Upholstered bench guide

Seating furniture is an important piece of furniture in every home. In particular, comfortable, visually appealing and high-quality upholstered furniture are of great importance for the appearance of living spaces. Since it is all about designing a stylish and as unique as possible furniture in a living room, the furniture should also meet this requirement. While a sofaA couch, armchairs and upholstered chairs are among the best known upholstered furniture, so there is at least one less common alternative. These are the upholstered bench , This has basically the same appearance as unpadded benches and therefore has a more graceful appearance than massive sofas. This makes it possible to furnish the apartment or at least the respective room in a completely different style than you are used to it yourself or can be seen in most apartments. Since already the appearance of a upholstered bench is unusual and allows an equally unusual furnishing style, you should pay particular attention to the quality of this piece of furniture. Since the bank, placed in the right place, will catch everyone’s eye, it should be carefully chosen.

Backrest or no backrest – what fits when?

As with other benches, so can one upholstered bench acquire both in a simple design, which has only a seat, as well as in more or less elaborate designs, which is provided with a backrest and armrests. Both versions have advantages, but are not equally suitable for every need. While models that have at least one backrest can replace a sofa as fully-fledged seating furniture, this is not a sensible idea in the simpler variants, without a backrest. The simpler versions are particularly suitable as an extension of an existing sofa corner or can be placed on the other side of a living room table, as occasionally used seating for guests, eliminating the need to set up several chairs. Alternatively, such upholstered bench as loungeror used as a long legrest. Models with at least one backrest, better still with armrests, however, are a real eye-catcher in the room. The fact that they are standing on relatively long legs and thus are a little more graceful than a sofa that almost reaches to the bottom, such upholstered benches appear a little more artistic. Here, it is important that the legs fit the style of the entire room and that elaborate ornaments complete the overall picture.

High quality upholstery and sturdy frame

If the question of the basic style and the intended use is clarified, then it is a question upholstered bench to find, which optically and qualitatively satisfies the own requirements. In particular, upholstery is important, because it depends on the overall look of the bank and its quality determines how much the bank can be used, or how long it will last. An important guideline for this are the scouring tours. These tell how often something, or someone, can slip over the fabric and scrub before it wears off. For a very low and careful use, a padding material with 10,000 rubbing cycles is the absolute minimum. A moderate use makes already 15,000 rubbing tours necessary. Even more robust fabrics with 20,000 or 30,000 rubs are even suitable for a careful use in public places and keep in the private sector for a long time, if frequent visit is pending and uses the upholstered bench accordingly. A padding with 40,000 rubs is usually used only in public transport. In the private sector, such a upholstered bench is virtually eternal. So that the overall quality is right, the frame should also be reasonably stable and also easily bear the weight of several people in the long term.
