Question 1

What is the difference between a manual and electric recliner?

Accepted Answer

Manual recliners use a lever or body weight to recline, while electric recliners use a motorised mechanism controlled by buttons to allow for smoother, adjustable positioning and effortless operation.

Question 2

How much space do I need behind a recliner sofa?

Accepted Answer

Most recliners require 10–15 cm of clearance behind the sofa when fully reclined, though some designs are more space-efficient because they slide forward as they recline.

Question 3

Are recliner sofas suitable for smaller living rooms?

Accepted Answer

Recliner sofas can be suitable for smaller living rooms if you account for the full extension depth, with slim-profile models being particularly effective for compact Irish homes.

Question 4

What is the difference between a recliner sofa and a recliner armchair?

Accepted Answer

A recliner sofa seats multiple people and often features dual reclining ends, whereas a recliner armchair is designed for a single user and offers more layout flexibility as an accent piece.

Question 5

How do I choose the right size sofa for my living room?

Accepted Answer

Start by measuring your available space and room depth. Leave at least 90 cm clearance for walkways and 40–45 cm between the sofa and coffee table if you have one. In many Irish new-build homes, living rooms range between 3.2–4.5 metres wide, so oversized sofas can quickly dominate the space.

Question 6

What is the standard depth of a sofa?

Accepted Answer

Most sofas range between 85–100 cm deep. 85–90 cm suits upright sitting, 95–110 cm offers deeper lounging comfort. If you prefer stretching out or taller household members are using it, a deeper seat (55–65 cm seat depth) is often more comfortable.

Question 7

What is the difference between fixed-back and scatter-back sofas?

Accepted Answer

High-back sofas offer a cleaner, more structured look and require less daily maintenance. Pillow-back sofas provide a softer, relaxed aesthetic but require regular cushion plumping to maintain shape. Your choice depends on styling preference and how much upkeep you’re comfortable with.

Question 8

Which sofa material is most durable for family homes?

Accepted Answer

Durability depends on construction and fabric rating. Performance polyester is great for resisting staining and fading, especially from sunlight. Leather is long-lasting and easy to wipe clean, while velvet offers luxury but may require more maintenance.
For busy Irish households with children or pets, tightly woven fabrics or protected leather are often safest.

Question 9

How long should a good quality sofa last?

Accepted Answer

A well-built sofa with a hardwood frame should last at least 7–15 years. Higher-end frames and quality foam cushions can extend lifespan further. Regular cushion rotation and correct cleaning significantly increase durability.

Question 10

What cushion filling is best: foam, fibre, or feather?

Accepted Answer

High-density foam offers firm support and shape retention. Fibre-filled cushions feel softer but may flatten quicker. Feather blends provide luxury softness but require regular plumping. Your ideal option depends on comfort preference and maintenance tolerance.
