Why can the price of the same sofa be so different?
Two sofas may look very similar from the outside, but the real difference often comes from the internal structure and materials that you cannot see.
By breaking down the inside of a sofa, we can better understand where the real cost comes from and why quality furniture requires attention to every detail.
1. Support Foam: The Foundation of Comfort
The support foam is one of the most important parts of a sofa.
For our sofas, the main support foam is 15 cm thick with a density of 55 kg/m³, providing stable support for daily use.
Some standard sofas may use thinner support layers combined with multiple foam pieces to achieve a certain thickness.
However, more layers do not always mean better support.
The thickness, density, resilience, and quality of the foam all play an important role in the final sitting experience.
A well-designed sofa needs to provide not only softness but also long-lasting support.
2. Top Foam Layer: Creating the Sitting Experience
The top foam layer directly affects how a sofa feels when you sit down.
Depending on different designs and comfort requirements, we select different high-density foam materials, including clear-water foam and space foam.
For our high-end furniture collections, we mainly use hand-foamed materials.
The larger foam cells provide better airflow and faster rebound, creating a lighter and more comfortable sitting experience.
This helps the sofa maintain both comfort and support over time.
3. Sofa Frame: The Structure Behind Durability
The frame is the foundation that supports the entire sofa.
For our sofa frames, we use Russian larch, carefully selecting wood with tighter growth rings and higher density.
Each piece of wood goes through detailed processing, including sanding, polishing, and careful control of knots.
A strong internal structure is essential because the frame carries the weight and supports the sofa throughout daily use.
The beauty of a sofa starts from the outside.
But its durability begins from inside.
4. Plywood: The Details Behind Quality
The internal boards are another important part of sofa construction.
Our plywood meets the ENF environmental standard, helping ensure a safer and more reliable material choice.
Different manufacturers may choose different grades of boards depending on their production requirements.
The material quality and environmental standards of internal components can also influence the overall performance of the furniture.
5. Down Filling: The Difference in Softness
For selected high-end sofas, we use northern goose down with up to 90% down content.
High-quality down provides a softer touch, better loft, and a more comfortable sitting experience.
However, the quality of down also depends on the processing method.
Proper cleaning and treatment help achieve a cleaner filling with a more comfortable feel.
The Real Cost of a Sofa Is Hidden Inside
The price of a sofa is not only about the leather, fabric, or appearance.
The real difference comes from the materials, internal structure, and craftsmanship hidden inside.
Two sofas may look similar from the outside.
But when you look deeper, you will discover the difference.
Because true quality is often found in the details you cannot see.
