leather Sofa shown above defines elegant comfort with its tufted leather cushioning, gracefully rolled arm rests, and nail-head accents.

The Perfect Sofa
We hope that these tips and ideas will provide a solid basis for your search in finding the perfect sofa.  Since your sofa will stay with you for a significant period of your life, you'll inevitably want to ensure you can enjoy your investment for a long time.

Strange, But Wonderful!

I recall reading some many months ago that a chemical on sofas was causing sitters to get burned by the chemicals resulting in blisters. Now that chemical, dimethyl fumarate "...is getting a second chance—as a much ballyhooed multiple sclerosis drug called Tecfidera, whose sales could be enormous.

"Among doctors, there's "a strong consensus that Tecfidera offers a more favorable clinical profile than other oral or injectable first-line options," says an analyst. Indeed, some patients have reportedly been waiting for Tecfidera's FDA approval, which came yesterday, before starting any kind of MS treatment"

Ed Sheeran - "Sofa"



Ed Sheeran just appeared on the Grammy's Sunday and has a song out called Sofa:

Lyrics to Sofa :
She's reinventing loving me
When we're resembling cutlery on the sofa
It must have been about 5.01
Like my blue ripped jeans
And my eyes are closed
And I'm way too tired
Hoody still smells of the beach bonfire
On the sofa, where we lay
I wanna stay inside all day
And it's cold outside, again

And we're both so high
We could fly to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
We can go where you want
Say the word and I'll take ya
But I'd rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa, with you

When the morning comes
We're not watching Formula I
It's not what we breathe for
So kick off the day with Friends on T4
Two, boiled and brew
Two sugars ain't too sweet for you
On the sofa, where we lay
I wanna stay inside all day
And it's cold outside, again
And we're still so high

We could fly to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
We can go where you want
Say the word and I'll take ya
But I'd rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa, with you

And it feels like I'm flying
And it feels like
We could go to Berlin, Tokyo or Jamaica
Through the streets of New York
That is where I will take ya
Paris, Rome, to Rio
Passing through Las Vegas
We can go where you want
Say the word, and I'll take ya
But I'd rather stay on the sofa
On the sofa
On the sofa, with you

I wonder what color of sofa.

What does your sofa say about you?



We have a red leather sofa in the living room and a green leather sofa in the den, where we watch the Blazers play. In the case of the red sofa, the article by Kim Palmer says "the color encourages action and confidence and sets a bold, bright tone. Red is also directly related to energy. If you want a fire-y, vibrant room, then red is for you."

Sounds right! :)

Old Couch Kicked To The Curb



Brad Flory writes today about a husband surprised when his wife said, “I ordered new furniture.” 

Many times, each day is pretty much like the day before and tomorrow is déjà vu all over again. We see our sofa that we plop down on at night as perfectly fine.  The stains by "...gallons of accumulated potato chip oil and snore spittle..." aren't even noticed. Noticed, that is, until we move or sit it out on the curb.  Then we see it was perfectly ugly, misshapened and stained.  Most of the time a "FREE" sign won't move the thing. And the last thing agencies that collect furniture for the down-on-their-luck need is another sofa.

Selling furniture is about creating a need. The furniture industry needs Brad Flory to write our ad copy.

"Just Right" Sofa



Did you hear about the man who awoke and found a stranger sleeping on his sofa?
Deputies woke up the man, later identified as Kevin Mace, 41, only to discover that he was intoxicated. Mace lives several trailers away and deputies believe he stumbled into the wrong residence and found a sofa that was "just right" for slumber.
This reminds me of the story of the Dad who comes home from work and wanders into the wrong house because all the houses look the same.  Kevin Mace maybe couldn't tell that he was on the wrong sofa because too many sofas look alike.

If you want a new sofa and want to be able to choose between a contemporary, traditional or transitional sofa in fabric or leather in all sizes, you should be coming to Landfair Furniture + Design Gallery.  We have Duralee, Sherrill, Precedent, Rowe, and now Lexington and we are sure we can help you find something that will fit your budget.

Why are flame retardants required in furniture, anyway?

Florence Williams asks the question on her Slate blog.
The European Union had recently banned two of the major commercial formulas of brominated flame retardants, called penta- and octa-BDEs. Produced in large quantities in the United States to meet furniture and other fire codes, they were poured into products—and quickly migrated into dust, air, soil, waterways, effluent, and food. Because flame retardants don't break down easily, they remain for years in the tissues of birds, aquatic organisms and mammals, including us, albeit in small quantities. An endocrine disruptor and neurotoxin, the retardants are linked to thyroid disorders and reproductive problems in animals and humans. blockquote>
