Some sofas only take you so-far: Our Tips and Tricks for Sofa Longevity
At aquaclean, our team have the secrets for finding the perfect long-lasting sofa. James Lowe from our UK sales team recently shared the most common mistakes people make when choosing a lounge centrepiece, highlighting the often-overlooked importance of considering your sofa with both your lifestyle and personal style.
Furniture Fundamentals
James explains that a fundamental consideration when buying your sofa is to never underestimate how much it will have to endure over the years. Our living rooms are often the hub of the home, and post-work relaxation usually happens on a comfortable sofa that fits the whole family.
James’ first tip is to choose a “solid and supportive” sofa: cushions that feel firmer often last longer than those that are already soft when purchased. The new Grand Designs Mova sofa by DFS features supportive cushioning and a deep seat profile, promising not only comfort but also long-lasting durability. The sofa features aquaclean fabric, specially developed to withstand heavy use, ensuring your sofa stays fresh for years to come.
The Space Mistake
Many people don’t consider how their dream sofa will integrate into their living room space – they focus only on style and comfort. James urges you not to make this mistake!
A simple solution to suit your individual space needs is to choose a versatile modular sofa, offering comfort and style in equal measure whilst remaining adaptable. Customising your ideal living room setup has never been easier than with the DFS Grand Designs Mova sofa, which can transform from a cosy two-seater into a longer, spacious corner sofa for the whole family. Not only does it adapt to suit your personal space and style, but James highlights that the Mova sofa comes in 8 different aquaclean Easy Clean colours, including Charcoal, Ochre and Mink amongst others.
The Stain Problem
Nobody wants to purchase a sofa only to ditch it within the first two years because of a stubborn stain – especially one caused by messy kids or a muddy dog. That’s why James recommends planning ahead at the point of purchase: “Prepare for this inevitability,” he says, “by choosing a stain-resistant fabric that’s easy to care for!”
aquaclean’s unique upholstery fabric resists both big and small messes, making everyday stains a piece of cake. With just a little water and a single cloth, your sofa can look sparkling clean and brand-new again in seconds. The fabric is also high-quality and hard-wearing, meaning it resists tears and gives you a longer life with your sofa.
After all, your sofas should support your relaxation – not causing cleaning-related stress.
Peace For You and Your Furry Friends
An important consideration that James believes is often overlooked is fabric quality – and its impact on your pet. Many pet owners don’t necessarily prioritise this when choosing a sofa. As an avid defender of your pooch’s right to lounge with you, James suggests opting for pet-friendly fabrics to ensure a longer-lasting, more harmonious home life for both you and your beloved furry family member.
aquaclean’s fabric is not only treated with SafeFront technology – which reduces bacteria and pet-related mites by over 91% – but is also PFC-free and OEKO-TEX certified. This means that choosing your DFS Grand Designs Mova sofa supports both environmentally responsible practices and the health of you and your pets!
Now you’ll know exactly what to consider when designing your next living room – and thanks to aquaclean’s expert advice, you can showcase your style while suiting your lifestyle!
As James states: “Whatever your style, make sure your sofa works for your real life.”
Whether your home is prone to spills or filled with furry friends, aquaclean fabric ensures the long-lasting durability we all need from our sofas.
