jay_bmore asked:


I recently purchased a cream colored leather sofa. Unfortunately, a maroon colored comforter was left on it and now some of the maroon color has transferred to the leather. I’m thinking that it’s ruined but maybe there’s a way to minimze the appearance of the stain.

What To Consider When Buying A Sofa Bed

June 12th, 2010 | Posted in sofas   Comments Off
Gen Wright asked:


many homes at one time or another when the need for some extra sleeping space may be needed, for example an unexpected guest, children with friends who want to sleep over or that quite simply the situation in the home has arisen where another bed is required but the space is limited.

This is when choosing to purchase a sofa bed is ideal, not only do they act as a bed, but in the daytime they can be folded away to provide a sitting area. They are ideal as an extra sleeping space in a bedroom with limited space, or perhaps in a room downstairs. They can function as a sitting area and can be folded out if a family member or friend decides to stay over night.

Sofa beds are also ideal for student accommodation; again they are useful for a seating area by daytime but double up as a sleeping area in the evening. This allows students to have more space in their rooms. There are many sofa beds to choose from and prices can vary accordingly.

There are traditional sofa beds like the pull out ones that have been on the market for many decades. These function by removing the sitting cushions, and pull out the mattress from inside the sofa. It is sometimes best to have a go at this before purchasing as some are easier than others to pull out.

When looking to purchase a sofa bed, you may come across a futon these are similar in the fact that they also double the same as a sofa bed. This means that they also can be a seating area as well as converting to a sleeping area but the two are totally different.

The futons like the sofa beds come in many different colors, but they are more for a back room than a living room, the cushion does not always stay under you when sitting and has to be pulled up every so often, for some people this can often be a nuisance.

There are some questions you can ask yourself before purchasing a sofa bed for example how often it is going to be used as a bed just once in a while, and then the rest of the time as a sofa. If it is going to be used as a sofa more often than a bed then when looking for one you need focus on the sitting comfort in respects to the sleeping comfort. This does not mean you have to skimp when you buy one after all you do not want a guest leaving with a back problem due to the sleeping arrangements.

Try a sofa bed out if you can to test the firmness, a sofa bed with an inner spring will be a lot firmer than one with a foam mattress. There are many with foam which may be comfortable for sitting but if it is to be used quite a bit for sleeping on then the comfort may not be five stars. It is possible to go online and look at the many different sofa beds available all varying in price, quality and color. Those of you who are looking for the ultimate space saving bed then consider investing in a sofa bed, ideal for sitting and sleeping on.

Zarabanda asked:


I’ve been taking care of a woman who have been badly ill (epilepsy) and she stayed laying in her sofa for weeks and often urinated on herself in the sofa, and so, urine is deep into the sofa.

How can I clean this? How can I remove the smell, which is quite offensive?

Sofa

Jesse Akre asked:


When people go to furnish and decorate their homes, for whatever the reason, the one option that most of them tend to overlook that would be perfect for their space is lavish sofa & console tables. The thing is, this is the one furnishing selection that should not be overlooked because not only are they extremely appealing to the eye, but they are also very functional and would be an excellent addition to any room of your home.

Sofa & console tables are available in a wide variety of styles and designs, which allows them to be a wonderful furnishing option for any place throughout your home. They are designed to be placed against the wall and back in the day, people thought that they only spot that you could put one was at the end of a long hallway. But, in today’s modern world, that is all changing. People are actually starting to buck traditions now because they realize that these quality furnishing really work well in any room. For instance, in the living room one ideal place for one is on a main wall that needs some breaking up. It would also be great as focal point for the room, which you could use as a starting point for decorating and furnishing the rest of your space. So, you begin with the table, then you could add things around it like maybe a matching mirror over it, a decorative flower vase or sculpture on it, and then other furniture around it, like deep seated chairs or something similar. Really, whatever you choose to do will work and in no time you will have a completed look to your space. Other great locations for one include in the bedroom, even the bathroom, as a decorative accent, a kitchen area where you need just a little something extra to bring the space together, or in an entryway that is a little to bare. And yes, the hallway is still a good option for one too because you can never go wrong by following tradition even though it is sometimes more fun to start new and interesting trends.

You are probably thinking to yourself, why are sofa & console tables so versatile? Well, the answer is quite simple, it is because they are available in a wide variety styles and many different designs. For example, some can be very quaint and will have a simple design with just legs and a table top, which is great for giving your space a very sophisticated, clean look. Those of the simpler variety can be made from different materials including wood (like selected hardwoods) and even metal (like cast aluminum steel) with glass table tops. There are also ones that have very complex designs, featuring ornamental metal scrollwork, detailed woodworking, and elegant hardware. Those that are more complex are also made from the same type of material as the simpler ones, but can also come with drawers, shelves, and cabinets for both storing and displaying items, which makes them very practical. To check out all the different kinds that are available, instead of heading to your local furniture store, just plunk yourself down in front of the computer and do some online comparison shopping.

So, when it is time to decorate your home, do not overlook sofa & console tables. They are an eye-catching , functional selection that would enhance the look of any room throughout your home. Get a few for your space today, because when your guests end up in awe over your home decorating tastes, you will be glad that you did.

Where can I find an inexpensive stretch slipcover for my sofa?

June 5th, 2010 | Posted in sofas   Comments Off
tori_729 asked:


I have a lightly padded sofa with really small armrests that are half wood and I know if I bought a regular slipcover it would be way too big. Is it hard to make one of those fit my sofa?
I would be open to a no-sew method, however buying sheets for it is just as expensive as getting a ready-made cover.
I can find surfit covers on eBay for $30 and I am looking for something to make/buy in that range.
