Let’s talk about upholstered furniture
The choice of upholstered furniture today is amazing. Indeed, the imagination of designers is limitless. So many shapes and colors. This is not surprising, because purchases are often made with the «eyes». But one should not judge upholstered furniture only by its appearance, the main thing is its internal structure.
The construction of furniture and its content are more important than its design. High-quality upholstered furniture makes it possible to relax and get rid of stress, and poor quality furniture only increases the load.
Hence all our radiculitis, osteochondrosis and other problems with the spine and muscles.
The upholstered furniture system can consist of 20 or more components.
The padding material is often foam rubber. This filler is inexpensive. It has good physical and technical properties. You should pay attention to its density. It should be from 30 kg/m2. If this indicator is lower, then very quickly the foam rubber will become hard or crumble.
Molded polyurethane foam is more resilient and reliable than foam rubber.
A synthetic winterizer is often used as a gasket between the filler and the upholstery. Its density must be at least 300 g/m2.
In the manufacture of expensive furniture, only natural ingredients that have been tested are used.
With great attention, manufacturers approach parts of the internal structure of furniture. The wood is used seasoned, this allows you to make the joints strong. If there are knots and cracks on the beam, even if they are very small, it is rejected. Also, the wooden structure is subject to special treatment with antifungal compounds.
Metal structures are used in unusual models. The metal undergoes anti-corrosion treatment. Sometimes parts are chrome-plated, and in expensive models aluminum or titanium can be used.
Furniture fabrics are usually categorized. They differ in price and their performance characteristics. Important indicators are «fabric abrasion» and resistance to fading.
Today, covers are often removable, so you can change them at any time.
Leather can be used as upholstery material. Its varieties are also divided into categories. Each manufacturer has their own.
