What is the weight capacity of sofa beds?

What are Microsuede and Microfiber fabrics?

Sofa beds and other living room furniture are often available in a Microsuede or Microfiber fabric. You might be wondering about the difference between the two.

Microsuede

Microsuede is a type of Microfiber. Microsuede is a human-made polyester fabric, made up of millions of very fine microfibers. Faux suede has the same feel as genuine suede leather but has fewer problems associated with the real thing. Microsuede is cheaper than genuine suede and is more resistant to wear and stains. It also comes in lots of different colors and can be printed in various patterns.

Microfiber

Microfiber is a term used to describe fabrics with strains less than one denier (a denier is a unit used to measure the linear mass density of fibers). Most human-made microfibers are made from nylon, polyester, or a combination of both. These fine threads produce lightweight fabrics, that are easy to clean, and are resistant to wrinkles and stains, but still, have a luxurious appearance. They’re popular in clothing, furnishings, and cleaning products.

How do I care for my sofa?

Your sofa is more than a piece of furniture—it’s the heart of your living space. With a little regular care, you can keep it clean, comfortable, and beautiful for years.

Clean Regularly

  • Vacuum weekly with a soft-brush upholstery attachment to remove dust and allergens.
  • For homes with pets, use a lint roller to pick up hair and keep cushions looking neat.
  • Act fast on spills—blot with a clean cloth instead of rubbing, and use a mild soap solution if needed.

Care for Your Sofa’s Material

  • Fabric: Vacuum regularly, spot clean with upholstery-safe cleaners, and consider a fabric protector spray.
  • Leather: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth, apply leather conditioner every six months, and keep out of direct sunlight.
  • Faux Leather: Clean with mild soap and water, and use faux leather conditioner to prevent drying.
  • Microfiber: Vacuum weekly, blot stains with rubbing alcohol or a water-alcohol mix, and restore texture with a soft-bristled brush.

Prevent Wear and Tear

  • Rotate cushions to prevent uneven wear.
  • Use throws or slipcovers in high-traffic areas.
  • Keep drinks on coasters and food on trays.
  • Avoid placing your sofa in direct sunlight to protect colors.
  • Ensure good airflow around your sofa to avoid moisture buildup.

A few minutes of care each week can protect both the look and feel of your sofa, making it a welcoming place for years of comfort and connection.

What is a Left Hand Facing (LAF) and Right Hand Facing (RAF) chaise sectional?

If you’re shopping for a sectional sofa, you may come across the terms Left Hand Facing (Left Arm Facing, or LAF) and Right Hand Facing (Right Arm Facing, or RAF). These terms refer to the orientation of the sectional and the location of the chaise relative to the rest of the sofa.

Right Arm Facing (RAF) sectional
Right Arm Facing (RAF) sectional

A sectional sofa typically consists of two or more separate pieces that can be connected together to form one large sofa. One of these pieces is typically a chaise, which is a long, low piece with extra seat depth for lounging.

When you’re facing the sectional sofa, the chaise will be on either your left or right-hand side. If the chaise is on your right-hand side, you have a Right Arm Facing (RAF) sectional, also known as a sectional facing right. If the chaise is on your left-hand side, you have a Left Arm Facing (LAF) sectional, also known as a sectional facing left.

Some sectionals are also available with chaises on both sides or a chaise that can be attached on either side of the sofa. In this case, the sectional is called reversible.

What does split leather mean when it comes to sofas?

When related to sofas, split leather refers to a layer of leather that comes from the underside of a hide, separated from the top grain. It is typically less durable and less natural in appearance than full-grain or top-grain leather. Split leather is often processed and treated with finishes to improve its look and feel, and it may be used on less visible parts of a sofa (like the sides or back) or combined with synthetic materials. It’s a cost-effective option but generally less supple and durable compared to higher-quality leathers.
