Nothing transforms a room faster than comfortable, inviting sofas and chairs.
But buying upholstered furniture can be tricky, since you can’t see what’s beneath the fabric.
The term “upholstery” refers to sofas, chairs and other seating with permanently
attached covers of fabric or leather. Before you shop for upholstery, consider
two important criteria for any furniture: form and function. What do you want it
to look like and how will it be used?
No matter which form or function you choose, the comfort and quality of
upholstery are based on what’s hidden: the frame, springs and padding.
