Troubleshooting
View all →Common Failure Modes
Foam degradation causing sagging cushions is the most common issue. In cheaper sofas, the frame can crack or the suspension springs can snap.
Maintenance
View all →Deep clean upholstery biannually
Vacuum all surfaces including under cushions every 2 weeks. Deep clean with upholstery cleaner or steam cleaner every 6 months. Leather sofas need conditioner quarterly to prevent cracking.
Rotate and flip cushions monthly
Rotate seat cushions 180 degrees and swap positions monthly. Flip reversible cushions. This distributes wear evenly and prevents permanent body impressions in the foam.
Rotate Cushions
Sitters favor certain spots, causing uneven sagging. Rotating cushions distributes wear evenly.
Vacuum Upholstery
Dirt acts like sandpaper on fabric fibers. Vacuuming removes grit and extends fabric life.
