PU Leather Upholstered Recliner Sofa

Our manufacturing process of PU leather begins with the creation of a fabric base, made of polyester. This fabric forms the foundation for the PU coating. A polyurethane layer is then applied to this base, creating the leather-like texture. This fabric undergoes a bonding process with a polyurethane layer, achieved through heat and pressure application, creating the characteristic leather-like texture.

Following the bonding of polyurethane to a fabric base, the PU leather undergoes essential treatments. Through embossing, natural grain patterns are replicated, creating a tactile feel that closely resembles genuine leather. Colouration, achieved through pigments or dyes, offers a broad spectrum of colours, from classic tones to vibrant shades, catering to diverse design preferences. 

Finally, an additional coating and finishing treatment is applied, contributing to its durability, creating a protective layer against spills and minor scratches, while adding a polished lustre to the PU leather, resulting in a visually appealing and versatile material for crafting stylish and resilient sofas.

Key Benefits

• Ease of Maintenance: Simple dusting and occasional wiping down with a damp cloth keep PU leather sofas looking fresh and inviting, making them a hassle-free choice for busy households.
• Allergy Friendly: The allergy-friendly nature of PU leather makes it an ideal choice for those with sensitivities. Unlike traditional upholstery materials, PU leather doesn't provide a hospitable environment for allergens or dust mites to accumulate. 
• Sustainable Choice: PU leather is crafted from synthetic materials, reducing the need for large-scale animal farming and the associated environmental impact. Moreover, the production process generally involves fewer resources and emits fewer pollutants compared to the energy-intensive and chemically involved tanning processes associated with genuine leather. 
• High Abrasion Resistance: Our PU leather boasts excellent resistance to wear & tear, exceeding 50,000 Martindale rubs. This exceeds industry standards for heavy-duty use, ensuring the chairs maintain their pristine appearance for years to come.
• Stain & Minor Scratch Resistance: The non-porous treatment of PU leather repels liquids and resists minor scratches, making it easier to clean up spills and prevent permanent marks. This is particularly beneficial in homes with children or pets.
• Fire Retardancy: Our PU leather upholstery is fire-resistance tested, complying with the UK fire safety standards for your peace of mind.
• Rich Leather Grain: These sofas boast a realistic leather grain pattern, offering a visually indistinguishable resemblance to the real thing, adding a touch of sophistication and timeless elegance to your living space.
• Full-Body Recline: Unwind in style with this single-seater sofa's built-in reclining function. The entire seat seamlessly reclines back, allowing you to personalise your relaxation position. As you recline, the integrated leg rest extends, providing complete support from head to toe, ensuring ultimate comfort for solo relaxation.
• Modular Design: Choose between the 2-seater or 3-seater sofa units, or combine them to create a spacious L-shaped sectional or a larger straight sofa, tailoring your seating configuration to your unique requirements.

High Density Foam Cushioning

When it comes to sofas, comfort reigns supreme. High-density foam plays a crucial role in achieving that perfect balance between plushness and support, ensuring hours of comfortable seating.

Crafting high-density foam for sofas involves an extensive process designed to achieve a densely packed yet weight-absorbing structure. High-quality polyurethane with a specific chemical composition is used as the base material. The PU is mixed with additives and undergoes a controlled chemical reaction, causing it to expand and solidify. Precise temperature and pressure control are crucial for achieving the desired density. The cured foam is carefully cooled and stabilised to ensure it retains its shape and density.

Unlike lower-density foams, high-density options resist flattening and maintain their shape over time. This ensures your sofa remains comfortable and supportive throughout its lifespan. High-density foam provides better support for your body, distributing weight evenly and minimising pressure points. This translates to reduced fatigue and increased comfort, even during extended lounging sessions.

Supportive Webbing

The web suspension support system featured in this sofa utilises strong, woven straps that are made of polypropylene, which undergo a precise weaving process on specialised looms, ensuring consistent strength and flexibility. They then receive additional treatments to enhance their resistance to moisture, mildew, and wear.

When the straps are ready to be used, they are stretched across the frame of both the seat and backrest in a grid-like pattern. They are secured to the frame using staples, clips, or other fasteners and the tension is carefully adjusted to achieve the desired level of support and bounce, ensuring neither an overly firm nor a sagging experience over time.

When you sit on a sofa with web suspension, your weight is distributed across the woven straps. The straps provide a base layer of support and help prevent the high density foam cushions from sinking excessively, creating a comfortable seating experience with a soft 'give'. This allows for a slightly springy, flexible surface that adapts to your body contours and offers a comfortable seating experience with both support and a gentle bounce. This partnership between the high-density PU foam cushioning and the supportive webbing is crucial for a comfortable and long-lasting sofa.

Care guide

• Regular Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth on a routine basis to effectively remove dust particles and prevent the accumulation of dirt. This practice not only ensures a consistently clean and polished look but also safeguards against potential abrasions that can occur when dirt particles settle on the surface over time.
• Spot Clean: Promptly address spills by gently blotting the affected area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as it may drive the spill deeper into the PU leather. For liquid spills, use a paper towel to absorb as much as possible before blotting.
• Gentle touch: Avoid using harsh brushes or abrasive cleaning tools, as they can damage the fibres. 
• Mild Cleaning Agents: Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or potent cleaning agents when caring for PU leather. Opt for gentle, water-based cleaning solutions and test it on a small area to ensure compatibility before application.

Quick Buying & Sizing Guide

Length & Width: Measure the longest and widest areas where you plan to place the sofa. Also Measure the doorways and hallways the sofa needs to pass through during delivery.

Account for Traffic Flow: Imagine walking through your living space. Ensure the chosen sofa allows comfortable movement without feeling cramped. As a general rule of thumb, aim for 45-60cm of clearance around the sofa for easy passage and space for other furniture such as a dining table set, side table or coffee table.

Consider Your Room Size & Shape:

• Rectangular Living Room: Sectional sofas or a combination of sofa and loveseat work well. Place the sofa along the longest wall for optimal use of space. 
• Square Living Room: A standard sofa or multiple loveseats are both good choices. Place the sofa centrally against the wall to create balance. You can also go for an L-shaped sofa or a modular sofa set to fill up the room and increase the seating. 
• L-Shaped Living Room: Opt for a modular sofa set that follows the shape of the room. Place the sofa in the corner for a cosy arrangement. 
• Open Concept Living/Dining Area: Sectional sofas work well to delineate the living area. Also consider a sofa with a chaise or a corner sofa for visual separation and a spot to kick your feet up. Use the sofa to visually divide the space and leave roughly 90cm of clearance around it for comfortable flow and access.

Choosing the Right Arrangement:

• Focal Point: If your living space has a natural focal point like a fireplace or TV, positioning the sofa directly facing it creates a central gathering area. This arrangement encourages conversation and allows everyone to comfortably enjoy the focal point.
• Conversation Pit: Do you love hosting social gatherings? A conversation pit arrangement promotes interaction and creates a more intimate setting. Arrange several sofas and chairs in a semi-circular formation around a coffee table to foster engaging conversations.
• L-Shaped: Maximise seating capacity and define separate areas within a larger room by utilising an L-shaped sofa. This arrangement works particularly well in corner spaces and is ideal for open-plan living areas where you want to define different zones within the room.
• Sectional Flexibility: Opt for a sectional sofa if you desire customisation and the ability to adapt the layout to your specific needs and space limitations. Sectional sofas come in various configurations and sizes, allowing you to create the perfect seating arrangement for your space.
